Contest for Reporting 2boxers?

[Deuces]

I doubt she would just instant ban you w/o giving you a chance to prove you werent boxing. My opinon is this isnt live ....if your upset about the boxing rule there are other servers to play on.

This is creating a general fear in the community that will only harm the server in the end. Thirty-six accounts in a single week is quite a lot, and you are reaching a point where false-positives are becoming ever more likely. You start banning the wrong people, and the whole house will crumble.

I know of couples now who play, that are now concerned that they are going to be seen as boxers simply because they are enjoying each other's company. Many players do not just sit at their computers every second that they are logged in. My girlfriend and I often play with one another and she or I will AFK while the other handles a camp as we take on real-life tasks. This is completely legitimate play, but unless we are both at the keyboard to respond to a passer-by, we are venomously accused of being dual-boxers.

I am not saying allow boxing, but I think the current actions need be tempered. A single strong warning with a flag on an account and at least let the person explain themselves. After that any infractions are a perma-ban offense. I know the GM's time is all volunteered, but there are still restrictions that need to be followed as the power is great.

I post this as I am deeply concerned for the future well-being of Project1999. I love this server.

I have no fear becuz I dont cheat.

If you think you were wrongfully banned make a thread in the petition and exploit section.


Doubt talking about it out here in general discussion will make the mod's or GM's sympathetic to your case heh.


but like others have said... if the GM's or mods aren't being reasonable just go to a different server or game.


This isn't the only rodeo in town so to speak.

Like saying if don't like rules in NFL go play in pee-wee league. Other servers logging in talk to npc you get epic for free. P99 is only game in town. If another ever comes out which is classic I am sure alot of people would go there if GM staff where better,

You sure sound like you don't two box. You also sound like you respect and appreciate the GMs and their work!

I play with several family members and none of us are afraid of being banned for Two Boxing because none of us does it.

Do you like to two-box?
Go to one of the other servers. Sometimes people even encourage Two-Boxing, you can find people boxing their own groups as well, sounds like paradise for boxers.
I wonder why they insist on doing it the one place where it isn't allowed.

[Flunklesnarkin]

Naw.. basically saying if you feel the referee made a bad call.. don't go appealing to the crowd to riot.


Try using your instant replay to get the play reviewed.


If that don't work.. then i could understand a little appealing to the crowd ;p

[Lifesbane]

Thanks Funklesnarkin, I was not sure where to appeal.

I know there are other servers around but I think it can go without saying the community and spirit are what make a server. The community and spirit of P1999 is the embodiment of the classic EQ experience all of us here strive to relive once again. The folks around here, little as they know me (lurker status engage) are what makes this experience what it is for me.

I'm not sure what label or market managers at major publishers would call us, but you cannot find the competitiveness and concurrent teamwork that makes an Everquest server what it was back in old times anywhere else. Try and fail as they might, its the vision and beliefs the original developers put into the game that forged the synthesis of these behaviors. Progression servers that Sony is running are bastardized money grabs at our market and most of us see right through it. It was sticking to the original formula that breeds players that you find here, and I would not want it anyway else [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Without reading the entire thread, the idea reminds me of the "Report a neighbour" system at the Soviet used.
Let the GM's do their job instead of trying to "World Police" the game yourselves, and expect rewards for it. I'm pretty confident 9/10 "boxreports" made by players are just bollocks; "Oh shit there's this PL crew here, probably BOXXXRZ, ruining my expcamp" etc.

I have been extremely concerned about the way Amelinda has been spamming global with the results of her 2box hunting. For starters, it doesn't seem appropriate for the reasons others have already enumerated. Secondly, the time frame that was stated by Amelinda herself did not seem like enough time to properly vet even half the accounts she claims to have banned... leading to the obvious consequences.

It just seems pretty clear that this is becoming a case of overzealousness and greater care could easily be taken with something so serious, for the continuing health of the server.
