Make them do things no boxer could, especially holding a convo at the same time) They did, but afterwards the scrotewank who reported them was like "I'm gonna keep reporting you for boxing lol because I don't care lol I know your boxing lol" and they decided to find something better to do with their time than be bullied by whoever he was.

Anyway, I didn't ask who the d-bag was. I didn't think harassment-through-troll-reporting would be effective, either on my friends or on P99 customer service, but they decided a server with people like that wouldn't be very fun to spend time on.

Yay, cyber-bullying.


And now back to the thread topic: A hypothetical teams-PVP, FV Ruleset, boxing-friendly server would also require AoE fear added to one random NPC in every dungeon/camp. Loooooool
That sucks for your friends. But you can thank the jerks that DO box for this crap. if it wasnt for them your friends wouldnt have been 'harassed'. The no Boxing Rule is there for a reason.

You have a majority of people who are strictly against boxing for valid reasons, it is the server rule, and it is probably something that will never be changed on the original server.

But why not create another pve/pvp server that is 2 or 3 boxing friendly? You do have a relatively high number of people who are unhappy on the forum that boxing is not allowed on the server. It would probably require a lot less man power to regulate (probably just need 1/5 of the GMs only for the purpose of mainly exploits of bugs and other 'illegal' activities) The server could definitely serve as an experimental tool, watching the economy, playing pattern, population, and perhaps to decline (if what everyone claiming that boxing ruined everquest was true)

I tried searching for this topic but without avail, most of the 'boxing' topic was some sort of plea to allow boxing for certain reasons or on pvp servers.
Shut your whore mouth!

I am not for lowing our server pop. Is it really that big of a deal? It's just counter-productive for the server and I think people should finally just get over it to be honest. We are lucky we have people paying their own money and little donations to run 2 as it is. They don't have disposable income to throw out server after server. Everything should be focused on the ones we have IMO. You could also go play SoD if you want to box or find another emu.

Thank you all for the reply, so I guess the summary is:

- Don't want the resources to get split to something else, but PVP server is an exception where it is still a welcomed alternative regardless that it could be less populated than a boxing server

- There is enough temptation for a lot of people on the original server that temporary or permanent migration will really shake down the population

- General population would rather have the people 'on the border' to either play with no boxing rule, or go play something else, but don't want something in the middle to exist as it would lead to above two points

I used to be in support of boxing here. I love boxing. I boxed whenever I went back to EQ post-POP. I boxed in FFXI. I've boxed in multiple other f2p MMOs. I'll likely box Pantheon if I play it.

Why I don't support it here or on a new blue? Once stagnation hits then it just crowds out any new comers because people will be able to solo (person) camp all of the most valuable areas. Eventually the population withers and the whole thing dies.

Actively developed MMOs should never reach stagnation, or at least not stay in stagnation long, because they're actively being worked on to sate the appetites of those people, that's just not going to happen on this project.
- Thank you baalzy, this is probably the explanation I was looking for

Most passive-aggressive post of the year so far!

I didn't mean to lead it that way but somehow ended up like that :-)

Seriously, Why come to our server, love it, then try and change it? Play it for what it is or GTFO!
As I said, I am not trying to change anything on the original server. No need to get so hostile, I am just making a suggestion for a discussion. Such hostile response reminds me of when certain politicians goto certain countries, a group of citizens start flipping cars and burning flags/effigees.

actually, while you're at it, make a server for PLers too. Multiboxers and PL server. They can have 200x XP rate and get outta the way of actual groups of actual players of an actual game.
Like I said before, I am not trying to create 10000 suggestions here. By the way, PL is still allowed on the current server

This server is very clearly anti-boxing. It's stated everywhere and advertised as a classic, no-boxing server. Why would you even try to bring up a boxing server?

Would you go to catholic mass to try to convert people to Islam?

PEQ server allows boxing multiple clients. I played there before P99 release, but couldn't imagine going back or to a different server now.
