Why not create an additional server that is boxing friendly?

Thanks for making this suggestion for the, who really knows, millionth time. The first nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine times lead us to believe that it would just take one more push for boxing and it would happen...

Yes, it's certainly on Rogean and Nilbog's priority list now.

I am not suggesting to allow boxing on the original server, I am suggesting to create a new clone that allows it. So far I do not see such suggestion on the board.

If the developers and admins cannot be bothered with the cost and effort for a new server in the beginning, regardless of any financial supporting from 'pro-boxing' crowd, then I have no say. But if it is something that doesn't bother them much and something they can consider about, then I don't see why the idea has to be resisted? If the new server only needs to get updated and rebooted the same way/time as the original server, I don't see much extra effort needed. Plus the players are playing with the knowledge that others will also box as well, so the queries will not be exponential.

As for cannibalizing the population of the original server, I feel that there will be far more new players joining who were originally put off by the idea of 'no boxing allowed' rule, than people on the original server migrating to the new server.

Plus, if the players who were forced to play 'one toon at a time' rule and see the opportunity to migrate to something that they enjoy more, why not let them? And if the experience turn out to be not what they wanted, they can always go back to the original server with their original characters. It's not like I am requesting for a character transfer as well.
