Truebox is broken - remove it from the game

Fight one mob, cast a spell from two different characters and all is good. Wait 10 seconds, cast another spell, all good. 5 seconds later, disconnected.... Meanwhile, box army of automation nearby chain pulls spamming pets and dds with no issues.

It was never good. Just remove it.

use a VPN on one of the machines

I keep getting trueboxed and im not using any programs or cheats. I just randomy get disconnected on 2-3 laptops, even on one whos sitting there medding. makes zero sense.

No thank you

Oh nos! It doesn't work perfectly, better throw the entire thing away!
Same tune about oakwynd, yet everyone who actually plays there (after all the rmt bots left) love the lack of toxicity the no training/ksing brought.

"I want to box *stomps feet" thats all i'm reading

who cares if they keep truebox or not, i just want it to work properly. i know i dont want to be without it, but i also dont wanna be disconnected for following the rules lol

Except they fixed most of the FTE issues they found. They've known the truebox code is bad for 6+ years and never corrected the issue.

no thx

it's so over

I think it would be better if each server had a specific boxing limit (or none at all) rather than truebox. If they're going to restrict boxing, then it should be consistent for each player. If they're going to allow boxing, then they shouldn't make it a nuisance.

In the meantime though... I do think it's better to have truebox than not, incredibly flawed though it is.

But what is their actual reasoning for having it in the first place? I thought this company loved boxers.

I am no fan of true box....think it is foolish....but that is a different story...lol

but that said I do not think it is true box that is kicking you it is over population of the zone you are in messing with the connectivity.

The main reason they keep true box until Omens of War is true box prevents players from using the most popular automation software known for EQ. Said program does not work on characters that are on a different PC.

... Wut? It's been like 10-12 years since I played on a private server that allowed it, but that very much was not the case back then. Maybe it's changed architecture majorly since then but everything used to just communicate on a private IRC server.

We must be talking about different 3rd party software then.

Went and looked on the crimson guidance (har har) site and nope, unless you're thinking of something super niche it's all networked and doesn't require running on one machine.

I'm not going to link it but a quick search will tell you how to spread your miraclewhip across 3-6 laptops so they're all tasty.
