No beef with anything you said except this. Look, I boxed on live, as far back as Luclin. I had friends who physically (ie. using two computers next to each other at a cyber cafe) boxed even before that. I 100% agree that people boxed on live back in the day.

However, I also did this thing where you play and talk with other players in the game, like the ones in my guild, the ones in my pick-up groups, or just the ones I made friends with. If you did more than just box back in the day, and you actually interacted with other players, you too would know (like me) that most people didn't box.

Does this mean live had an anti-boxing policy or that no one boxed? No, like I just said I boxed. But I was in the minority, and again I know this because I talked to and played with other humans. If they were all boxing it would have been very apparent, but no back then a normal group was six characters AND six humans playing those characters.

If you like boxing, great. If you want to play on a server that allows boxing I would even go so far as to agree that there's real fun and skill in doing that, and I'd have nothing against you enjoying that server.

But let's not retroactively change history: the simple fact is that the majority of players on live played one character at a time until well after PoP. If you want a server that reminds you of your experience on live (up through PoP), it too has to ensure that the majority of the players single-box ... and the only way to have that and allow boxing is if you can be like SOE and charge for accounts.
