NOT 2 characters logged into the game, just at server or character select screen.

No you are not allowed to do this, it is specifically mentioned in the boxing rules.
"Boxing is defined as having more than one client running from a single computer, or having more than one client running per person in the same household on different computers."
Another GM has specifically mentioned that they can see when your toon is just at char select and that is not allowed.

So someone accidentally over-clicking their launch icon is boxing? Seems pretty crazy I'd imagine everyone has done that before.

[B] just at server or character select screen.
You're connected to the server you picked at server select.
The staff can see if you do this.
No it's not allowed.
---
1. Login info sends request to eqemu
2. server select you're connected to eqemu
3. when you select a server you connect to it
So you can have as many clients open as you want at login or server select. Just don't connect to the same p99 server more than once.

Alrighty folks, with Green arriving soon I wanted to go over boxing. We take this rule extremely seriously and heavily enforce it.
What is boxing exactly? Well, Llandris has it clearly defined in the PNP rules post (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=325349).
With that I'll reiterate, the one account per person ratio must be maintained at all times while playing on any of our servers, no exception. This doesn't mean you can't own multiple accounts, this just means you can't use them at the same time on the same server.
We get a disgustingly large amount of folks caught boxing saying things like;
It was only for a second!
I was only transferring an item!
I was only porting myself!
This is still boxing.
Other actions that are heavily frowned upon that we will start to enforce are /quitting to quickly switch accounts or letting a second account sit in character select... yes we can see this.
So, in the future if we see this kind of behavior one of the following may happen.
A warning and a mark on your accounts.
IP Exemptions removed.
Boxing 30 day suspension.
Boxing Ban.
Also, remember that at any point in time while playing on our servers, you may be approached by a staff member for a boxing check. Do not camp out or go LD. The faster you comply with instructions, the faster we can let you return to the game if found innocent. All players are expected to be capable of communicating in English and have basic movement skills.
Double clicking the launch icon will not take you into char selection. You have to put the passwords in first.
it's still having 2 clients running.

I don't understand why you think this is a problem?
You're not connected to p99 if you're sitting at login or server select
But beware if you have a 2nd account sitting at server select and you try to log it in too quickly it could be problematic for you.
always camp out, never /q when swapping accounts.

Doesn't it not let you log in if you're running on the same IP? Like it won't let you get to/past the character select screen IIRC.

Yes, I've done the /q out of one account and tried to log in another before and gotten a message that my other account was still logged in, so I was prevented from logging in until the first character was finally poofed.
Obviously there are sneeky ways around that, but they do make it next to impossible to "accidently" have two accounts logged in at the same time. Nobody gets banned or suspended for doing it on accident.
Recent GM post about this (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=336848).

You're allowed to be on blue and red and soon green at the same time so obviously you can have more than one client open.
The server select screen is the barrier not to cross.

Well, yes and no. If you do connect two clients you get a warning pop-up that says something to the effect of "you have been temporarily banned because of same ip or some shit" and that lasts like 15 minutes or something. I found that out when trying to save some names last Friday and forgot I wasn't on Green beta anymore where boxing is allowed and I tried to connect one account because the other was already full of characters and I got that warning.

Hey look, another post complaining about the boxing rules. The one thing that puts P99 head and shoulders above alternatives. How cliche'.
Is "But I just want to transfer money" next?
This is so not complicated and over-asked. It’s simple, once you go past server select you are logged in- those are the clients (per server) that they are counting. If that count is more than 1, you are boxing.
If you accidentally (whatever that would mean here) have a second toon at character select and you’re not doing stupid shit like quick logging for an unfair advantage, I don’t think they’re going to take serious/permanent action. If you do it all the time, or are obviously gaining an unfair advantage I bet you’ll hear from server staff sooner or later, and then we’ll see you on here whining about how unfair it is. And we will laugh.

You can have more then 1 client running at the same time, just not more then 1 at character select screen for the same server, if you werent allowed more then 1 client to be running then you wouldnt be able to play on green and blue at the same time, which the DEV have already said you can do, so you can be playing a character and have another client loaded up on server selection but not on character selection for the same server.
