I understand both the arguments for and against 2-boxing, but the truth is the development staff has answered this question multiple times with a firm "No".

I think the firm "No" came more from the community than the devs/admins.

You might try playing a more solo-friendly class?

Mage, Necro, Druid, Wizzard are the best bets.

Or if you are adventurous try Shaman, Bard, Enchanter

For those of you who missed the beta forums.. this is like resurrecting a dead horse, to kill it, then beat it some more.

The original arguments for boxing additional clients were wrought with bias, conjecture, and future-prediction.. on both sides.

I'll reiterate myself once more, though:

Summary: Boxing will not be allowed until there is a need. The need will be determined by such things as .. a declining population growth, the inability to complete encounters, and a general consensus that it is needed. None of those things are present here, so this is not an issue. I am very happy with my decision.



In defense of.. what I consider a good community of people, the well-written opinions were mostly sent to me via private messages. I don't blame them for not wanting to join the flame arena.



Server hardware + connection would handle around 1000 clients at the moment.. and I hope not a single slot ever gets filled with a boxed character.

Fair enough, but Rogean did ressurrect the topic it 3 months after that post to ask the community's opinion.

Well thanks for the input everyone, at least I know where it stands for sure. Maybe I will try again soon if the population is rising that much.
Maybe play a more solo friendly class is an option -- don't even have to go with the druid/necro/mage triumvirate. Try a shaman, try and enchanter -- hell, even a bard [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah I know there are some options.. it's just the fact that I am being told to play a solo class shows there is a problem.

But anyway not trying to argue back and forth, just wanted some straight responses.. Maybe I will try a better soloing class and see how things go with finding people during my time!

Things were much easier when I was in CST!

Well I can see his point as being in central timezone sometimes I play till all hours of the morning and I see the population drop off after midnight, but its just something that has been pretty much a consensus of the majority here, to not have.

I don't really care for 2 boxing, though it makes item transfers somewhat exciting, and hazardous, but I can deal with that. I do think the Ten Ton Hammer review will bring more people, unfortunately, it also brings those stupid DDoS fucks too, who for no valid reason wanna ruin everyone's day by fucking with the server, but hopefully there will be a way to deal with them one day. You have to admit though, for bein' a no boxing server I think its doin' quite well, just my opinion though.

What he said, execpt for the word unfortunately.

I am against two boxing. Regardless of what some people may think, it does harm the community.
I'm not a proponent either way, but I'd like to hear how it hurts the community.
