Should this server allow boxing of level 1 characters only?

Worst part of dropping is getting back in time.

Which is why I just have friends and guildees I trust to do transfers. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Any city has good/safe places to drop transfer items, it's as much of an issue as you want to make it.

There really isn't a reason you can't make friends on P99, there's good folks around everywhere. I got a GNOME of all races to help me transfer some singing steel boots the other day. I'd met him only once before in a CoM group - said he knew some others in my guild when we were smalltalking...that was good enough for me. He didn't run off with them [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Guys, c'mon, it's over. DMN called us on it. He said that no good reasons have been put forward, and we are just going to have to deal with that. I don't know how we thought we could argue against this guy anyway, since he has the power to decide validity. It's like arguing with a thunderstorm, it just doesn't do any good. I, for one, apologize DMN.

I realize now that since you were irritated about not getting your spells, then it is perfectly reasonable to have a thirteen page argument about how the devs here should overturn a core commitment on a system that they developed and put lots of effort into and that you had nothing to do with besides enjoying. I realize now that 'boxing' and 'ONLY LEVEL 1 what don't you understand pmfg boxing' are TOTALLY different things, and in no way have any similarities. Yknow, in a way I'm glad we got called on our fail here, people. Maybe we can take this as an opportunity to learn the best way to respond to DMN. I'm thinking 'You are exactly correct, DMN, thank you.' is a good start, but maybe some of you have another idea or two.

One of the cornerstones of an old era game community like EQ is that it's social, people help each other and it's easy to make some pals and slay some orcs etc. That's why people come back here, to do that and experience that again.

When people want to basically play solo quest, never see or talk to anyone else and want features added that help them to stand apart from everyone else...that's what WoW is for. Go play that instead.

You have embiggened us all with your cromulent humility.

"Rational" arguments does not fly. This is an attempt to make things as classic as can be. Having tons of level one mules in EC selling stuff is not classic in any shape or form. Leave/live with it.

By SoV, 70-80% of EC were boxrd mules, the rest beggars. Ain't no one got time to sit around EC with your thumb up your ass. It's really amazing what kind of ignorant BS is constantly spewed on this forum about "classic" EQ.

I spent a majority of my time in EC from Kunark to Luclin in classic. No 80% of EC was not boxed mules.

BS they weren't.

Pretty much all WTB/WTS spam would specifically be telling you to send tells to their main character they were playing instead of their EC mules. Onlu occasuionally punctuatd by a lowbie trying to sell some pelts/bone chps/CB quest items etc. You were probably dumb enough to think thy were just doing that for a buddy or something. Awww the innocence of youth.

Even if 100% of EC tunnel was this way it doesnt matter. Dev's dont want it. Doesnt matter if it was classic or not. There are classic things nerfed on this server like Ivandyr's hoop. If Dev's feel it is against the spirit of the game it wont be allowed. You want to play in their sandbox? Well then you have to play by their rules.
