Ever a chance of allowing double boxing?

I'm sure I'm not the only one out there that would find it helpful to be able to two box because of circumstances, so I stated them.

No reason to act like an ass.

There's always a chance. Like I said earlier, basically, according to Nilbog, two circumstances must be met. There must be a declining server population, and a general consensus. Neither of which exist atm.

I would like to two box. I do not want to group. I do not like to group. I do not play well with others. I do not like to share.

I tried to play on the server and group. I didn't like grouping. Just like when I was on live.

On live, before my boxing days, I would either raid or solo. I rarely grouped even then, except on raids.

I am not a farmer. I found I am more help to others, with my own healer/slower to tag along with me. But in general, I prefer to do my own thing.

Eventually I hope we start to allow 2 boxing. I would like to enjoy the server too. As it is now, for me, playing on this server sucks. Lucky for you, I have very little time to play, and spend what time I can coding. When I have more time, I will probably want to start playing again, and will look at my options.

I share a similar situaiton to the Op. I dont really have so much time to play anymore, but I still think that there are merits to keeping it single IP. Mostly this promotes a strong community that is more forced to work together, rather than the route a lot of the other EQ Emulation servers have gone which can be fun initially but grows stale after not too long due too a lack of social interaction.

The boards here make it a lot easier to mingle without having to play though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

I have to ask this though.

If you don't have time to get groups, why play a support class?

I would like to two box because I think it makes it a little more fun/challenging.

That said, my view on two boxing is that you are basically taking up more bandwidth and contributing even less to the community. *shrug*

My loathing for 2 boxing knows no bounds. I wouldn't say I'd quit if it were implemented here, hell I'd prolly do it myself, but it just changes the dynamics of so many things. It dilutes the game. I'm not about to say its not useful or can't be fun, challenging, or empowering but it marginalizes every tenet the game was founded on. Its the most powerful e-z moadlol button there is. I do feel for off-hour players and players that simply aren't comfortable grouping with random internet people but at the end of the day, this game is supposed to be hard and rewards players are lucky or that put their noses to the grindstone and get-r-dun regardless of circumstance...much like the much hated game IRL.

I loved alot of the convenience features that live eventually incorporated; shared banks, maps, pok books but 2 boxing is cancer plain and simple. It kills games from the inside out. It literally sucks the life out of online communities. I'll admit that I'm disappointed that a dev has spoken in favor of 2 boxing but w/e, its nice while its not here. I'm just thankful to whomever has made this experience possible, 2 boxing or no. /bow (but plz never allow 2 boxing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] )

Lol @ 2boxing making things more difficult.

My Cleric/Enchanter combo was unfuckingstoppable on Live. I could rape things your full group wishes it could.

Heh, i had a chanter / pally duo . It was essentially a poor man's shaman / sk [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But i was able to solo (or duo as it was) amazingly effectively.

That was my original duo as well, until the enchanter decided to start playing again. Clarity / haste on the paladin, slow on the opposing mob. Ahh.. the glory days.

Look at the servers where 2 boxing is allowed, they suck badly. They have half the peebs online than our server and half of them are 2,3,4,5,6 boxing. Thats just a joke. I hink the non boxing rule is one of the most important rules this server has, i play often at EU times and finding groups is not that bad, i dont see any problem with that...

Even if we had a population of 2000 peebs id still vote for a non boxing rule.
