No, it made it made it to easy ,I'm so glad it isn't here.
I notice you are coming to play with a partner, an ip exemption doesn't mean you can use both accounts by yourself at anytime.
That would be two-boxing and result in a perma-ban.
I decided to mention it because you sound pretty new in general to Project1999 as a whole and might not take it too seriously.

I won't 2 box on the server as I respect the mission and the rules.

I two-boxed a warrior and cleric (both reached lvl 65- quit after playing the Luclin release for awhile). I had two computers, and it was pretty easy. I simply hot key the heals and buffs for my cleric. I even led raids with my MT, and had my cleric in the heal rotation lol (with no Vent). I enjoyed the challenge more than the perceived benefits. Groups would be amazed at my tanking and healing exploits. If I ever felt I couldn't keep up in a group, I'd simply be up-front and say they should get another cleric.

You'd be guessing right. 2-box earns a permanent ban...and they are very good at catching people that do it.

I just have a hard time fully supporting this rule. While I have not broken it... I am older now with a career and a family and I dont have to time to jump into groups and level constantly... It'd be nice for people to have to ability to dual box.. I remember my brother and I both had dual accounts and boxed in classic and kunark days. While I respect the rules, I do not have to agree with them. Thanks to our administrators who keep the server up and running and for all their hard work. I also understand their wanton needs to keep the game as real / close to as it was originally but due to the low population (and dont tell me 500 people isn't low), its difficult to say the least to experience anything CLOSE to what EQ was really like.

Cheers.

Dekrastius, I appreciate your argument. Let me give you a differing view. My first character on live was a warrior. It can be quite frustrating to be LFG as an untwinked, poorly geared warrior. One of the core ways to start a group was to find a cleric who was LFG.

I remember finding a warrior cleric duo who were xping. I asked them if I could join. The cleric didn't say anything, and the warrior said he was fine, thanks. I realized that this was a single individual who was boxing.

By boxing, this person effectively removed himself from the pool of available group mates. If he had been a cleric unable to box, then that would have been someone I could have grouped with.

On live, this problem was somewhat mitigated by the fact that it was expensive to box. You had to pay 2x the subscription fee, so not everyone did it. But on an emu, accounts are free. I checked in some of the other emu servers, and I could *never* find a group. Why? Because everyone was boxing! Boxing completely destroys the grouping aspect of EQ when it is done on a large scale.

So I would make the argument that it's especially important to keep boxing banned. And this is honestly the only reason I started playing on this server in the first place. I never would have made a character on a server where boxing was allowed, because I'm interested in playing EQ *with* other people, not being surrounded by boxers.
