Legalizing two boxing on red99. Would not be a bad idea. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Strong downvote.

Vehement disapproval.

Disappointment.

Forgiveness.

I accept you completely and unconditionally. Your opinion deserves the greatest respect and consideration.

I love you very unconditionally and platonicaly Gustoo. I am grateful we can share different viewpoints in this matter.

So that other people can engage, I will explain.

Boxing sucks because it makes it hard to be social with people. Talking to two boxes in game is ridic, and people jumping back and forth between characters seldom have the time for any kind of chit chat.

Additionally, when shit hits the fan, it's a beautiful thing to see a group of real players jump into actual action and bring the pain on mobs.

I think it is like any other convenience feature of everquest. It helps one thing, but hurts others. In this case it helps make it easier to level up on your own but it makes it harder to get real groups.

This is coming from a guy who soloed the vast majority of level 1-60 on a cleric who coulda done the same thing in half the time and had two level 60's if I was boxxin it.

tbhqvfh if i wasn't a psychotic nutjob (moreso back then, then now) I would have offered to PL u like 50x on Veris my druid or made an enchanter and shared buffs.

But I failed at being a socially conscious elf for so long. I feel like I forget it's possible to play this game that way.

For the majority of the higher levels I was soloing because I was playing 1 hour intervals, or was killing a single or 3 mob timer and medding up and camping out till repop while trying not to keep up with other projects.

It wasn't a fully vacated world at the time, solo by choice.

But with my play style I coulda duo'd with about half the play time and had 2 toons.

Thanks for the help though. I was able to get tons of groups and help from good pals when I was actually able to put group worthy sessions into the game.

Ya, I mean, there's nothing wrong with making good friends if I sat in guk on a 50 ench and just hit you with clarity every 3 hrs while you were afk that wouldn't be a bad deal IMO.
