sage is so good, gets amazing sage only items and no one plays them so they just rot. Boxing is not a requirement.

Shame it allows boxing

I would just like to point out again that this game was designed around people not being able to box to gain benefits over those who don't box. I'm highly familiar with the whole stereotype of people rolling up mage groups or whatever and steamrolling things, or needing to box to succeed in games, particularly low population emulated servers. Everything's been built to break that stereotype. That won't matter to some of the people who are vehemently anti-boxing, but it should be known that much has been done to break any and all stereotypes and tropes with these sorts of things.

This is at its root a game about defying stereotypes in gaming.

And I call it a "game" and not a "server" because it is not an EverQuest Emulator server. It's a new game built within the EverQuest engine, powered by EQEmulator. Everything anyone thinks they know about EQEmu servers has been intentionally subverted and flipped on its head.

Im a one toon type of person, log in and go

having to load up boxes, have them follow each other around is too much work for me

not boxing while others have the option to box puts me at a dis advantage

I played on ezserver where most people multi box, I made gains and did well but once I got towards the end game, people on my lvl had 10+ toons and didn't want to share gains because I was not necessary and they would rather gear out there 8th boxed char than to share it with me playing one character

I feel the same would happen here

I would always be at a dis advantage by my choice so knowing this I have to just pass even tho I would love to play in the long run it would only hurt my gains so the energy will be spent on more of an equal playing field, red99 or blue99

You cant box 10, we bring the entire server together as a community to raid stuff on friday and sat nights, even people who are way under leveled and don't even do anything other then stand around and pretend they are doing something still get equal shot on drops without question. Show up, have fun, get potential loot. One of our solo players who doesn't box at all has some of the best gear on the sever because he has won a lot of rolls. Everyone has equal shot on raids, sure people who box can do more by themselves but nothing relevant gear wise can just be done with 3 characters. You need muuuch more then 3 characters to really do anything but farm basic tradeskill mats and do some basic xping or farming rare drops from easier content.

Right now the Subclasses least played would be Merchant, Demonologist, Dragoncaller, Etherealist, Geomancer, Puppetmaster, Sage. All of these subs have yet to be really dove into except for Etherealist and Dragoncaller, who had active players that vanished.

I was one of those etherealists who stopped playing.

Here's a screenshot from a zone which may or may not ever see the light of day on the server. I had a lot of fun working on it while I got the chance. Unfortunately, things happen.

I personally think by telling them so before hand it is plenty of fair. I don't mind boxing and like to have more then 1 character, but knowing that will be probably taken from me as population grows is ok to me. I mean sure some people will be upset, some people will be upset its allowed in the first place, some people will ALWAYS be upset about something. Always forever and ever people will disagree with anything. That doesn't mean that other people aren't capable of coping with the change and hopefully more people then not will be able to deal with that, or understand going in that its subject to change and do so at your own risk.

The Neanderthals here really love to stress their disdain for boxing and tell everyone about it. Ignore them. The idea seems neat. It's something different. Maybe I'll check it out if I get some free time.
