The placeholders roam roughly in the area circled below: http://i.imgur.com/ILqMfg7.jpg The rest of the guide is accurate, except for the placeholder list. I've seen placeholders spawn that were not on the list, but I can't recall the exact names. This camp is also one of the most brutal in the game in my opinion. Since the placeholders spawn every 30 seconds and then wander off into the wild blue yonder, you can't take a break and you basically can't take your eyes off of the screen. Have fun!

Welp, just got a 30 day suspension. My wife and I have separate accounts and we did file for an IP exception. She had gone to bed, and I logged in one of her characters to do a quick item transfer before the night was over. Then Braknar Stonebeard shows up demanding to do a two-box test. He says if I admit to it I get a suspension, and if we fail the test it's a permaban. My wife had already gone to bed, so I just figured whatever I'll admit to it. Got other poo poo I can do for 30 days. Have fun guys, and don't you dare item transfer solo! The worst of offenses apparently!

That sucks man, but 2boxing with an IP exemption is, as you've discovered, a really bad idea considering you've already red-flagged yourself for the guides/GMs. Everyone with an exemption is subject to occasional scrutiny, so it's playing with fire to be 2boxing for even quick transfers or ports or whatever. That said, it does suck that people like you are getting popped rather than the dudes who are PLing themselves etc. using VPNs or smartphone tethers - it's just way easier to catch people with an exemption.

Agreed, if you tether your smarthphone and are just doing an item transfer the odds of getting caught have gotta be incredibly slim.

Drop transfer everything. Find an out of the way area to do it and be quick. I've never had an item rot and have done over 100k of items like this, you have about 5 minutes before it poofs so if your internet doesn't randomly die you should be okay. Unless this is an EC banker that can't move. Then just post in the thread and find a goon or learn who the non-shitlords are in non-poo poo guilds. onesixtwo fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Jun 17, 2015 |

the last signal... posted:Agreed, if you tether your smarthphone and are just doing an item transfer the odds of getting caught have gotta be incredibly slim. This.. just use a VPN or tether. It's basically impossible for them to catch as long as you're only doing it occasionally and are only logged in for a short period of time. Worst case, you admit to it and get a 30 day break to do other poo poo.

Yeah, I assume they have some script always running that shows when two clients connect from the same address. Funny that they will police the jaywalking-level offenses, but that they basically can't do anything to anyone who VPNs and does whatever they want. I even told him "look I'm only doing this one quick transfer, it's not like I'm leveling these characters together to avoid groups..." He shot back with "you're lucky I didn't permaban you on the spot for lying to me at first and not admitting it right away.  "Okay buddy.

Siets posted:they basically can't do anything to anyone who VPNs and does whatever they want This isn't true though - it's pretty impossible for them to detect light boxing w/VPNs etc. but they nail people for self-PLing or duoing loot camps rather frequently - it just takes longer for them to establish conclusive proof. I was doing Chardok AE the other night and saw a 60 enchanter and his proxy alt get popped. And he is right that he could have perma'd you. They are usually pretty pissed at people who have exemptions abusing them to 2box, so you did get lucky (assuming you want to come back and play again). Just don't 2box unless you don't really mind getting banned, it's that simple. And if you do get caught, welp, it's not the GM's fault for enforcing the rules.

I dunno, I guess I really don't see the harm of transferring an item. To me, that's a way different ball-game than two boxing to PL or farm item camps. Like others have said, I could have (and should have) just drop transferred and the exact same net result would have occurred in the exact same length of time. I was stupid for not doing it, but it was an FBSS that represented a substantial portion of my current net worth and it just did not occur to me as being that big of a deal. You even said yourself many pages ago that they let folks on Red get away with boxed transfers, ports, and other low-level infractions all the time because in the end it's really not affecting the game world all that much. The way I see it, the only gameplay experience I am denying the gameworld is the chance for some jerk to rip off my FBSS. If I'm missing something here, by all means let me know though. And for the record, my wife and I did play together a little bit in the beginning. That was the original reason for the request, not because I thought I was being granted a license to box or anything.

Alternatively play on red where they don't police this if you wanna 2 box. Also the correct way to 2 box is to not have an IP exemption because that just draws extra attention.

I don't think it ever worked.

It's funny how the exact same files of this game operate so differently from computer to computer. On one computer, whenever you enter a zone like Greater Faydark, it drops your connection for a bit, then picks back up either perfectly fine or desynced (can't interact with mobs but they can attack and kill you). Other zones work perfectly fine. On another computer, I drop back to login every other time I zone. And then it sometimes doesn't want me to get back on. Stalls at the login screen, gives me blank server lists, sends me to the wrong server, sends me to the right server but no characters, sends me to a character list that tells me I have the wrong spell data, sends me back to login after selecting a character. Two other computers work fine, no problems. Same OS, same options, same EQ files, same IP. I don't get it. Some ghosts must be haunting these computers or something but just for EQ.

I don't think it ever worked. Alternately, back when I was first playing and started up a Wood Elf Ranger in GFay, someone dropped backpacks full of really expensive poo poo in Kelethin that I wound up picking up. I wound up with some high-end jewelry items (3 Platinum Ruby Veils) and gear that I'm pretty sure was meant to be drop-transferred to their Warrior alt (full set of Bronze armor, Cutthroat Rings, etc). I sold it all in EC tunnel for a chunk of 5,000pp, bought myself a FBSS and a pair of SSoYs, and was the coolest Ranger on Tribunal that hadn't been to Fear to loot rotting armor for a couple weeks.

Anyone still on red server? I have a static trio that's about to hit 50+ and it's going to be time to roll a new round of alts soon. We're going to be powerleveling and bard swarming, so if anyone feels like AFKing their way to level ~45 you're more than welcome to join. Also joined the red server <TMO> the other day and I'm digging this guild quite a bit. Much chiller environment than empire/goog guys/whatever. Two weeks on the server from level 1 and they're doing cleric epics and planar raids.

re: boxing, you're actually allowed to play on red and blue at the same time, which means you can be doing tunnelquest while playing on red server. you'd be a fool to try farming to get rich on blue, if you want to make blue plat quickly farm on red server and trade your plat over to blue. less camp competition, better camp rules, red plat is worth 3-4x as much, and you can be making plat as a tunnel rat at the same time. if you farm on a character deleveled to 49 or less you will never have to deal with pvp. edit: yes, this does mean that one ancient cyclops camp on red gets you 15-20k on blue you will eventually get banned for box xferring items, it has happened to several people i know.

Seems like there's a lot of interest! Since the timing is going to be tentatively "sometime next week" the best way to organize this will be to send a tell to me on red (Hardon, Robocop, Blackzilla, Anime, Naix) with the code word "potato chips" and your cell phone number if you want to get a text when it's happening. No exact promises/guarantees on the timing, except that I promise you'll be 50 before Velious. Priority is first come first served, starts from level 1, pickups at any druid ring (please don't be in Qeynos area) and I will post on here around when it's happening. You may catch me AFK swarming, so if you don't get a tell back try me again later. edit: oh yeah are froglok illusion pots worth anything on blue, I'm abandoning blue but not really sure if they're worth enough to bother xferring.
