Totally and utterly devastated - many many hours creating chars for the pure enjoyment of the game whilst under the misguided impression I was acting within the 'spirit' of the game

Even went to the lengths of introducing myself, the team and my playstyle/equipment to servers and getting GM approvals - now, after all those hours, to have had the rug pulled out from under my feet is just totally...not cool and quite misleading

If SOE is serious about this they really need to re-word their EULA to clearly state what is considered botting, etc. That would only be fair.

As for locking a thread on the main SOE forum which directly relates to this new stance is also strange. Yes, they may be trying to stop a flame fight but the information, and SOEs stance, will be lost to new comers to the forums as the post will quickly sink to the bottom of the pile and never be seen or heard from again. Absolute shame.

So many people are now openly talking about boxing on eq2flames - you can't tell me they are all 'iron man boxing' (bashing seperate keyboards) - seriously, it's a new century - upgraded software and hardware solutions are coming out on a daily basis - multiboxing IS a valid playstyle

This is really a pretty large spike in the wheels in regards to multiboxing on all SOE run mmporgs (EQ2, EQ, Vanguard, etc)

Still shaking my head - many hours gone

Rat army retired

NB: Honestly, guys and gals who play other mmporgs - be really wary of this new stance by SOE - it COULD effect you in whatever game you currently play no matter who created it - the end of modern mboxing for all?
