bull shit. not even going to go further than this. i mean, did you forget that many of us here actually played on both progression servers and would have remembered someone doing that? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No to boxing.

Sorry, even 2 boxing.

Boxing is a catch 22. In EQ live as computers got better and this game got older, it was a convenience to be able to box "X" class that was in high demand but low supply ... the rate limiter for grouping. Unfortunately, the impact of boxing on a server or population is a self-fulfilling prophecy of doom in my opinion. Even with 2 boxing, and for those classes that are needed ... you end up slowly killing the community. If everyone is 2 boxing, people will prefer to 2 box - especially those classes that have more downtime. Each "box" that exists takes up a spot for a real player.

I've seen what boxing does to an eq server over and over again. The owners of this EMU were wise to not only make it against the rules, but also to police it.

As convenient as a box might be, I'd rather have a vibrant community of mains/alts that rely on others to get things done.

So no ... no thanks.

Kudos for the police of this server for enforcing it.

Nilbog says no.

If you don't like that, start your own boxing server or try any of the other EQ Emu servers, plenty to choose from [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I have no problem with current rules. That being said, i would really like some shared bank slots, so i dont have to worry about losing my stuff.

Boxing was classic - and I don't think 2 boxing would really hurt the server in any significant way. Biggest casualties would be res, port, and PL for money. There are few high end camps that 2 60s can do safely but 1 60 cannot. Raiding again would just be the same old monkeys they'd just be on 2 toons instead of 1.

That said obviously the devs have spoken.

Would be nice if we were allowed boxing for transfers though! I think that is stupidly punitive. /em hides from the ban hammer.

Eh... The encounters are pretty simple on this server.

Belly Caster - Yes/No
Slowable - Yes/No
Rampage - Yes/No
Enrage - Yes/No
AOE - Yes/No
Avoid AOE by Walling - Yes/No

Answer those questions on run #1 and then hope your clerics have the mana to last through number 2.

Live EQ raiding is way more annoying to figure out events. The final one in VoA was a total bitch. You spend 90-120 minutes doing the whole encounter, and you get to the last part and due to no script / explanation / logic, you can fuck up the whole thing by killing the mobs in the wrong order. That was a fun waste of a night.
