Nasomi only allows 2 mains so dualboxing wouldn't be like one person playing an entire dunes PT by themself. At "worst" there would only be 3 unique people playing an entire party.

Ahh reminds me of my AF dorm days we had 6 person static all playing in the same room.

LOL I did that with my friends, brother, and cousin in highschool. We had an entire 6 person PT if we were all able to get on at the same time. There were two times that happened and we had to move the couch in from the other room but then the internet shut down one of those times so we put a disk of Family Guy in each of our ps2s/pcs and hit play at the same time and noticed all the cutaways happened at basically the same exact time and had similar types of jokes

We have about 800 players peak right now, of which a large quantity are dual boxed. Retail servers had 3,000+ at prime era.

About 75% of all characters online at any given time are controlled by a unique IP, so your estimate is way off.


You're not going to lose just 1 account if you limit dual boxers, you'll lose both, because most dual boxers will quit. That was my point. :P

Honestly, you should just box if you want to box. However, unless Nasomi has gone on record saying specifically that dual-boxing will never, for any reason, be made against the rules, I wouldn't totally discount the possibility, however small it may be. Its his server and he can and will do whatever he wants, when he wants, for whatever reason he wants.

Well, given what Nabutso just said, you're only looking at 'losing' a quarter of the population. And probably not even that. If he decided to stop allowing dual boxing I might be a bit disheartened, but I'd still play. And there really wouldn't be much difference cause most of the time I'm only using 1 character in the field anyway. The other is piddling with the AH, crafting, fishing, or grabbing food for the character I have in party.

He would also have to fix the mail system so you could effectively use your mule if you were limited to one character at a time. If one day the mail is turned back on, we know he's considering limiting dual boxing.

I'd be more worried about 7 item sales limit on the AH being implemented than dual boxing being removed at this point. :lol:

I never realized how restrictive the 7 item limitation on retail was until I got to this server. Removing that restriction allows the economy to absolutely THRIVE.

I was being entirely serious. Unless Nasomi has explicitly stated that he will never remove dual-boxing under any circumstances, there's always going to be a chance, however slim, that he may decide to. For all we know, the server may continue to grow at such an explosive rate that it is unable to keep up and may even necessitate such a measure, even if just temporarily until the hardware gets another upgrade. Again, speculation, but you never know.

TL:DR OP you should box if you want to as its highly unlikely to be removed anytime soon.
