There goal is to encourage people to group up and figure out content and raids I like it just been to busy playing real life lol soon things calm down I'm coming back this is an awesome server
I've never had much of a problem with boxing. It's boxing combined with MQ that can make things frustrating for non-boxers. Glad to see it isn't forbidden on this server (and hopefully MQ is forbidden...)

MQ is allowed, but no automating or warp.

The boxing decision was basically to let people play the way they want - if they want to box 6 they can. But as mjbcb0717 said, it is complete overkill. Nothing requires 6 box's, and our custom encounters are being designed with mechanics in mind rather than pure damage output which often means you are going to need a person at the controls of at least half the characters in group to succeed. (Until completely overgearing content as usual).

Our goal is to try and cater to as many play styles as we can - mechanics based encounters for those that want to group up and learn stuff, solo stuff for those that don't. We will also include some really difficult tank & spank style encounters for the 6-boxer as well.

As an example, our new expansion has 2 factions you can side with. If you side with the Vampire Hunters against Mayong and his legions, you can do our raid encounter which involves killing Mayong cronies - this is obviously group content. If, however, you choose to side with the Vampires instead you will proceed along a bunch of solo style quests which will eventually lead you to max faction and being able to quest *FOR* Mayong and his minions (Think Veeshan's Peak / ToV style).

Sounds neat. I may roll up a character or two this weekend.
