Holy after making my post I just read yours and I have to STRONGLY disagree man. If they allow two boxing the server is over. At least the server economy is over.

Every halfway good platinum generating camp can now officially be Duo'd.

If you don't believe me check out the solo artists challenge where people have already duo'd such mobs as the Sebelite Protector - hits for 451 and can wipe out a small raid of 2-3 groups if things go bad.

Fungi king would be farmed 24/7 by someone boxing. So would crypt. So would HS South, East, West - hell probably even North.

Good luck finding somewhere to group or people motivated to group with when damn near every decent camp is taken by a person boxing.
Also have fun with your ruined economy when there is a massive influx of farmed items into the market to the point a heiro cloak is sitting at 5k and a fungi at 15k.

too lazy to quote the idiot who said

"LIKE EVERYONE DOESNT HAVE A POCKET DRUID OR CLERIC ALREADY?" as some kind of reasoning for destroying this server and classic eq with boxing


The answer is: No, you idiot, everyone does not have a pocket druid to port yourself or cleric to res yourself unless your boxing already.



Also, ive been to the aforementioned camps thousands of times on the server and no, they are not perma camped by 2-3 people, lol (even if they are, than what does it have anything to do with this argument?) but they will be perma camped by 1 person if boxing was allowed (hence why its not)

Your cries at making EQ easier and removing the need for any social interaction and disabling classic everquest will not work, go play wow you loser

Nah wow sucks thanks though. I still do play live Eq and 4box there. It's nice never having to look for a cleric or a tank or a puller or dps. Being able to go camp what i want when i want is nice and i like that feature. i also invite people to join me all the time when i box. Boxing being bad has to do with the selfcentered asses behind the computer not with the ability to control 2+ characters at once.

Also have fun with your ruined economy when there is a massive influx of farmed items into the market to the point a heiro cloak is sitting at 5k and a fungi at 15k.

So hanging out with another person you know, whom also has super awesome level 60 and camps Crypt with you, is different than you camping it as a duo by yourself?

The boxing then isn't the problem, the root issue is that the camps are doable by only two people.

If you're making the argument that boxing makes the process easier, then that's equally as weak because one person trying to play two characters in a situation that's difficult, is NOT as easy as doing it with someone else.

As for the economy, what's wrong with lower prices? A Fungi at 15k? Awesome, and good for them. It means that eventually people will STOP camping it, because it's not worth their time, which means there won't be any people interfering in innocent XP groups' camps. And 15k isn't that easy to come by, unless you have gifts from friends. So even at 15k, a Fungi would still elude most players until level 30 or 40+ meaning they aren't having too easy of a time ( Fungi is not that super, it's still easy to die. If the mob was going to kick your ass before without a Fungi, it'll still kick your ass with one).

Having said that, again this is not because of boxing, it's because of greed and imbalance in the game.

Face it, the majority of people whom would box, do it only to res/port themselves and their friends - it's purely about convenience.

Before I say anything else, I love that there is no (legal) boxing on the server, and we can all rest assured that there never well be.

That said, why in the world do you people keep yapping about how big-ticket camps being on lockdown by boxers would be "bad for the economy"? What is going to be bad about it? Hiero cloaks and fungis and GEBs and fingerbone hoops will all cost 1/4 of what they do right now. There isn't going to be a huge influx of PP. There isn't going to be a huge reduction of PP. There will just be more of those kinds of items available. The only people who get screwed when those items get cheap are the people who are currently farming those items to sell for PP.

Loving these banner ads lately, they seem to know a dog's dinner of a thread when they see it.

Safe to say the majority don't want 2-boxing and I hope that lasts for Velious and Luclin as well [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

being allowed to sell and buy accounts is what is actually the bigger problem here.

Yeah this doesn't help anything. Any people are in denial if they don't think people box here. It's not hard to tether a cell phone to a 10 year old laptop and load up EQ on it. Being able to just buy a toon for the cost of 1 item that you camped gives all to much incentive to just box.
