[FiestaFan]Some light shed on multi clienting.

The way I see it, the same person running multiple accounts, whether it be on the same computer or different computers, is bannable. So technically, what Spirit (vending account on the third computer) is bannable. However, her son playing on the second computer is not bannable.

ah sry i re-read the msg... "running multiple accounts is not allowed" - assuming he means for 1 person..

So even 1 person running two game on two separate computer is not allowed.

OK agree with Nav...

Then... does that imply 1 person should only have 1 account? Or it's OK to have more than 1 account, as long as we dont play them at the same time?

Yeah, I sent him a second PM afterwards, but I didn't add it to the announcement, but here it is, and his reply:

That is incorrect, they have their own accounts, they are not sharing accounts, nor do they have more than one account. That is perfectly fine and good.

It reinforces what I said in my previous post.

Yeah ok so basically... 1 account per person.... kekeke

[Albireo]

Well if thats the case then how come we (people) cant make more than four characters per account.
That limit is the only reason i would be inclined to make another account.
I have a char for each class and say i want to try another mage, with a different build or somthing, im not going to delete one of my other characters.

[Blaaaaaaaah]

No no.

We are not limited one account per person.

However, we are limited to only playing one account at a time.

See the difference there?

Well, my third account is not just for vending. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the account is also used for when someone else in my house of 6 wants to play. So, althouth I do use it for vending, that is not the sole purpose of the account. It has 4 characters on it, all at various levels, depending on how much other people play there characters. So I should be good.

Would this not be account sharing though?

Hmmm.... good point. But, they said one person cannot have mutiple accounts, not multiple people having one account. But, it still goes back to it would be a hard issue to prove. If my four kids all have one character on one account, how could that be bannable or proved. I think they should be more concerned about getting rid of the spammers, bots, and macros user, than whether or not people putting money into the cash shop have more than one account, as long as they are not running those multiple accounts on the same computer at the same time.

Yeah... as the mods said before, this is to clarify that, even though they may not be able to prove it, it's still bannable. This is to stop people posting methods on how to do dual accounts on 1 computer.

And this is like any other rule/law/regulation... if you drink drive, but you didnt get caught, you're still free of trouble. But if they do catch you, in one way or another, you've broken the law and they can arrest you.

So I reckon if they do happen to find people abusing this rule, the GMs have all the right to ban them.
