Pantheon: Rise of the fallen

I don't know the role(s) that either of the two voices from the audio stream play at the company, but even at the end of the two statements, the Australian guy said, "But, again, no hard stance [against multiboxing]. We can have a look at it through testing and see what happens, and then make our mind up as we go forward."

One is the community & web manager and the person giving that statement is the creative director. I did feel like there was a slight hint of the door being left open just ever so slightly, but at this point I would not be willing to purchase any copies without getting direct confirmation. Wait and see I suppose, but I am less than hopeful given the change.

I believe the current stance right now is, to have MB servers, and non-boxing servers IF there seems to be demand for multiboxing.

The "boxing" servers will also have buff bot/heal bot type characters falling under their umbrella. Buff bot/heal bot don't actually refer to bots for those who might not know. It refers to people who play the game with a second character to buff and heal their character while leveling so that they can do content while solo more efficiently. It's something that was very common in older MMOs like EQ and DAOC.

So people who want to do that will have to play on boxer servers, whether or not they are really multiboxing the way it has evolved. Which is good, more demand for boxing servers means more likely we will get a boxing servers.

Do you happen to have a source on this?

While I'd be delighted that there would be some way for us to try this game out, I find it odd that a company would specifically set up servers for this purpose alone. I get that there could be an incentive to do so, if there is enough interest, but drumming up enough interest is a bit unlikely until it's more definitive than "we might do it".

EQ live classic servers do this and EMUs have "box..true box ( meaning one account per PC) limited boxing.. like only 2 or 3 etc.. or no boxing allowed. So i am guessing they are talking about this.. but its not documented.. it was mentioned in a dev rountables. They have never said 100% How they will deal with it. The best you can get out of anything they have said is that IF they allow it, they will want to make sure boxers follow the play nice policy type thing. You would have to go to youtube and listen to the many dev roundtables and google multiboxing in Pantheon to get the info.
