Boxing Rules

[yaaaflow]

Voted no boxing because I don't want to 2 box so none of you should be able to either!

When this server started, people griped about not being able to box, but I saw the vision of this server and fully agreed with the decision. It is the right decision hands down.

It promotes grouping, it slows down the progress of everyone, it keeps the economy in better condition, it increases the difficulty of the game, it makes for a better server.

Right now I'm in ct, camping aof with a shaman that just happened to be here because I can't do it alone. Do you think I'd let him share a roll with me if boxing were an option? Not allowing boxes is one of the reasons this server has become popular, and I'm annoyed that it would even be polled, it makes me wonder if it was actually a consideration, which I really hope it wasn't.

I voted no boxing. It will ruin the immersion. Plain and simple.
I'm a Druid too. I could have soloed last night but instead I got a tell
from a Mage named August and we spent like 6 hours in Najena and Befallen. We died quite a few times and almost lost our bodies but it was fun as hell farting around in these dungeons together

ps - thanks Broot. I hope you got your jboots

Make some friends, then you'll have people to group with daily. It doesn't always have to be random.

No boxing. Not ever.

No..then this server would be no different than the other ones. EQ is hard and should be hard. Boxing will mess everything up. People will make chars like monk/shaman and then level up never grouping with anyone and then go camp and get what ever they wont.. the economy and the community will crash .. :-/

DO NOT EVER allow boxing! It will turn into another little anti-social game where everyone and their dog has their own porter, healer, tank, slower, whatever and just sits in the corner of a dungeon by themselves and farms all day. It's EXACTLY what has happened in EQLive with boxing and mercenaries, it's completely anti-social. If it wasn't for raiding, guilds would have no reason to exist on EQLive with the current state of the game.

I just found out about this server and I honestly think its very hard and that is what classic was. Just because you have to actively be social and ask for groups or try to make friends doesn't mean you need to box. It's how the game is/was/forever will be meant to be played.

This server is succeeding for a reason, its unique and the rules are enforced, almost to the point of being EQLive quality or better. Stand firm with your rules, they are perfect and really give people a reason to play here since "The Company" has seemed to have completely forgotten the idea of ever coming out with a Progression server. I think that idea is forever dead in the water and because of that people will be looking for alternatives.

[Myth]

I would like to add that the cons of boxing far outweigh the pros. The only reason anyone would support multi boxing is for the benefit of themselves and to the detriment of the community, which is very selfish.

If any pro-boxer has a valid argument that differs from my opinion please speak up but I think you will have a very hard time arguing your point if it can be met with the response of "that's selfish".

Many people already 2 box on this server. It is pretty obvious when you are grouping with someone doing so. Seems a lot of people with an "IP Exemption" sure do seem to have very quiet/mentally slow "wife's" or "younger brothers". I say we gather up all current illegal dual boxers and drown em in some lava.

I was about to ask, what about those ALREADY boxing ? I came across a few, some got reported and are still playing.

How is multi-boxing handled actually ?
