Ever a chance of allowing double boxing?

Heh, I don't remember that sentiment at all. I boxed Kunark through GoD, playing 2-3 in groups, raids, and solo. I don't remember anyone ever giving me a salty message regarding my playing multiple. Quite on the contrary, actually.

My advocation of 2-boxing on this server has been, and most likely always will be, on a limited basis. I don't think it's for the good of the server that the whole population have a second account. I do however think that boxing under limited circumstances (as it was in classic) is not problematic.

Not you in purticular, But I always equated 2-3 boxers to gold farmers that ruin games by flooding the markets with the items they farm up in the camps they horded from real players. It happens on Live daily.

We have already had scammers, hackers and exploiters just this past week show players given an inch will take a mile...even on a free to play server...nothing good will come from allowing boxing.

I don't think you're trolling. I do believe you're not thinking everything through.

Every additional box is a live player less that can possibly group with you. Every camp you box at is a camp that's not going to live groups. Computers are much more capable nowadays, allowing more people to effectively box.

Then we have the EverReady bunny syndrome. it keeps going...and going...

Since you're into showme...log into PEQ, play there for a while as a non-boxer, then tell us what you think. As someone already mentioned here...that server did not start out with boxers.

I think we're seeing this from 2 different points of view. People that want to 2 box DONT want to group. As it stands, that means now they play solo classes.

In other words, there was never an opportunity for those people to get into the group in the first place. Nothings changed.

That was my point [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Tell me about PEQ, what happened?

No offense or anything, but you're going to need to draw that parallel for me.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Something that would never happen, basically. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

With that being said, IMO, you're still exaggerating. 1 full group of people 2 boxing

Like I said, expand this scenario to not just one group, but across the server.

Like many others have said it leads to ever increasing rates of smaller percentages of actual players taking a higher percentage of camps / drops.

Funny, they both already have. Classic and Hiroshima/Nagasaki, respectively.

Lets expand it across the server. Just how many people do you honestly think are going to 2 box? 5%? 10%?

Thats why I'm saying the issue is being overstated.

Is that what happened to PEQ?

On a free server with modern pc's and modern connections ?

Probably 50%, if not more. If left unchecked, those two-boxing quickly become a dominant force and make life difficult for those who'd rather single-box, thus making that percentage higher.

Two-boxing in everquest has always been limited. The only implementation that works is a limited implementation.
