No boxing is one of the reasons I keep coming back.
Every player character in the game is a person in real life.
If we could only keep it to one account per player and crack down on sharing characters.

When someone gets suspended on one account, they just play a diff character or some shared guild account until free.

Account sharing was an ez way to get a suspension if caught on live.

Not true. Even eBay/PlayerAuctions RMT, while against the rules, never got anyone suspended that I ever heard about. If you paid your $10/month, you got to log in one toon at a time (per subscription). Their goal wasn’t to have a fair playing field, it was to get more of those $10/month.

It was “common” for “top” guilds on a server to require members to share login info with officers to prove they weren’t up to anything shady. I thought that was insane, but quite a few people seemed to think that was normal. I never shared mine, but I knew a number of people with pocket clerics/enchanters (I assume they bought them on eBay...) that shared info to me. One guy needed help buying subscription one month so he gave me his login, I paid for a month or two and had access to his boxing account for a long time, very convenient.

Along the lines of English being “required”, if you’re sharing an IP with someone (or anything that server staff could possibly interpret as similar) and there are two toons logged in, neither of you can afk or you’ll never pass a boxing test. You have to log one out if either/both of you are afk.

Not entirely “fair”, given that AFKing is perfectly allowed and can be super beneficial (IE friend lets you AFK soak up XP), but if you don’t want a ban, comply!

If my wife is playing and needs me to help her do something on her client, I log out before I’ll touch it. Kinda pisses her off.

This is a logical fallacy known as a red herring argument. The topic is boxing.

it is often overlooked by the players but we appreciate the seriousness against boxing, it really is the reason we quit TLP servers and came here

Imagine if power leveling was as frowned upon as boxing, could argue they both effect the overall experience in a negative way. I agree boxing is bad, but just think how different the environment would be with a anti-power leveling policy . The 4 mob bard limit will sure be a very positive thing off the start, not long before zones are monopolized by power leveling. I know this wont happen but just imagine, earning your levels seems to be the point of playing a 20 year old game.

If its zone disruption, report it.

Example: Soandso the druid has been hired by some low level and has pulled half of crushbone for some fast XP and belts. You went in to get XP and now there's nothing to kill because it's all dead. Tell them you're reporting it, usually they'll move on, but a green tag appearing just adds that certainty so you (and the rest of the zone) can enjoy the session as intended.

Live is utterly filled with boxers. Its soul crushingly bad.

You can bet out of every 10 people in sight there is probably 2-3 real people there tops.

And then each box with a merc. Nobody needs to interact except for raiding.
