Should this server allow boxing of level 1 characters only?

[DMN]

I've been pulling my hair out these last days just trying to get some of my 50+ spells. The spells are apparently being bought and sold according to p99 auctions, but never when I'm on my EC mule apparently, Whenever I camp my main out i at risk for losing my camp and at my level now it's not easy to simply find another camp. For the life of me I cannot see what harm would be caused by simply allowing such behavior.

And before anyone says it: I do already keep the auction stream going in my browser and tab over once and awhile but its just giant waste of time for the past couple of days. I think these "lower value" items probably don't get bothered to be offered for sale so you pretty much need to "WTB them..

Nope. Don't allow this. Suck it up and tunnel quest like the rest of us.

Why not? Be specific.

Being allowed to box a tunnel-mule is very un-classic and creates a very un-classic environment. Now everybody rarely ever has to run to the bank or make dedicated EC tunnel visits to get things bought or sold which, for better for worse, is a staple classic EQ experience. Tunnel would be completely different and everything would be shittier. Convenience isn't always best. Much of the draw of classic EQ is precisely its inconvenience; for people who like to delay gratification, accomplishing something in EQ is that much more rewarding because of the process involved.

EQ is like edging for six hours and then finally having a tantric, transcendent orgasmic experience, versus the modern MMO where you nut in like 10 mins and it's meh

Not classic? almost every player who didn't box other characters 50+ in classic had an EC mule boxed instead, or friend/guildmate doing it. If you want to make some kind of completely arbitrary argument about the accomplishment of sitting on your ass and drooling on your keyboard as you hit your EC macro button that's fine, but not classic? puhleez.

This server promotes a classic experience. Just because some ppl did it back in the day it doesn't make it classic. Classic is more or less meaning the way the game was designed to be played. (IE: boxless)

Just to humor you though if the development team did allow it, where would you draw the line? You allow lvl 1 boxing you really just open up the door for many more changes that don't line up with the "classic as the game was meant to be played" vibe we've got going on. Or at least got going on as best as they can get it.

The tunnel in its current iteration is essentially the lone unique aspect of P99. Most of what makes Classic EQ "Classic" can be found elsewhere, but the tunnel experience is pure nostalgia and it's ours. Removing some of the hassle would in turn remove some of its uniqueness.

Also, just want to clear something up for the OP here because it seems he might be confused:

What you've proposed in the quoted section above is totally legal. You are allowed to make friends. You know, just in case you were waiting for permission or something.
