I think the final two lines that resume attack are too slow and cumbersome, so I just do a super quick tab and hit attack again. Oh, and typical to see the P99 forum full of whiners who claim this is exploiting.

The guy's probably just logging chat for data on prices for stuff sold for one reason or another, maybe to make sure he never misses a deal on a good item or for data tracking for a website.

hayden. posted:If Barhoom is on 24 7 isn't the account owner almost certainly dual boxing? Could be someone boxing a blue trader while playing red too, which is allowed on p99, although significantly less common now that they don't let people xfer plat between servers. Auction tracker's the most likely though. Boxing's a lot more common than you'd think on p99. Easily 1/3rd of red players are blatantly obvious with it, and open about it if you ask. That's not even counting the people who make any attempt at hiding it. Tashan Dorrsett fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Mar 30, 2016 |

Maybe I was just never any good at the game but how would boxing even work? You just turn on auto attack with your tank character and heal him with your cleric?

A Strange Aeon posted:Maybe I was just never any good at the game but how would boxing even work? You just turn on auto attack with your tank character and heal him with your cleric? For the most part, yes. One character tanks and does damage while another slows and/or heals. The amount of content a decent monk/shaman combo can duo vs. what a solo monk or shaman can do is massive. It's a huge advantage.

People who seriously box have software so they can control both computers from a single one, or have two instances running on the same machine. Then you have keybinds for one character and different keybinds for another character. Some people just switch back and forth, but other people drive both at the same time. Then you have this guy: http://igolg.blogspot.com/2008/10/player-has-36-accounts-raids-by-himself.html

I thought so too until I joined a friend on PEQ. That server had a very low population so they permitted boxing multiple accounts. Seeing hordes of characters running around the plane of knowledge was not uncommon. There were some excellent guides on how to set up your own raid force. When I quit I was up to 16 characters. Each one had macros that would auto heal, buff, attack, etc. The only limiting factor was how much RAM your computer has. Until I tried that server I had no idea how much you could automate.

I never thought boxing was a bad thing until I played on that Everquest Live Progression server awhile back. Literally everywhere I went was dominated by mage box squads. Mage pets were super overpowered, so every box squad was a ton of mages and maybe a druid for ports/heals. I didn't last long there.

Magesquad (after luclin mage/blord squads) were legit kind of shockingly effective in EQ up to at least PoP. Your beastlord provided buffs and mob slows, mages provided summoned gear for the blord pets which made them way more effective. Even so, it doesn't match up to the hilarity that was Luclin era Wizard manaburn squads. 6 wizards all casting it simultaneously could kill pretty much any Kunark world spawn dragon on command. Back in the day on my old server there was a group of wizards that controlled all Kunark dragon drops by virtue of how quickly they could assemble and blow poo poo up.

I started as a halfling druid on project 1999 in 2010. I played in groups till 14, waiting for sow; then soloed pretty much to 60. A group of players noticed me around a lot when they were and I sold them lots of ports so they asked me to join their, as they called it, family guild. I noticed a few odd things like they had a wizard porter account that would log on just to port us to sky. I thought they were going to use me for free ports but it just turned out they didn’t have a druid and didn’t want druid drops going to waste. We would port up to sky when we heard the fairies were up, we would just take them from whomever was up there, we didn’t care we just wanted out island one drops. We did fear a few times and I probably killed 25 gorgons or more and never got one druid item to drop. Then the server staff really laid the hammer down and banned/deleveled people from 60 to 54. My guild leader was deleveled along with over half the guild. I was about 57 when I apped to The Mystical Order. I was able to level up with them working on VP key parts. I grinded out 59 in perma bear pits with a 4 pack of red bull, only need 2. TMO had lots of druids which let us mobilize pretty quickly. I found a nice role as a mini group leader. My favorite raid group was 5 wizards plus me as a druid. It was nice, the wizards and mages would ask me for invites and sometimes when we got 40+ turn outs, I would end up forming several groups. I would invite a chanter that was doing a /tell for GRM, the chanter would like WTF there are no people here, and then boom I would have several others join, pass off leader ship and form up another group. Some wizards held out on group invites when they knew I was at a raid. Being able to notice that we only have say like one bard and getting that bard with the MT warrior was key to quick engages too. The batphone would go out, I would log on and start making groups. A raid leader or officer would check numbers while they were logging in, like asking how many we have at Trak ledge. The officer would be told something like we got 20. The officer would say, well form up groups and get buffs. And it was real nice when that was already happening before someone with authority showed up. I really enjoyed raiding Kunark as TMO, it was fun playing the underdog to IB and then server bad guy to everyone else. We ran the poopsockers out of Trak’s lair, we got to enjoy it all of 2011. We had something like 18 months of uncontested VP kills. So bragging that my 60 druid has the server 7th or 8th Crown of Rile is kinda neat but was not easy to get. One had to have something like a 60% raid attendance, lots of tracking hours, and have hundreds of DKP earned up. By the time I hit the 1000 DKP club there were like 20 full time TMO members with that number or greater with something like a roster of 60+ active players. But raiding Kunark also burned me out to raiding and now I just lurk around on my chanter alt some. I am like 32 hanging out in FM giant fort, a cool iskar warrior talked a pick up group of 6 to do a Nurga to Droga crawl and it was a blast.

These days I box 4 characters in Live EQ, using a piece of software called ISBoxer to distribute keypresses. It's so much fun. It also doesn't have to be expensive, since you can box free account characters just fine. I find it crazy that the first batch of recent TLP servers were so filled with 6-boxers; that's at least $50 per month when using black market-bought Kronos, or close to $100 if subscribing officially.
