Why not create an additional server that is boxing friendly?

[jeremy0818]

You have a majority of people who are strictly against boxing for valid reasons, it is the server rule, and it is probably something that will never be changed on the original server.

But why not create another pve/pvp server that is 2 or 3 boxing friendly? You do have a relatively high number of people who are unhappy on the forum that boxing is not allowed on the server. It would probably require a lot less man power to regulate (probably just need 1/5 of the GMs only for the purpose of mainly exploits of bugs and other 'illegal' activities) The server could definitely serve as an experimental tool, watching the economy, playing pattern, population, and perhaps to decline (if what everyone claiming that boxing ruined everquest was true)

I tried searching for this topic but without avail, most of the 'boxing' topic was some sort of plea to allow boxing for certain reasons or on pvp servers.

HOW ABOUT 100 DIFFERENT SERVERS THEN EVERYONE CAN PICK THE ONE THEY LIKE?

I want a server where every NPC is named after something edible

guys a relatively high number of players want this so c'mon

[sulpher01]

Can we make one where everyone gets access to cshome too? I've always wanted to wear some GM gear...

Is it really so hard to be social enough so people will actually play with you? It's not as if finding groups is terribly difficult.

Perhaps if you can provide the hosting costs $$$

Hehehe I didn't want to be the one to post this. Thank you Tecmos.

Step 1) Search "y i can not haz my on survir 4 boxin"
Step 2) Read comments, specifically about volunteer staff, hardware, implementation, rule set etc...
Step 3) Put index finger in your mouth and make "pop" noise.
Step 4) Turn off computer and sit in the snow/grass. Think about ways to successfully adapt to current "problem server".

You're welcome.

This thread is now ready for RnF. Have at em' guys!!

It's not so much that it's hard. But there are certain people I don't have any interest in interacting with.

I'd play on a box server for sure. Boxing adds a definite challenge and speeds up the pace of the game.

But the reason they wouldn't implement this is because they don't want to fragment the player base --- though they made R99; fortunately most people know how terrible EQ PvP is and 90% stayed on blue.

So it is moot unless you hacked P99s code copied it and hosted your own server.
