They have such a minuscule player base these days, they probably figure they would lose more customers by allowing boxing than losing the customers who are boxers, and with the small revenue stream they have every penny counts now to them.

I used to box DOAC, which was especially fun in RVR.

But, then Mythic came along with Trials of Atlantis expansion, tailored the game for high power guilds and raids, shafted the casual player base, and killed the game. There was a mass exodus with that expansion, and the game has been dying a slow death ever since.

It's a real shame because they got the whole battleground and world PVP thing right with RVR. Nothing I've seen from any other MMORPG even comes close.
