people arent evil for 2 boxing. i mean, really, you guys take this stuff too seriously.

relax. its just a game. if people are being malicious, perma ban seems reasonable. if someone is just being an idiot and thinks they can get away with 2 boxing, they are just a little impatient/selfish.

one chance for polite people won't cause a negative impact on the server. if people are trying to use it to get around the perma ban, the GMs arent stupid. they will realize when every boxer says they didnt realize it would result in a ban.

Over the holiday weekend Federal R99 Chairwoman Amelinda asked a question that sent a shot across the bow of all fair-minded players who have been playing by the rules.

Just the mention of leniancy has Tuesday's morning pre-market futures soaring in the 2-boxing sector. Jeff Sancy, a 2-box consultant in Chicago said his backlog of 2-box requests has grown 8% over the weekend alone.

(R99X2) the exchange traded 2-box ETF was up 17% pre-market Tuesday morning. Sally Simmons, a trader on the floor of the Chicago Exchange said she noticed a 5-1 ratio in advancers vs. decliners.

New Egg, a leader in online 2-box orders says their inventory will not keep up with the new demand of 2-boxers flooding the market. Expect low inventories to contribute to rising prices and R99X2 stock to explode over it's 50 day moving average.

Mike Lott CEO of Consultants in a Box, says this news sends the message loud and clear that there is no clear leadership at the helm of R99. "The leadership that IS there, seems to be clueless as to the repercussions of it's actions. The boat is rudderless and adrift." Mr. Lott also included that as the R99X2 ETF rises the R99 stock will fall conversely.

imo, banning trainers is more important than boxers.

I agree. Nihilum trains non-stop and then whines when someone brings a couple mobs accidentally. Ban Nizzarr, Beovvulf (or was he banned for MQ already?), and Natural. All of them train on a regular basis since they are bad at player versus player Everquest.

Cheaters aren't all evil but I don't want to play with them. Maybe the Cheaters should get together and build their own EQ server then they can all break the rules together [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think the reason players take cheating seriously is because the game is competitive and requires a HUGE amount of time investment and endurance. 2 Boxing directly impacts others because it allows people to level without the similar time investment, the EQ level grind is a big part of the game and most people can't handle the work it takes so they never get to high level.

There is no polite way to Cheat, 2 Boxing doesn't happen by mistake. You decided that the rules don't apply to you and hoped that you could fly under the radar.

2 Boxing impacts everyone:
  • It screws with the economy since it quickly creates more high level farmers.
  • It screws with PvP since it creates more high level characters to quickly fill guild ranks.
  • It screws with the game, since it allows solo players to more quickly level without the need for other players.

And finally it encourages more cheating since with a single GM it is unlikely that she could catch everyone and a slap on the wrist punishment is worth it for the possible HUGE gain in levels.

I can't be the only other player that has seen a PvP game go down the drain due to casual cheating, duping,etc. With the lame justifications that "its not really cheating everybody does it" , "Dude you have to cheat to keep up with all the cheaters" , " who cares it's not like I am hurting anybody else" ...

Be happy with the XP gains on RED and let the Cheaters be Banned.
