Anti-boxing1?

[NegaStoat]

The simplest answer is that no one would bother to play a Druid or Wizard seriously, as even casual guilds would PL what they needed and store them for utility reasons.

I've boxed in the past and run into peeps who thought me the devil for it too. Never really understood that. That said, I fully understand the rule as implemented here and it doesn't bother me. If I want to box I'll just make my own server ^^ or play on another one. I like peeps though ^^

If you Want to Box go someplace else. They will smack your Pee Pee on here and I will help them do it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It would ruin this server just like the shithole live is, and the stupid progression server Ragefire is.

If you have to ask you lost my respect already. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I can't believe I was excited to pay 14.99 a month for this shit :/

I paid $14.99/mo for almost 7 years. I quit playing when Live went F2P cuz I knew the riff raff would soon take over the game.

Like I said at the start. I am new to the server and its culture.

Individual players can still be a-holes. Boxing does not make you inherently evil.

I have always dropped whoever I've needed to to make room for players even on live. It's much more pleasurable to group with real people. I also understand that lots have abused it and there is obviously a negative attitude about it.

Most people who see me on live look on in amazement and are sincerely curious.

As it stands I am having a lot of fun here. I would like to see some more low level players willing to group vs buffed by a high level running around killing everything.

I have met some really nice players and some not so nice. Very nostalgic of eq back in the day. I am almost surprised how similar it is.

Thanks for the responses

Part of the reason to play the game for me is interacting with like-minded players. I feel boxing can further remove players from the general population. I want to play with someone and enjoy their company. In my experience, if I am playing with someone who is boxing, a lot of times they are busy switching between monitors and doing a bunch of things at one time it doesn't leave a lot of time to "hang out" so to speak.

Also, I think boxing would take away some of the things that make EverQuest fun, to me. I mean here things like maybe you would box to buff and PL yourself, box to port yourself, and box to transfer gear/plat. I am not really pro PL, but I enjoy leveling a character on my own or with a group of players. Though travel can take a long ass time if you don't have somebody around who can port you, I think the wait of needing to spend so long traveling is rewarding in a way.

Like sunshine else already said, if you want boxing Try project 2002 and see what you think about it and that community.

Ok, so I am new here so please be gentle!

Why is there such a harsh anti-boxing ideology?

I have played normally and I have boxed over the years. I can do either, but boxing tends to add fun to the games that I get bored with...

I am not an obnoxious boxer, I drop my toons if theres someone wanting in the group, I buff people and am generally a helpful person.

I was a bit taken back when I came here to find out why I was restricted to one IP to find such a harsh anti-boxing stance.

Thanks for any feedback, it is appreciated [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For the record, I agree with you Qenni. I don't think boxing is the 'end all' of EQ. Like you said, most folks would probably use it for a port or a corpse summon or a rez, or buffs. Which I would be fine with.

I think the reason it has no place on Project1999, is because the server is already congested as it is. If this were a low-pop server, (which one day, who knows? It may very well be) then boxing would be allowed. That is one thing that PEQ is doing right -- there's too much content and not enough players, and they allow boxing. Seems like a pretty positive environment on that server.
