Account rules

[Kyosho]

When I read that boxing wasn't allowed here, that's the last thing I needed to finally start playing. A while back, I really enjoyed playing Shards of Dalaya, but they allowed 2boxing. And nearly everyone did/does it. Which meant, if I didn't do it, it severely limited the classes I could play. Also, if for some reason you needed a res or something, chances are the clerics would not respond, because they were "backup healing" for the person's other character. So they'd not even see tells, etc.

However, even though I've only been playing a couple days, I do sort of see some benefit of boxing. Mostly, getting an item, or money, from one character to another. The whole "trusting some one" thing is a bit hard when you don't know anyone yet. Yet I still prefer no boxing.

banning ppl for boxing, while i agree with it since it is the posted rules for the server, must be very very hard...it must be very difficult to tell decisively if someone is boxing, especially because the penalty is a perma-ban you must rlly have to be sure about it.

i've been in groups where i suspect boxing is going on, but i have no way of knowing for sure. i've never been in a grp where someone admitted to it...its always a "friend" who just has nothing to do and is willing to go afk at our camp to buff us, etc...

i wonder what percentage of the server is actually illegally boxing...or even what percent of the server has an ip exemption.

If the server population peaked at 103 I might agree with you, but it's healthy and steadily growing. The entire backbone of EQ rests in the dynamics/teamwork between players. Once you start allowing people to 2/3/4-box their way through the content you deprive the game of its very soul. There'd be no incentive to establish connections with anybody and we'd go right down the same path Live did.

mother fuckin, BAM!

If he's too stupid to use a proxy server when he says stuff like that he deserves a ban.

^^^ THAT!
Then it becomes damn EXPECTED you'll freaking box. Screw... that...

I did it on Live - a lot.

Then it was "can you box your cleric for this raid?" or "can you box so and so's chanter for this raid?" - "you don't mind Offtanking and healing your self with your cleric do you?"

Been there - done that. I want to play a CHARACTER in a MMORPG. I don't want to run a 'machine' to get gear.

It felt like I was at work, running patches on one server, while I update SNMP agents on another, while I'm copying data to another, while I'm finding out why this service won't start on another... *puke*

/salute Overcast. You're bringing it today.

To the OP - Shit or get off the pot IMO - report these players two-boxing and don't just make a thread saying " I don't want to tell, buuuuut...."

[B] I run a Tri PC setup here and I know each PC has a seperate IP and there not even close to each other.

While you may know what you're talking about here and really have 3 IPs - just want to point out that most people (and maybe you) with multiple PCs will have an internal IP for each computer, but the IP that counts is the one that your router/firewall/NAT box has - and to the outside world all your PCs will appear to have that IP.

I think anyone with an IP exemption should be publicly known.

What business is it of yours who is connected outside the game? Why should anyone be forced to publicly divulge that information (on the internet no less) to play a game?

All chars linked to the main account should be listed for the IP that requested the exemption. If it's a bannable offense and people are abusing it (hell I wouldn't mind two boxing while I solo instead of just soloing, but you just can't do that here), then the honest ones shouldn't be afraid to have their accounts and chars posted.

You sound like a bad cop - "If you are innocent you won't mind giving up your rights."

What business of yours is it which characters are connected to a single account?

If you have a baby, be careful when emptying the bath.

My wife and I plan on playing together, but so far no exemption. (hopefully this weekend) Someone asked how many accounts you could use seperately...we tried logging in together til we found out about the IP thing. But, if I log out so my toon is no longer active in world, she can log in. I'm hoping people won't think we're boxing, especially since we'll mostly duo...but I wouldn't care if people knew we were associated.
