Why all the Vitriol towards Multi-boxing?

Having infinite free accounts is probably the least classic thing we have here. It affects so many aspects of the game. Imagine you have 8 char slots and none of those 8 chars can be played at the same time as another on the account. Choose your alts carefully. No more "hey bro can you sit afk on my alt so i can PL it" cheese. In the raid scene it is InfrastructureQuest with all the mules and bots spread across countless accounts and designed to be shared. None of that shit is classic.

P99 should also delete the wiki, remove mouse wheel scroll, change the client to be correct and eliminate being able to hot key open/close all bags with one button.

boxing is awesome I like to get a vpn and run 2 pcs and train people with a box account while I try to help them with my main account but really my main is setting them up to get greifed over and over no matter how hard they try to escape.

A topsy turvy cosmopolitan to melt the profane

If your point is that there simply is no feasible way to prevent some things on p99, I agree.

But if they *could* prevent infinite account sharing, like they already largely do prevent boxing, that would be great for the project.

DKP FOR LEVELING UP MINDLESS CLERIC BOT #42 TO PARK AT A SPECIFIC CAMP IN A SPECIFIC ZONE is lame as hell

As a cleric, I very much agree about having shared account rez bots and stuff. Definitely a bummer and not in the nature of the game but I'm not really advocating for cracking down on it, tho it might help some other non classic stuff like people permacamping single mobs with 1 character.

Regarding the OP's multiboxing inquiry - it is against the rules of the server so people that choose to accept the rules naturally resent people that shirk the rules and experience the massive advantage of having a self contained group in a duo.

I love when people come to p99 and go "ya know, people LIKE all the stuff that almost everyone is here to avoid!".

You mean I could play WoW instead?? I had no idea. It's almost like I don't want to for a very specific reason.

Also lol at the idea that playing 6 characters at once is somehow less sad than simply enjoying a group of real people.

lol exactly.

Like the people advocating for luclin. Omg please every single other server has the impacts of luclin right on its nuts and is available to play.

boxing is as classic as everquest gets, in 2001 i was boxing 2-8 accounts at any given time. back in that time, there was no MQ2, it was all alt-tab and my lightning reflexes.

Just saying alt tabbing 6 instances of eq on one machine doesn’t gel with what i remember for 2001

..boxing 2-8 acc in era when you couldn't tab out or run in a window. This is as funny as the people who said they ran Roger Wilco in era despite the fact that EQ had a code loop that used up your single core processor. This was brought up awhile back when people tried to troll-justify Discord being classic.

Over a phone line or college T1..

I WOULD be willing to play a luclin and Kat only server, just because I never spent enough time in luclin except pharming those zero delay throwing items and getting the +5% fletching item for my ranger.

Honestly, EQ is so big, I could really get in to some novelty 'limited content servers'.

I'd love a halas/everfrost/permafrost only server (maybe throw in blackburrow too). Just a bunch of barbies running around the tundra - I wonder if they could ever beat vox in the end?!

(subtext was I agree a luclin / kat only server would be wicked too)

[Ooloo]

Yeah I've always thought some kind of repackaging of the vanilla content could make for a cool server. Like a server where it just starts at kunark, and good races all start in FV and evil races all start in OT or in Cab for iksars, and we just pretend the game began at kunark. How would that go down? Newbies in FV even getting to level appropriate mobs would be a challenge, but doable.
