This server is very amazing and yet very disappointing at the same time

It will if you're class has an EXP penalty. I doubt my pally will make it to higher levels before Velious, but I'll thank Tunare the day he's no longer artificially nerfed 40%.

I got a masochist's pride in live being L54 and having primarily soloed my paladin. Ugh. I won't do that again.

Now I've primarily duo'ed my paladin to L51!

Here's a crazy idea. Make an enchanter or cleric. They can both solo and get groups when they are available. Complaining about not being able to solo efficiently as something like a rogue or ranger is crazy son.

Semi off-topic, but a valid tangent since it has been brought up before, if you will indulge me:
I have transferred with complete strangers on a couple occasions, and although I would not attempt it with 1k plat, I have not been burned once. In any other game, it would be the height of naivete to attempt this. This community is remarkable and forcing us to rely on each other for transfers has surprisingly helped the sense of community. I am sure people have their horror stories, but as long as you stay away from the guy named "Igankedulol" for your transfers, you should be OK for low ticket items.
That being said, shared banks would be nice, but I am not going to campaign for it.

I was surprised when a stranger asked me to transfer 100k for him. I was blown away at how trusting the guy/gal was.

I don't understand why people keep money in an actual bank. Make a lvl 1 mule and horde all your money there...If you and your friends all have a lvl 1 mule in EC, transferring takes <30 seconds, herpederp.

this guy prob never played eq1 in its hay day =/ sadface

To the OP...

-I prefer soloing too. I find grouping to be much more anti-social *in general* than soloing, but it depends on the player more on whether they are grouped or not.

What exactly do you mean by this, that you enjoy grouping less, or that everyone in P1999 is a tool?

you keep saying solo and by yourself. This is an MMO the whole point is for you to have to interact with other people. If boxing was allowed, all the hermits would horde camps to themselves and the current anti social behaviors of other MMO's would start lurking in our world. NO thanks..

Yes... since some people don't already horde camps to themselves and camp the same thing solo, or duo or trio over and over and over.

The current anti social behaviors already are here whether you like it or not. People don't play this game to socialize, and if they did then groups of druid, ranger, paladin, bard, troll shaman and troll sk would exist. People only want to interact with others so long as it doesn't impede their progression (via unoptimal classes for group or hybrid/race penalties). Even then, most groups I see here are guild groups, atleast post level 30-40ish. Very rarely do I see PuGs of 50-60s forming.

Cool you interact with the same 30-40 guildmates... not much different than boxer guilds just they do the same stuff with only 15-20 people controlling 30-40 toons.


The server is a group of cliques, merely a larger selection of anti-social behavior imo.

I found it really interesting that a lot of replies in this thread started off pretty much like " It's classic, if you don't like it, go somewhere else ". I couldn't help but laugh when I read those, since I did in fact box in classic, and it was not against the rules. So can we stop with the whole " 2-boxing isn't classic " garbage? There are pro's and con's to it, some want to 2-box, a lot of people seem to despise it, but that doesn't change the fact that it was not against the rules on live.

Now since it IS against the rules on this server, obviously don't do it (or face the consequences WHEN you get caught).

this is the most important reason 2box isnt allowed. If it was every single drop/pp/quest camp literally 24 hours a day would be locked down and gms would be spending all there time trying to hammer out who gets what.

To OP really your doing it long if its taking that long to lvl up that low.
Either:
a. group with people (wtf are you doing here if not that)
b. go to ec and enjoy the usually free buffs provided by our awesome communities druids/shams/ench
c. go to one of the sooooo many other emu servers and 2box all you want

My Responses(for what they are worth):
a. Plenty of times I can't find a group/partner on peak times, let alone on off hours. It's amazing how people say " go get a group ", when a lot of times you just can't. I have made plenty of groups, but just as often if I don't have a tank and healer, the group falls apart.
b. As a person with a highlvl main who spends a decent amount of time around commons, I have come to loathe getting tells every 10 seconds for buffs. I still dish them out quite often, but because I have been on that end, I try to stay away from that.
c. So if someone puts forth a question asking why this can't be done, your response is "go to another server". Great way to build the population.
