DO NOT EVER allow boxing! It will turn into another little anti-social game where everyone and their dog has their own porter, healer, tank, slower, whatever and just sits in the corner of a dungeon by themselves and farms all day. It's EXACTLY what has happened in EQLive with boxing and mercenaries, it's completely anti-social. If it wasn't for raiding, guilds would have no reason to exist on EQLive with the current state of the game.
I just found out about this server and I honestly think its very hard and that is what classic was. Just because you have to actively be social and ask for groups or try to make friends doesn't mean you need to box. It's how the game is/was/forever will be meant to be played.
This server is succeeding for a reason, its unique and the rules are enforced, almost to the point of being EQLive quality or better. Stand firm with your rules, they are perfect and really give people a reason to play here since "The Company" has seemed to have completely forgotten the idea of ever coming out with a Progression server. I think that idea is forever dead in the water and because of that people will be looking for alternatives.
