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.

Quote:

6. You may not have more than one client running per real life person playing on Project 1999 (Boxing).

There is no 'boxing' on Project 1999 servers. 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. Project 1999 has an IP block on its servers to prevent players from boxing. You may apply for an IP exemption if you have more than one person in your household wanting to play by following the instructions on this forum:

Petition forums. Be sure to read the announcement sticky prior to posting to ensure all required information is contained within your petition.

Violation of this rule will result in disciplinary action, and you may lose the account(s) involved.

The exception to this rule is having one client running for Project 1999 Red PvP as well as one for Project 1999 Blue. This is allowed.

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.

Is there any word yet on whether we can run a Green character and a Blue character at the same time?

No boxing is one of the reasons I keep coming back.
Every player character in the game is a person in real life.

Its honestly my pure drive to be here. Its not even the nostalgia anymore. I have more memories of classic everquest in blue now then my original rallos zek and sullon runs. I would even play live, but the fact that everyone plays multiple characters really, really, really, really, really irritates me. I hate boxing more then anything else in any game meant to be played as a single character. Playing in a team is so worthwhile for so many reasons.

Yes, you can have single characters on blue, red and green at the same time!

It was in the original announcement: Introducing Project 1999: Green

As usual with all Project 1999 servers, boxing will NOT be allowed. However, as is currently the case with Blue and Red, you may play one character per server at the same time.

it is often overlooked by the players but we appreciate the seriousness against boxing, it really is the reason we quit TLP servers and came here

+1

Also a big shout out to some of the obvious idiots who'll sell high elf guard weapons on a second account and things like that. Shit's obvious and it'll cost you both accounts, why do it? Play properly like the rest of us. In that example, bind at the Steamfont druid rings and run back, takes 2 minutes - invis bank around the wall in Felwithe... its easy <3

How many IP exemptions have been given out since P99 started, I wonder? I bet its almost five figures...there's only so many "brothers" out there :o

Imagine if power leveling was as frowned upon as boxing, could argue they both effect the overall experience in a negative way. I agree boxing is bad, but just think how different the environment would be with a anti-power leveling policy . The 4 mob bard limit will sure be a very positive thing off the start, not long before zones are monopolized by power leveling. I know this wont happen but just imagine, earning your levels seems to be the point of playing a 20 year old game.
