Item recharging abuse has the potential to ruin raiding.

Boxing abuse has the potential to ruin the entire server.

The decision to include some "classic" elements and to exclude others isn't primarily about consistency:

if it were then i would agree entirely that the OP is 100% right to point out that the devs have intentionally been inconsistent (i.e. there are some non-classic features that have been implemented and some classic features that have been intentionally not implemented.)

What is more important than consistency in all decisions regarding classic and non-classic features, regarding what to include or not, is to look at the over all effect on the server when implementing a particular feature.

In my opinion the impact from allowing boxing would far exceed the impact from allowing recharging. The server is better without boxing.

Now, that doesn't mean that the devs should allow item recharging. In fact, I happen to agree with the OP that item recharging has been abused in a way that far exceeds what it was on live. Maybe it should be removed...because it has an overall negative non-classic impact on the server, despite being a classic feature.

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.

I boxed during Kunark, had a good job & worked at home a lot. My guess is that prohibition has more to do with server resources than anything. Could be wrong.

Also, WIKIs no... alakazham YES!

Item recharging, and MQ'ing are exploits of an NPC inventory bug/oversight, get rid of.

If you want a classic experience, stop recharging and leave the rest of us alone. Dick.
