You will kill everything fun about building a community if you multibox and destroy grouping. Later down the line when the server thins out, sure, roll some boxes out. But right from the get go? That will utterly destroy the spirit of this awesome venture.
Me too!! If you see me out boxing and you want to join my group just ask! I am happy to include most folks. Unless I am so AFK that it wouldn't be worth it for you.
Boxing makes Daybreak money, and this game is too hard for most people to give up boxing. It's not going away anytime soon my friend. P99 is nice if you want a real classic server with no boxing.
Same, I'll likely box 2 characters only this time around, while playing with my g/f and possibly another rl friend of ours. There'll be room in the group, as long as you ask nicely. I'm a nice guy by default. But if you come with an attitude or demand that I put away my boxed character, or say crap like you'll train me if I don't stop boxing like it happened last progression server, then don't expect to see a nice guy.
Dual boxing doesn't do this, at least for me. I'll be doing two toons, but I still want to group, just don't want to be massively slowed down if I can't find a group while also helping out my buddy who is single boxing.
Boxing also causes cancer, AIDS, and diabetes too, right? You play how you want, and I'll play how I want because America.
I really don't think people who like to box are going to destroy anything. You're not going to have a problem finding your groups and community. A lot of people enjoy boxing and it isn't reasonable to ask anyone to give that up. Besides, from the replies here and what I've seen, most boxers are more than happy to make room for others looking for a group. Also, there are those of us who just really aren't all that into grouping. There's nothing wrong with that. The server is there for everyone, regardless of play style. It never was intended for any one group of people only.
I boxed in 2000..started just after Kunark launch and knew lots of others who boxed in classic, so it is classic play!
I spit soda through my nose when I read this. I was debating on boxing 2 or 3 toons. After reading this post, I am going to box 4.
It's coming up to 16 years of boxing on EQ. It's a a TLP server in the base EQ game. Boxing is classic for me. How about you mind your own business, and just play your game your way? That, plus I don't group with people who tell me how to spend my entertainment time and money.
LOL. I thought the spirit of good old EQ was the community helping each other. Who cares if the help comes from a boxer?
i cant wait till some of these anti box people see their first group of 12 mages obviously being boxed by one person. will their head explode? will they disappear in a puff of rage logic? so exciting
