In my opinion, one IP or 10 IP's allowed, in really does boil down to player preference, rather than the administration of the servers.

As nice as it sounds to say, "let the players decide", at the end of the day, everyone on the server has to play in the same world, wait for mobs on the same respawn, and be on the same economy (or lack thereof in most cases) as everyone does. So, having some players who box and some who don't doesn't really work, it'll just end in the players who decide to multibox dominating the whole server and the ones who choose to play a single character left in the dust.

Maybe one could think about a voting poll to see how many EQEmu players prefer
to play with more than one account ?

Not a bad idea, it'll at least show if there is a population who agrees that there should be at least some servers with this feature.

Seriously though if you have not given Legacy of FrostStone a fair shake then stop by. If you are the boxer, MQer or like instant gratification then the server is not for you.

I have yet to give this a try. I was under the impression that only P99 didn't allow boxing! I'll be trying it soon.

Non-custom servers are niche. P99 fills that niche.
There's no need to have another P99, unless you want 'bits of custom design/direction/content' in your server.
If you limit boxing, you can't have a healthy population. Why would anyone play on your classic everquest server over P99? You have to be engaging more than that.

Huh? There are quite a few non-custom servers. Look at PEQ. There would be plenty of need to have other non-custom servers if they were for different expansion. I for one would love to see an LoY-based 'classic' server. I didn't like EQ pre-PoP (Yes, I know that makes me a faggot.)

There is nothing wrong with having a 2 or even 3 box limit, it doesnt change the game, it just gives people options. What american doesn't like options?
|
I never said I opposed this solution. 2 or 3 box limit is not a bad idea, because there would still be plenty of content that you would need to cooperate with other players to do. 2 box would probably be ideal until a server started getting a decent population, at least.
I should clarify, that I'm not saying every server should have this limit. I just find it very odd that P99 and apparently this LoF server are the only ones that use it. It really adds to the experience in my opinion.
