Boxing and you

[Kavious]

It was in the announcement Rogean posted

Green Beta

Boxing is allowed on the Beta Server.

[Canelek]

The cool part about boxing on beta is that you will probably eventually get caught on Green99 Live. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yup! From Nilbog's original announcement of P99 on the EQ Emulator site:

Project 1999 - Legit PVE Classic Progression


Release Date: October 2nd, time TBA.


After many joyful days, nights, and months of development, we are ready to release the server.

Brief description of highlights:

-Progressive through Velious -

- 100% Static Zones - You won't be able to repop an empty zone by zoning.

-Upon release, each RL player is allowed to play 1 client until it is deemed in need of change by the community.

...

Evidently it's never been "deemed in need of change by the community" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

boxing is the death of adventure

[Nagoya]

i remember my father was boxing some times.
he got fun out of it. didn't want to talk to anyone. thought of EQ as a solo game.
finally convinced him to go on a different server where boxing and soloing is the norm and he enjoys it.
he is not a bad person, just a 60+ y.o. french dude who didn't want to interact in english with many people (just found out in this thread today that apparently speaking english is mandatory to be a player on p99, i cried a little inside [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ) and thought boxing was nice cause he could help himself instead of doing all these things that we all love and protect.

all this to say, i am 100% against boxing and i agree that the hard no-boxing rule is the reason why i'm still here after so many years [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
but all boxers are not abusing assholes. some of them are just foreign grumpy old men.
banning them is still fine.
but don't hate on them. they just play the wrong game.

but please ban them.

That was a really nice post Nagoya!

I wish more people could remember that X might be bad in specific ways for specific reasons, but just because that's true it doesn't mean that anyone who likes X is suffering from a moral failing. People can be different from you, and make different choices, and that's ok (as long as those choices aren't hurting anyone else).

A lot of people could stand to learn that, in a lot of cases besides just 20-year old emulated elf sim boxing.

I couldn't let my daughter play on here for effectively the same reason when she wanted to try a couple years ago. She was too young at the time to be able to chat with a GM if she had to for some reason or another. She proceeded to find Minecraft instead, which probably was for the better in the long run.

I don't think English is mandatory to play on P99, just that if you box and get caught, not speaking English isn't going to be something that you can use as an excuse (i.e. because you couldn't read the rules or that because you can't understand English you couldn't comply with the staff's instructions when they investigate you for boxing)
