Ehh I was running 4 pc's by 2001 anyway so.. lol.
If anything the lack of boxing is what makes this server less classic. I honestly wish someone would rip off p99's code and release it publicly. I'd love to see an exactly copy that allowed boxing, I might still play if that existed. I just have too much going on in my life to wait around with thumb up my ass LFGroup/LFPort/LFCleric/LF whatever for hours. No boxing actually just ends up making the game rather boring at times, and forces you to waste time afk waiting on stuff to do. I mean hell the only reason to level a druid is to PL 1-40 and port. Generally just ended up pl'ing afk friends then we'd swap and they'd pl me in return while I went out. Lack of boxing if anything makes the game less social, not more so. If we could actually play together with an out of group alt buffing, or log a cleric alt, all my friends wouldn't have quit from boredom waiting on those 1 or 2 extra people to round out the group. Lack of boxing just means 1-50 is spent afk getting a PL. Only to hit 50+ and spend hours trying to fill 2-3 slots in Karnor's/Seb and generally getting sick of it without ever having really played.
The other truth is about 1/2 the player base are boxed characters anyway. The trick is simply to never play them at the same location. Hell as long as a caster is sitting it's pretty much assumed he is doing his job. Why do you think people take so long to respond to tells? Lol. No one is going to admit to it... but a hell of a lot of them run 2-4. I'm not just blowing smoke either, you'd be amazed how many people openly admit stuff in voice chat that won't on boards/in game due to banning fears.
