There's a huge leap from "let's not jump on the report/ban button because a character is on /follow" to "everyone will be 6 boxing".

I accidentally stumbled on the P1999 reddit today and it reminded about this project (I loved classic EQ and played P1999 a few years ago). I was thinking it'd be cool to pick it again and see if I could convince my wife to play a tank/healer duo with me so I could show her what EQ was all about in the good old days (she's a great healer!). Jumping through hoops to get an IP exemption is understandable, but playing under the constant threat of being banned for no reason just makes this completely unappealing.

We play WoW together and the 2-seater mounts and /follow are a huge reason of why we managed to get any quests done. She has a horrible sense of direction / location and that is in a game where the night is as dark as a slightly cloudy day and that has maps, minimap and a million arrows and markers leading you to the next action you must perform.
