This seems like the perfect time to put in your resume for DBG, show them how to run a server! This was your plan all along, wasn't it? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

...Its just live EQ with some quests stripped out and content removed.

And that is what baffles me about people wanting to play it. The basic concept is messed up. It's like saying, hey, we fixed you up with a date with the hottest girl from your high school days, except now she's 70 and in the advanced stages of dementia! Hubba hubba!

Unless of course, one actually enjoys those mechanics, and wants to box, and wants to MQ, wants lots of nerfs, wants exp potions, wants quadruple exp weekends when server pop droops, etc.

I think it boils down to boxing. From what I have read here and on other forums, I wonder if the only reason people are playing Ragefire is because there is a substantial # of people who like boxing. That's the draw.

I'm not judging, people play diff, but if p99 ever allowed boxing, or shared banking, or put in universal channels -- all these things this team took care to strip out -- I would have my eyes peeled for another emulator. So thanks to our top eq-nauts for creating this space. You are always welcome at my RL house.

You do know boxing IS classic right? People seem to think just because they weren't aware of it, it didn't happen in classic. It became mainstream from Velious onward but it was around since day 1.

I know, although it was not common in a competitive environment simply because the player had to be able to vouch their connection was solid enough they could keep more than one box going without fail.

The tech limits of the day made boxing a second and third resort for competitive play, as a general rule, even though of course I remember my guild leader boxing his cleric and his brother's retired enchanter during raids *if* we needed the extra enchanter.

As the 2000's progressed, boxing became more trivial to do. But it was not something you liked to hear -- Hey I am boxing this other char -- during the first couple years of eq. 95% of people's setips and connections were not reliable enough for it. And *that* is classic.

But it is just a matter of taste, and to each their own. But to suggest that boxing was common in classic is just not true. I had 2 boxes -- ie, two computers -- but the lag and random bullshit that just made it a hassle kept me from playing them unless I was just doing something casual. And that was the norm. Boxing was a hassle and a second-resort for raiding in classic.

Damn they still failing!
Ran test #1 and was still full geared level 1s being created, ran another test and people was starting with no food/water or starting weapon.
