Do you have evidence to support this hypothesis?

If boxers paid then they would argue that they are, for lack of a better word, better than non boxers because they are supporting the server by paying a sub fee.

Not to mention once people start paying they start threatening to cancel if things aren't fixed...

How would them arguing that they're better than others effect anyone or anything?

Also, if people threaten to cancel - it doesn't effect the server directly because of the following reasons.

A - The server is doing fine without their subscriptions.
B - They would be paying for the ability to 2box, not for the ability to play.


If the arguement turns to "if the server is fine without their subscriptions, then why do it?"; my reply is that it helps secure the server and even pose the possibility of future upgrades and/or financial problems that we may encounter.

If a player were to threaten to cancel his subscription because something isn't fixed or goes his way, then let them cancel. They'd be paying strictly for the right to 2-box and nothing more. If there was a subscription to play, then I would understand but this wouldn't be the case.

No! Dual boxing destroyed the community on live even more than the bazzar did imho.

I do agree with the xp mod for full groups being increased. Enchanters, necros and mages can help groups alot, however a lot of the people playing them would rather solo simply because they can get the same or better exp without having to rely on other people. This would give them a reason to want to group [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'd like to hear some legitimate reasons on why boxing affects the server's health. Let's assume boxing cap would be 2 chars.

Sony would fly up Rogean and Nilbogs asses so fast if they charged a subscription fee.

I doubt Sony even pays attention to EqEmu anymore. Adding a subscription as a bonus wouldn't be an issue I think but adding a subscription for 'game play' would be I'm sure.

Plus, Shards of Dalaya does it and they haven't had any issues (lately).

I suggest you open a server and charge subscriptions then! I would hope that the mods running this server steer clear of the potential legal morass that would occur with charging even a voluntary subscription fee. (like you suggested for boxers)
