View Full Version : Idea: allow 2 boxing except each character CANNOT be in the same zone!
Idea: allow 2 boxing except each character / account CANNOT be in the same zone! It would be great to level up 2 characters simultaneously. Insta-bans for anyone caught playing the 2 characters in the same zone, no exceptions.
You could have one character in Charasis and the other grinding in OOT.
It would be nice if this could be considered / implemented and if it doesn't work, discontinue it.

98% of those second boxes would just be mules sitting in EC trying to flip items.

Half the people on the server can barely even play 1 char, let alone 2...

Good luck ever finding a cash camp open :) Especially places like guk where you can kill a couple of mobs then afk that character for half an hour.

IP exemption:
4 chars in 4 different zones : 'yeah it was my brother playing those two I swear'
Would not work.

This is why fans/players don't get a voice in any admin made decisions. 98% of the time they haven't fully thought through what they're thinking, or just want to use the idea for their own benefit.
The TMO reference was a good one. Could definitely raid something while poopsocking another mob.
(Dirtnap stop fapping to this thread)
How about thinking outside the box. If we are worried about multiple raids then limit 1 of the 2 characters to level 55 or below.

What happens if the 2nd character "accidentally" zones in? Anything less than automatic deletion of lower level character and I don't like it :p

How about not trying to make more work for the guys who are running this server and making it free for your benefit? Don't they do enough as it is?

Exactly! So much bitching on these forums about a free server.

The fact that anyone could play two characters at the same time, with a reasonable level of efficiency, tells you how obsolete EQ's combat system is to begin with.

I'll tell you what any member of the staff will say about any proposed idea that involves allowing people to 2 box no matter the restrictions put on it.
"NO"

Tells me how stupid every new mmo is.
Why do you NEED to have 60 APM games minimum, be button mashing fully keybound with $90 mouse to be viable in a game?
In EQ I can do my job, AND have a conversation about booze/cars/women/music/planes with people and maybe lose 1-2% efficiency. I can also AFK on almost any class at any point and it doesnt screw everyone else over.
Fuck off back to wow dude. You totally miss the point of EQ, and what makes it great.

Yeah two boxing was one of the main things that ruined live EQ, as well as 3rd party programs and RMT. Fuck Twoboxing, go play ez server.
I'm not recommending traditional 2 boxing. I am talking about 2 independent characters that will never meet in game. Have an open mind and stop with the knee jerk reactions.

So you're suggesting friends and family members should no longer be able to play together from the same house so that you can farm multiple zones at the same time? I want what you're smoking!
No, the current IP exemption would not change.

Guys - listen.
Seriously, guys.
Listen.
Just listen.
I have an id.. LISTEN.. I have an idea.
I know how to fix every problem that Everquest has. It's simple. We just need to change everything about the entire game. Then none of the problems will exist anymore!
Also, it shouldn't take more than like a week to completely re-write the code. I know because I made a batch file once and it was easy.

I don't see my suggestion as "fixing a problem". It's more like a feature request.

To the OP:
You want boxing? How about Stone Cold boxes two of himself, comes to your camp, and gives you double of this??
(FLIPS THE OP THE DOUBLE MIDDLE FINGER RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS FACE)
AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE, CAUSE STONE COLD SAID SO!!!
