Boxing Is The Plague Of EQ

Discussion in 'Time Locked Progression Servers' started by Efr3, Mar 25, 2024.

    Because the moment this becomes untrue DBG is an asset on a balance sheet. EQ is a P&L.


    Then P99 and Project Quarm will be your only options for playing EQ.

    That is why it is your only two choices...

    What work does a full group of non boxers do that a boxers does not also do?

    The third choice is to cancel my account. Which I did. That’s the only way anything ever changes.
  4. Soriano Augur

    Cancelling you account leaves you with P99 and Project Quarm...lol

    I guess you could play EQ free to play, but you will not like and the boxers will still be there.

    Teamwork.

    Sharing and splitting loot and plat instead of hording groups worth on one person.

    Actual interaction, engagement, and community building in an MMO instead of hermiting on your own behind a fortress of boxes, making the world feel dead and lonely.

    No, I’m just not gonna play EQ. The cons outweigh the pros so I’m just not playing it. But if you think I have issues with EQ Live. I won’t even start with pirate, I mean, private servers.

    Cool story then boxing no longer matters to you since you quit and cancelled your accounts....

    Can I have your stuff??? LMAO

    So a 6 boxer does not have to use team work with his 6 characters?

    What part of sharing loot is work?

    The 6 boxer has to get 6 drops...

    one person still has to equip all 6 characters.

    Somebody already did this one. Y'all's jokes are about as relevant as this game. Both were great back in 1999.

    The company aims to have a specific number of accounts per server. So the more boxes there are, the lower the proportion of humans gradually becomes throughout the whole game. You contribute to thinning out humanity whether you're the most considerate boxer in the world or not.
  11. Soriano Augur

    Which server prevents you from creating a character on it due to max allowed accounts?

    let me save you the trouble NONE do that.

    Every BOX is an account...No one plays two characters from the same account at the same time.

    Anymore complete nonsense you wish to spout on this issue? LMAO

    Can the insults. And boxers can play on a boxing server, while the rest of us play on one that bans it. Happiness for all.

    Nor is it even clear that a six-boxer's five extra accounts make up for the dozens -- potentially hundreds - of casual players they drive off the server.

    Funny I just spent a year on a TLP starting in -- gasp! -- 2023, and from Classic till Velious grouped every single day with new players without ever ONCE grouping with a boxer. From Velious to PoP, getting a 2-boxer in group was often unavoidable, and post PoP, the boxers ruled. Them's the facts.

    Calling someone stupid is an insult...

    Calling them ignorant is simply an observation, they are not stupid they CHOSE to not understand.

    And there were an absolute ton of boxers on Oakwynd I played on it also...including 6 box bard groups.
  14. Zalphos Augur


    The company creates and destroys servers primarily based on population, which it measures through active accounts, not humans. So every extra box ultimately results in one fewer human on a server, even if no one unsubscribes. You thin out the humanity of this game.

    Take some initiative and show DPG how big the anti-box community is. Build a guild on Tormax, and show that it can attract thousands.
  16. Soriano Augur

    The company merges servers when active population drops...a completely inactive Fippy was merged to Vox.

    The company only creates new servers to attract more players. Older servers do not attract players.

    At no point in 25 years has Everquest put a limit on the number accounts per server...

    Me having two accounts on one server in no way prohibits another human from creating an account on that server.

    A boxer does nothing to thin the humans as you call it...lol

    PS the bolded statement in the quote of your post is a complete lie...

    If everyone started boxing twice as much and no one left, we would eventually end up with twice as many servers, each with half the humanity it had before.

    How DARE people have fun in a game in a different way than myself? Ban this, ASAP! Also, ban all foods I dont like, and for sure the music I hate as well, those that listen to that are clearly wrong, just like those evil boxers!

    I'd ban the food you liked if you were eating dogs, and I'd ban the music you liked if you were waking up your neighbors.
