a few unofficial rules for ip exemption

[Cyrius]

I am sure Nilbog explained his reasons somewhere on this forum already. I am in no way entitled to speak for him or his reasons as to why those rules are here. I am a server guide, and i enforce those rules. Nilbog may have more reasons than i know, but the most important for me was the one i already stated. To encourage a feeling of community, to make people work together (like it was intended for EQ), and to not have a handfull of people box all content alone.

No disrespect but are you honestly telling us that you just enforce the rules but have no idea why? I agree that regardless the owners of the server can do what they want. However, since we are having an open discussion it would be nice to know why or is that asking to much?

No, he hasn't.

Seriously, you need to start reading my whole post. I told you i do not know / remember all reasons why there is no boxing allowed, and i told you the most important one two times now. Do i have to know everything? No. You think every police officer knows the 3248957839475893475 laws they are enforcing and why they were made in the first place?

No, I don't think anyone can no everything but this is a major rule set on the server. You saying that you are unfamiliar with this rule, is like saying that a police officer doesn't know the burglary laws of his or her state. I realize that I beating a dead horse and will leave it as that.

However, this thread has told me one thing. Don't dual box unless you want to risk the chance of your IP getting banned.

Again, read my posts, i told you TWICE why there is a boxing rule. I am not unfamiliar with the rule, i know what it's intentions are. What more do i need to know? Seriously.

The "it fosters community" argument is complete bullshit. There is absolutely no evidence that the community is stronger without boxing. There is the same level of bullshit and elitism and anti-social behavior here as there is on any other server.

How many people solo?
How many husband/wife/brother/sister/drunken clown/terrified child combos of people play together and don't engage the community?
How many guilds lock others out of content?
How many people refuse to group with sub-optimal players?

How much of that is due to boxing?

Why is it okay for two or fifty-four people to be insular, but if a single person does it on his or her own it's a grievous injustice that must be stamped out?

You've clearly never played on a server that allowed boxing. Go check out ANY of the other Emu servers and you'll realize that if I can (and I have) 6-box on PEQ, why the hell do I need to interact with anyone else? I have my own optimally configured party, and so does everyone else. Or at least they have the option to, no one is out there LFG.

If it's even a little bit of a problem now, imagine how much worse it'll be when
1) those solos are now trios or quads
2) half a dozen poopsockers can now mobilize an ENTIRE Vox raid by logging in the whole force on 6 computers. 1/6 the moving parts (people) to coordinate means much faster engagement.

I cannot fathom how people don't see that boxing is bad in every respect every time.
