In 1999, with 0.01% of the players being able to afford/obtain multiple internet connections, multiple PCs and multiple accounts, I'd say it would be much more of an issue here. Some of that is speculation, but the percentage of players that had this setup prior to Luclin is negligible.

Cable and DSL / routers were available in 1999 or shortly thereafter, and given the minimal system requirements that classic EQ ran on, I'd suggest that many people could do so. I was a poor college student and I had a pair of EQ-worthy machines and was boxing by early 2001.
Given, the number of people able to do so has certainly been inflated; but the number of people willing to play one account for free vs two for monthly donations would likely balance that.
