If I had things my way, no boxing + you wouldn't get experience from mobs unless you were grouped.

If you want to play an MMO alone, play ANY OTHER ONE MADE IN THE LAST 12 YEARS.

The reason I chose P99 was -because- of the no boxing ruleset. Classic was a bonus.

I agree, if boxing where allowed in any form all of the high end camps would be forever locked down 24/7. It's bad enough that some asshole shaman has Tranix locked down for weeks at a time.... Imagine if he was allowed to also claim other camps on other alts at the same time! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Mass boxing is dumb. Often facilitated by automating programs and total greedy douches.

2-3 boxing however, isn't the end of the world. As I said before, mostly just to port, rez or transfer for yourself so you aren't wasting other people's time doing those things.

2-3 boxing with a pop of 1200/night essentially is mass boxing. It gets out of hand quickly. Needing 50 for a raid quickly turns into 25. Then you have 2x the guilds complaining about raid targets and how unfair life is on p99.

no way, take Clark for example. The next 'summer of clark, he'd have tranix, ragefire , jboots, verina tomb, for 3 months 24hrs a day.

no way to boxing, there are people here with the skill set and the mind to just lock entire droves of casuals from doing anything.

the forced single box promotes a flourishing playerbase. When I came to p99 every person was a person, not a box, every person had thier own goals, not the goals of the master box.. it is this sweet dynamic that is, classic.

I mean seriously Dald, these hard core people cant even fricking raid together, you think you allow the hard core sockers the opportunity to double, triple or quadruple their profit in EC and they wont totally ruin the server for all the casuals that make this server feel classic?

it'd be a joke on p99 if we allowed boxing, the server culture would change from whats classic, to "pfft buzz off casual this is a private club of 40 players"

again, hell no to boxing.

"this crypt duo is fun, I'm also socking tranix right now and Efreeti there are a bunch of groups trying to find xp fun lol fuck them right?"
