In my dream of dreams, we are the experimental first p99 server to admit that boxxing was not unheard of on live as early as classic era, and more prevalent by velious. I personally two boxxed my friends shaman account in velious to level my warrior in velketor entrance, because velious was fucking huge and it took HOURS of sitting LFG to get a group as a warrior.

In this instance, I run one of these combos: War + SHM/DRU/CLR or MNK + SHM/DRU/CLR.

There is so many fun dynamics to these different combinations, and what it comes down to, for me, was how well could you survive an ambush or dig into a dungeon with your combo, who could handle the toughest camps? Monk/Shaman was always my bread and butter as I could buff my monk up and make potions for him, camp out the shaman, and cause a ruckus in Guk or Sebilis. If a fight went sour, I could usually hold off long enough for the shaman to camp and then Monk FD.

If its just another 1 box, I guess I will roll a monk and quit around level 20 or yet again play a solo caster class that I dont REALLY want to play but is the only way to realistically level on a low pop pvp server long term without selling your soul to cazic thule IRL.

Yeah. A super hard-coded RZ box that allowed some boxing might be fun. Like lvl 30s can't heal or buff lvl 35s vice versa.

A lot of times on red I just want to single player classic when I feel up to it, but miss low sub lvl 20 pvp vs newbies.

I feel like this has caused permanent nostalgia for me. Not sure we can ever get it back.

There was adequate population on red 1.0 for at least 2 years.

If any new red server comes out, you can expect at least that level of performance out of it. Especially as green gets stale and some folks want to try their hand at the next new server.

I stopped trying to decide what class I am going to choose in 1 or 2 or 10 years we'll just have to see how I'm feeling when the server comes out, and if I can even play.

I think the big question is how many people are 2 boxing red / blue right now versus actual individual players? How many players do we actually have? At first glance, we have more pop than ever and if green blue merge or something we will have a ton of people interested in piling into a new server for a while.

Glad to see strongnpretty still around. You need gigantic scrubs around to punch around in game and feel like this server still worth a darn.
