Which as I said, respectfully sir, is your subjective opinion.
It's not just his opinion, its a fact that there was only a small minority boxing on live. The main difference is, accounts are free on p99 AND everyone has a computer capable of running multiple accs at one time, and thats why the majority would 2 box if it was allowed. Which would destroy the classic feeling for the most part. Imagine every single decent place overcamped all the time.

lol +1

Whatever though, I'm not arguing the point because I think I'll win and magically make p99 staff allow boxing; i'm just defending boxing in that it would NOT be the cause of a lost "classic" feeling.

If you don't like boxing, don't play with boxers. If classic for YOU meant playing one account at a time, more power to you. If classic for you meant having your box cleric around so you could solo some camps in lower guk, more power to you and QQ ka-choo to those who couldn't lol.

I therefor assert and remind everyone that classic is defined by content (and apparently now client), and not play style.

This will be my last retort on the issue so feel free to flame me without fear of schoolage.

Boxing hasn't been necessary for most of the server's lifespan. We tried to argue in favor for it before launch when a population above 100 was almost unthinkable, but it was refused back then because the decisionmakers felt it would be againt the classic spirit. Once it became clear that there were enough players to sustain a healthy gameplay environment without boxing, most stopped arguing for it. Now it's slowly starting to look like it would be a benefit for anyone leveling between 20 and 50, but it's only because this server has developed some weird anti-social atmosphere where almost everyone just solos, so while it might be logical to combat the mid-level group drought with boxing, I'm afraid the result would just be that everyone would take the opportunity to become self-sufficient and play the game in single-player mode. All it would take to make boxing obsolete is for the 200 necros and magicians to play with other people instead, but that's a lost cause.

If you can't see why boxing on a server w/ free accounts would be detrimental... sigh
