2boxing is basically one man running 2 characters at the same time. Because we didnt have any of this fancy alt tabbing or eq window bullshit, we had to have a second computer, aka the second "box" or 2 boxing.
Having a tank and following it with a cleric grouped and only using the cleric to basically heal would be the most basic form of EQ 2 boxing I can think of, it gets more elaborate from there.
*edit*
When I Started playing and I got to about level 40 ish, my buddy (a cleric) couldn't be on to raid ssra sometimes, so I would box his cleric for CH chains and things where they absolutely needed the extra healer, so I was leveling somewhere completely different than where the 2nd box character was, but I was still 2 boxing. Not necessarily together, but still a double box.
