I'm sure a few of you on this thread are going to call me a boxer just because I don't agree with you guys!
This is the forums, welcome - things are spun out of control here. Well done for trying to make it even more out of control with that second comment.

What you exaggerate I can exaggerate further. Before you know it, half the server is boxing and everyone posting here is doing it...and its totally true that the more hardline someone is against boxing, the more certain we all are that they are also definitely boxing.

Meanwhile, on Fox News...

Id just like to say that the douche bags who spend their whole day on these forums putting people down to make their e-peens feel bigger hurt the server population worse than 2boxers.

Sarcasm is hard to detect online, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt. If you have read through all the posts in the thread though, you will see comments were actually made like that (which may or may not have been sarcasm). Thanks for contributing to the discussion.

I am still baffled how there is so much hate towards 2 boxers. Yes it is against the rules, and there should be consequences. But from the sound of some people on here, it's almost as if those 2 boxers personally offended them IRL.

On live I boxed all the time...

Anyway, if you want to box, go do it on every other server ever.


On Project 1999, it is against the rules. Keep your filthy two-boxing ways out of here.
I will continue to diligently report any two-boxer I run into and assist the GMs in ferreting out these offenders.

Translation: I will form a witch hunt and yes, everyone posting here weighs the same as a duck. You're all two-boxers and reported.

I boxed on Live... it was never an issue... granted if I got into a group with folks other than my friends, I'd drop one toon to focus on the group. Regardless of what people think about it, it honestly didn't ruin the game. Sure there were folks who preferred to box instead of group, but I wasn't one of them. My Brother in law, wife and I used to 2 box a group and we had fun with it. I don't see the harm in it.

Having said that, on this server it's against the rules, and I have no issue with it being against the rules, because it's clearly, VERY clearly established that it's against the rules. I just wish that Amelinda wasn't broadcasting it across the server. I understand why (and people STILL don't listen), but honestly, people don't need to see tht crap. Interactions between GM's and players aren't for the world to see, and they constantly complain about folks trying to dig into what happened. Don't broadcast it, just do what you need to do with the offending player and move on. Personally, that just comes across the wrong way. I get it, it's their server and they can be as mean and aloof as they want, but if they don't want players on the server, then just shut it down.

Default Why bother?

"Busted a 4 boxer with 3 IPs". So unless theres 2 characters logged on with the same IP, Amelinda won't know to watch you. Almost sounds like entrapment.. here's your IP exemption and now i'm going to follow you around and wait for someone to AFK!

I remember when I raided on this server years ago people had setup VPN connections on their PCs so when they weren't available to play their friends could tunnel through their PC (thus using their IP) to box their account. No IP exemptions, no accounts playing from an unfamiliar IP, all appeared "normal". This sort of thing was rampant back then and I would suspect still goes on.

So while Uth/Amelinda were waiting to nail IP exempt abusers to a crucifix the real abusers/boxers got away scott free because it'd take too much resources to find and prove their abuse.

Moral of the story, if you need an IP exemption to play with someone then you're better off finding a VPN service, use your neighbours wireless, tether a smart phone or just play on live for free and avoid the headaches here. I hear eq mac is nice this time of year~

Yeah GMs enforcing the established rules definitely comes across the wrong way.

Wait what?

It isn't the fact that they are enforcing it... it's the "Oh rack up another 30 accounts in my super awesome 2 box basher belt". It comes across like she is having the time of her life banning people. It's just not good PR, but they may not care.

Also, they make clear points that interacts between the GM's and players aren't public knowledge, yet they choose to broadcast that... comes across as a double standard, they don't want it public knowledge unless it give them a power trip/rush....
