Anti-boxing servers

[Burningsoul]

Just go play on Shards of dalaya. you and the three other boxers who have the end game on lockdown will love it.

Or just make your own and call it "Boxers Roxers", then you and 8 other people can permacamp the whole game.

I detest your idea that a solo character is "boring as shit". So take your elitist attitude about how we need to cater to your whims and shove it.

Relax friend.

It seems like so many recent servers are 100% against boxing. The thought process seems to be that if players play multiple characters then they won't be willing to group with other players and the server will die.

It has nothing to do with grouping.

In brief, trying to implement balanced content that accommodates both boxers and non boxers is nearly an impossible task. Ultimately leading the disenfranchisement of the non-boxers leaving you with a server with a high population but low actual player count. This is not what any developer strives for and it is not representative of a healthy server.

Pretty much what Kayen said,

If you balance a game around boxing then the non-boxing player will not be able to keep up. If you balance the game around non-boxing but allow people to box then content becomes trivial for a single person who boxes.

Disallowing boxing allows for better balance.

That being said, there are plenty of servers that allowing boxing to accommodate those who wish to box.

And you obvious elitist attitude is better? Pot meet kettle.

I personally boxed 2 on live from less than I year after I started. I do find solo playing tedious and less fun. Does not mean shit. Everyone has their own preference and there are currently servers catering to pretty much all of them.

That is the point of this project after all. To let people make the servers they want, how they want.

Demanding server operators to run their server a certain way is a little silly. Isn't there like a French phrase that applies here?

For me is exactly the oposite.
I played for a bit on EZ server, where people are allowed to box as many as I could see in the zone. I entered this Tier 3 or w/e zone saw a guy boxing 31 chars... I asked if I could join on the last spot and grab any rots... he just said to fuck off and go box...

Like why would you do that? If you are going to box and not play with other players just create your own server and play alone!

In the other hand if the server population is below 50 players and you cant box, the chances are ou will never find a group.

In my honest opinion a max of 2, maybe 3 should be allowed if the server population is low.

In my honest opinion, it's up the the developer(s)/owner(s) of each individual server, ya'know, the people putting the time and effort in to it. They may entertain notions and discussions of changing that if presented to them, especially if presented in a clear, concise and coherent manner.

I hate to hit that horse one more time, but if your ideal server isn't out there, there's no better time than now to learn the skills necessary to host your own.
