I hope no one will play Green and Teal simultaneously. However, boxing on 2 separate P99 servers has never been prohibited before. You could play both Red and Blue. We thought that was for the sake of Red’s population, but I’m not sure.

Is it even possible for the staff to detect or prevent a player from simultaneously logging in one character on each of two P99 servers?

Also, I really truly can't believe they're allowing boxing across teal and green. Either they're off their rockers or they actually don't intend to ever merge the two servers.
I'm a Tecmos fan, watched a bunch of your YouTube vids, but... you're overreacting. It's been specifically stated that this may revert within weeks.

That's not really a whole lot of time for some neckbeards to ruin an economy. Even months wouldn't be a big deal. We're sitting in classic, after all.

2 boxing between green/teal = free spot on the /list for manastone while you grind on the other server? hmm

More like leveling your utility Druid while you grind your chanter.

Definitely an issue however. It's a major leg up for die hards, and it also really spoils the point of the split in the first place.

It's as much a principle of the thing as it is a problem because of the effect it has on the server. And yes, it might only be weeks. But maybe it'll be months. And that WOULD be a big deal. Half of classic with some hundred people able to box level up raid alts and collect more plat and legacy items leading into kunark isn't kosher. That's the shit that'll speed us to a blue situation. And the blue situation is most of the reason why everyone was excited about green, because you get to play without it without tons of item and plat and character power creep.

Classic might not have the best gear, but there are a good number of lucrative cash camps that will cause a bunch of inflation when duplicated like this, so I agree with you. And you're right, we have no idea when this will merge back. If Green doesn't drop drastically in population, then we're likely looking at until Kunark

Throwing my coin in the no boxing hat. If the intention was to temporarily control population, allowing boxing defeats the purpose. It removes the incentive for anyone to actually leave Green temporarily, which was the whole point.

Force them to choose one or the other.
