question about multi boxing

[nicemace]

hey guys, just got the emu system all setup now and will be playing on p1999 once server is back up.

i have read through the rules and understand them and all, just was wondering why multi boxing is not allowed?

i being one of maybe 3 players in New Zealand from live (back in the day) suffered from being at a major disadvantage cause everquest was primarily based around US time zones. so playing late at night no one was on cause it was the early morning in the US etc. so i took up multi boxing so i could find groups etc (ended up 6 boxing groups myself). wasnt using software or anything to assist with it, just additional clients and alt tabing between them etc.

personally i cant see the harm in it? unless i guess it could degrade the value of community and grouping? yeah... just looking for a little more on why its not allowed please.
