I don’t think there is vitriol against multiboxing btw.

Saying ‘have fun boxing on live/takp’ isn’t negativity. It is providing a solution in a positive way. I am sure many, if not most, of us have boxed at some point or still box on other servers.

Boxing is just outside the scope of the server. That is to be respected, and neither paying that respect nor communicating that respect, should be construed to be vitriol.

Stop seeing hate, start living love.

Cheating is a mental illness. Definitely self harm. Should Definitely go to adult time out.

Boxing was not common at all in the era that p99 attempts to recreate. If anything, p99 needs to go further and limit players to a single account. Having infinite free accounts is probably the least classic thing we have here. It affects so many aspects of the game. Imagine you have 8 char slots and none of those 8 chars can be played at the same time as another on the account. Choose your alts carefully. No more "hey bro can you sit afk on my alt so i can PL it" cheese. In the raid scene it is InfrastructureQuest with all the mules and bots spread across countless accounts and designed to be shared. None of that shit is classic.

P99 should also delete the wiki, remove mouse wheel scroll, change the client to be correct and eliminate being able to hot key open/close all bags with one button.

If your point is that there simply is no feasible way to prevent some things on p99, I agree.

But if they *could* prevent infinite account sharing, like they already largely do prevent boxing, that would be great for the project.

DKP FOR LEVELING UP MINDLESS CLERIC BOT #42 TO PARK AT A SPECIFIC CAMP IN A SPECIFIC ZONE is lame as hell

As a cleric, I very much agree about having shared account rez bots and stuff. Definitely a bummer and not in the nature of the game but I'm not really advocating for cracking down on it, tho it might help some other non classic stuff like people permacamping single mobs with 1 character.

Regarding the OP's multiboxing inquiry - it is against the rules of the server so people that choose to accept the rules naturally resent people that shirk the rules and experience the massive advantage of having a self contained group in a duo.

..boxing 2-8 acc in era when you couldn't tab out or run in a window. This is as funny as the people who said they ran Roger Wilco in era despite the fact that EQ had a code loop that used up your single core processor. This was brought up awhile back when people tried to troll-justify Discord being classic.

Over a phone line or college T1..
