Would boxing drive you away?

An interesting idea I had for a boxing server would be to assign a daily time limit.

I saw a complaint once like "ah I got banned for doing a transfer! I didn't affect gameplay at all GRR".. But the thing is with all these people you can't leave any gray area or it will be exploited. It's yay or nay.

Voted no thanks, I'd play somewhere else, but it's not true because this is the only version of EQ that interests me. So really, boxing would ruin the last bastion of playable EQ, at least for me. Not to hold the OP responsible for the millions of like minded threads/polls in the past, but can we move past the boxing issue? There are other servers out there that do allow boxing, and the powers that be on P99 - as well as the majority of the player community - have spoken out against boxing every single time.

It would destroy grouping just like it did on live. Boxing starts out innocently. I will only box when I can't find a group. You start boxing a tank and healer. You start a group and after a while of grinding a tank or healer comes into the zone lfg but you don't want to drop a box because you feel you play better then a random tank or healer. After that it just

Yeah they do, but if theres a rule theres a chance to ban if someone boxes. And hey on live i was all in for boxing myself, but here feels like it kills the classic.

Meh. On a server with this population it wouldn't be great. On a new server with the same code set though, it would be great.

Even if they just allowed 2 boxing in North Freeporr so you could transfer yourself or have a mule, that would be fantastic. Would make a lot of things less tedious.

Having a porter or rezzer able to be boxed for just 1 minute to save you 30 minutes trying to find someone else to waste their time assisting you, would also be grand.

Well my idea would be programmed into the server itself. Once the time ran out, you wouldn't be able to login on those accounts until your time bank was refreshed. Also, like I said it was just an idea for a server, nothing i'd want implemented here.

After reading your response, it's clear you didn't read the entirety of the idea before dismissing it anyway.

Sure I did.. What I am saying is.. If you allow legal two-boxing here, how much harder will it be to catch the illegal two-boxing over here.

Good point, but it's still an interesting server idea.

Primary reason I'm here is the boxing rule, not classic nostalgia.

If boxing was allowed here I would pack up and leave and make a nasty passive aggressive post informing the staff how I feel

Boxing sucks
