Where is your proof to this statement?

The proof is is the pudding, so to speak. P99 is THE most successful EQEMU server, ever. PEQ's population always hovers in the 300's it seems - at peak - and that population includes all the boxed accounts. And there's nothing really wrong with PEQ...except for the ability to attract new players...and I think boxing has a LOT to do with that.

I've also said once boxing is allowed, it becomes required in order to compete. MOTD: Bring your boxed "whatever" to the next raid, because we have more important things to worry about with the availability our live players.

This becomes even more true through Kunark and Velious, with the increased difficulty of encounters.

All in all, if it ain't broke...why fix it? The population continues to grow, we are nearing 1000+ at peak. I remember the days we were hollering at each other every time it broke 200. Which really wasn't all that long ago...six or seven months, maybe. When Kunark releases, I'll bet we more than double our current peak.

Just because this is the most popular server has more to do with, the fact of the content moreso than the fact that they disallow boxing. I came back to experience old school gaming, nothing more.

It goes back to what I said before. It ain't broke, and why fiddle with success? If boxing were allowed, I'd quit...period. I'm sure a lot of others feel that way, too.

It is allowed, do you know how many people have "wives" or "roomates" on this server? Just because its masked, and a bunch of us, would rather not risk our account on doing something that isn't allowed. Rather than putting in for an IP exemption, I voice my opinion here, trying to argue for it.

I don't know how you want me to prove it? To whine on the forums and threaten to quit like your crowd? I don't need to do that, unlike you guys who will quit on a whim, I like this server and whether or not I get my way I'll continue to play.

Lol...wtf you starting a flame? I'm not whining, I simply said why screw with success? If I were to quit on a whim, I'd have quit back when I couldn't find a group because no one was on the damn server. I happen to love the server...most people know that. I..and most others... believe boxing would kill it. Keep it civil there, pup.

The reports of mass boxing are greatly exaggerated by terrible and consequently, stupid players.

And yet again, Can we just agree to disagree? Did i ever call you stupid? I simply stated a point that I see people boxing all the time, and yet that makes me stupid according to you. Harrison all of your posts are one liners trying to insult people. Its all good though, [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

You said if x happens, youd quit. Flame war? I stated my point and you guys keep stating the same points you've said since the inception of this server. I'm simply posting my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions?

*edit*
Not only that, you can fiddle with things that will make it even more of a success. It will bring a wider audience of people here.

Humerox · #9 08-31-2010, 04:45 PM

Yeah, and that's not a whim, nor a threat. I believe boxing is THAT detrimental to server health. You're confusing threat with statement of fact, and a threat is only a threat if someone gives a shit...which I don't think 98% of the game population does. I'm just stating what I'd do, lol.

**edit**

I guess we can agree to disagree. The only thing I hinge my opinion on is the fact that P99 doesn't allow boxing, which may not be the ONLY factor in its success...but it's a factor I believe plays a large part. Changing boxing rules wouldn't be "fiddling" anyway, it's a fundamental construct of P99.

My calculations show that 25% of the population came because of no boxing, 20% came for the classic server, and the remaining 55% hardcore players are here because the server has weak system requirements and they are unemployed playing in their mothers basement.
