Boxing and you

red server - A different issue, there are a lot of reasons why boxing makes sense and a lot of the boxing issues are solved with pvp anyways. Requiring constant buffs and in a certain order make some classes awful to play without boxing or gives a huge disadvantage to some classes that are helpless without certain buffs. If you come across someone boxing to hold down a camp you can most likely destroy them and fix that issue on a red server.

I think we found all three of the people still on red in one post.

No boxing is one of the reasons I keep coming back.
Every player character in the game is a person in real life.

If we could only keep it to one account per player and crack down on sharing characters.

When someone gets suspended on one account, they just play a diff character or some shared guild account until free.

Account sharing was an ez way to get a suspension if caught on live.

(just found out in this thread today that apparently speaking english is mandatory to be a player on p99, i cried a little inside [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )

I don't think English is mandatory to play on P99, just that if you box and get caught, not speaking English isn't going to be something that you can use as an excuse (i.e. because you couldn't read the rules or that because you can't understand English you couldn't comply with the staff's instructions when they investigate you for boxing)

Not true. Even eBay/PlayerAuctions RMT, while against the rules, never got anyone suspended that I ever heard about. If you paid your $10/month, you got to log in one toon at a time (per subscription). Their goal wasn’t to have a fair playing field, it was to get more of those $10/month.

It was “common” for “top” guilds on a server to require members to share login info with officers to prove they weren’t up to anything shady. I thought that was insane, but quite a few people seemed to think that was normal. I never shared mine, but I knew a number of people with pocket clerics/enchanters (I assume they bought them on eBay...) that shared info to me. One guy needed help buying subscription one month so he gave me his login, I paid for a month or two and had access to his boxing account for a long time, very convenient.

Along the lines of English being “required”, if you’re sharing an IP with someone (or anything that server staff could possibly interpret as similar) and there are two toons logged in, neither of you can afk or you’ll never pass a boxing test. You have to log one out if either/both of you are afk.

Not entirely “fair”, given that AFKing is perfectly allowed and can be super beneficial (IE friend lets you AFK soak up XP), but if you don’t want a ban, comply!

If my wife is playing and needs me to help her do something on her client, I log out before I’ll touch it. Kinda pisses her off.

Also a big shout out to some of the obvious idiots who'll sell high elf guard weapons on a second account and things like that. Shit's obvious and it'll cost you both accounts, why do it? Play properly like the rest of us. In that example, bind at the Steamfont druid rings and run back, takes 2 minutes - invis bank around the wall in Felwithe... its easy <3

How many IP exemptions have been given out since P99 started, I wonder? I bet its almost five figures...there's only so many "brothers" out there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Has this come up in the past? What if you have a second person log in to different level 1 characters just to do sales/transfers etc?

If the second person actually existed but in-game only served to be used for muling/sales/transfers etc would that be considered against the rules since it doesn't serve the spirit of the IP exemptions (ie, actually allowing families/roommates to each play the game)?

As long as it's one human being per character logged in and they're at the computer it should be fine

What about human clones? or paid labor...
I know this guy who hangs out at home depot. Considering paying him to play a cleric for me.
You think the staff would be cool with this?

I have access to over 40 level 60s in three different guilds. Not even kidding.
