Would this ever be considered? even blue had 2 boxing until the population was over 500.. i would like this for red99 also

Tons of new people on the server all being forced to roll casters after they try to get their rogue/war/monk to lvl 5.

GMs wouldnt have to check for people 2 boxing and it really would inspire more people to play if they could 2box and lvl when they wanted.

After the population is over 500 or so then take it away

I don't think the blue server ever allowed 2-boxing.

You know, I used to be against boxing but since I'm not forced to box... I think this would benefit a lot of people. High & Low.

I think the only way i would condone 2boxing is if there was some way to make it non-raid zones or something of that nature. 2boxing in pvp is one of the things that made it so hard for me to ever get into vztz.
Although it would be great to be able to lvl faster that also poses the problem of people just lvling the flavor of the week, and the strong guild getting stronger as they have plenty of gear to toss around.
I suppose there are always pros and cons, i just kinda feel the cons outweigh anything good that could come from it. Moreso on a pvp server.

and since this is a classic project, we should theoretically be able to pay for another copy to box with

boxing back in 99 was uncommon though since you had to have some technical flair to get your boxes running on one comp to beat the forced fullscreen.
Some of the more serious neckbeards ran it on seperate computers though.

Still, it wasnt until a few years into EQ that everyone and their dog ran several boxes. Which, if they allow it here, is what will happen.

No, keep the banhammer on those who 2-box imho.

Allow it for characters under level 45 imo...

It's a good idea it allows for several small crews which is healthy for box life. Smaller crews are able to do seb chardok howling stone etc.

Yeah! You guys should allow 2boxing, and then allow ISboxer so you can script a whole group to do everything you need while you control one character! Maybe you guys should stop griefing each other so population can rise.

Less people'd quit with 2boxing. Especially if you then give amnesty to all the people caught doing it (0 in Holo to my knowledge).

But I'm against it.

boxed buffers are easy snipes for pvpers

more pvp , more buffs , more exp = more people

just allow it who gives a shit?

Nordahl is Nilly now. his name was scratched off the holo ledger.

How about every fight you get into the target has full cleric buffs? Sounds pretty great to me? Wait no it doesn't.

Being able to 2box certain camps and the people who wouldn't leave them or invite guildies sounds like another great way to rip a chunk out of the Nihilum pixel machine.

Let's not forget the crying about people who didn't group others for xp when the expac came out. Called that one too btw.

all the nilly pks and azrael pks get buffed before they go out to roll

how is this new?

Tomatoking
01-15-2013, 01:40 PM
and being able to camp stuff alone = great , only problem is your buff but gonna get rolled

sorry dude im pro boxing forever and server needs it.

Every1 already full buffed + every1 walks around with 10000 golem wands nowadays, can't remember the last 1v1 where I wasn't full wanted within three seconds. Also wouldn't be crying about not being grouped if you could box and hence play a solo class and PL your gimp melee with. For someone who argues for classic according to the meaning of "exactly to the dot the way it was then" I'd think you would embrace this classic feature, but yet you are disagreeing on level playing field grounds but yet argue against a T-Staff nerf? My brain is spinning!

Nirgon

I can look at some kill shots and show you people aren't always full buffed. Those same kill shots tell you everyone doesn't have thousands of golem wands (see if you're a good detective and can figure this one out). So you can go ahead and siddown young HB.

I'd be for 2boxing if it was the old client, have fun with that btw.

Having 2 monitors + 2 windowed EQs is, oh I dunno, a little different.

I'm for the t-staff and against dual wurmslayers. Hate me, hate me my friend.

Ya I recall the wurmslayer being piercing for a while but not if it was rogue usable or not.

here is proof it was a piercer...

being rogue usable might of been hot fixed pretty quickly.. i remember seeing it and being shocked myself..

Vile

Can't find anything about it being rogue usable... I really remember rogues being able to use it, even if was for a couple of days.. it must've been hot fixed...
