Ever a chance of allowing double boxing?

[Tuan]

Alawn, thank you for a legitimate response.

I still think it's a different story when there is a population restriction due to low level + time zone. That being said, I guess I'll see if things have changed in the last month or so and try again, knowing that there doesn't look to be any changes for two-boxing anytime soon and I'll just have to play a more solo class.

[Alawen Everywhere]

Let's define two classes of player.

The first class of player are the regular players. They are not allowed to two box.

The second class of player needs to two box. This group is defined as everyone except Ferok.

Do you see the problem with your ideas yet? Two boxing is a very large and very significant advantage. Nearly everyone will want to two box and most of those who don't want to will be forced to do so if they want to be competitive at all.

You are literally trying to create an entitlement program for the disadvantaged in an MMO. No one is disadvantaged here. We all have one character, one set of hands, one brain. Some of us are diligent. Some of us are clever. Some of us are charming. Some of us have powerful friends. Some of us work harder. Some of us just have to compromise. All of us had to level up. All of us had to look for groups if we wanted groups. All of us had to run across the world or try to beg or buy a port.

You are not special. You do not deserve special treatment to help you catch up to the big boys. You deserve only what you can accomplish for yourself--level, gear, friends, popularity, power, wealth, success. This is a game. There will be winners and losers. The only way to ensure that you don't lose is to not play, but then you can't win, either.

A million baseless arguments will not change the fact that the one emu server that does not allow boxing is the most successful. This is not a coincidence. The community has repeatedly expressed support for this policy. What is left to discuss?

Huh?

Maybe this is incorrectly stated, I don't really follow it as written. Either way, you're right - I don't need to two box. I like to two box. I've enjoyed it the past. I'm enjoying leveling right now, without it. If I thought I was special, I'd be doing it anyway, outside of the rules. Games are only fun to play, if they're played by the rules.

As I have discussed, there are advantages (for the server, as well as the participant) for allowing it. You can refute any of my points you like (and people have), that's cool with me. However, you hardly discuss the points I've made in your little tirade, instead trying to tear me down based on some assumptions you've made about who I am.

At least I think; as mentioned, I don't really follow the "two classes of players" bit. But since you're calling me out by name, I'm guessing it's about what I've posted.

I don't consider myself disadvantaged, and I'm honestly not that interested in "catching up with the big boys" as you put it. I've been there, and honestly, I just don't have the time to be a "big boy" these days. I'm quite happy enjoying the leveling process. I'm in no hurry for 50, or 60, or raiding fear or ToV.

So please, spare me the tyler durden / wargames speech. I'm all set. As I've said, I personally enjoy two boxing because I enjoy the challenge of it. It's got zip to do with feeling special or any of the other baseless crap you threw out.

Final thought, correlation != causation. You can argue that they're linked, but to insinuate causation is to ignore a slew of other factors.

VZTZ with classic content similar to this server has 2boxing! quit whining and get on down there if you want to do that sort of thing~

oh, what was that? you want to 2box on p99? why? because it is so cool and has a happening population of 500, yeah? you wouldn't want to waste your time 2boxing on a low pop server like TZVZ? WELL, guess again, buddy! if we allowed 2 boxing our population would plummet and would be just as low as VZTZ. those are your options, and vztz is that way --->

WTB worse apples to oranges comparison PST

I called you out by name because you're the one soliciting the idea of creating two classes of players. I was attempting to point out the disadvantages for whoever does not two box by presenting the most extreme example where you are the only player who doesn't have the advantage.

Your story has grown tiresome.

[snifs]

Let's end this discussion once and for all...

No

[imcrunchy]

cuz the fact that 2boxing will destroy our server is an apples to oranges comparison? yeah try a little harder next time!

Because the fact that even in classic blue servers were preferred by an order of magnitude over PvP servers? Boy, I wonder if that has any contribution to why this server thrives over VZTZ.

Nah..

Hi all.
Are there ever any plans to allow people to play more than 1 char at once?

No.
