Playing Two Accounts at once

by Saltn » Sat Jun 27, 2015 8:39 pm

First, let me say that this question is not intended to offend, and I am not attempting to create drama, but I am trying to determine if it is acceptable to play two accounts at once from two different computers. In all my years playing WOW I have had two characters that I leveled up together. People keep telling me that there are grey lines on this server. I don't use any controlling software. I simple have two keyboards and have one of my characters follows my other. And though this will make some people roll their eyes.. I mash keys on both keyboards.

I am trying to determine if this is acceptable on this server or not. I am hoping that someone with authority might answer my question, and please know again that I am just inquiring.

Kind regards,
Saltn

Rules are pretty clear: You can't play two accounts at the same time - with enchanting and banking as only exceptions.

There aren't grey lines on this server. Everything's spelled out in the terms of use including playing multiple accounts (Multiboxing).

It's not allowed and can lead to a ban of one of the characters followed by both if repeated. You're only allowed to play multiple characters for banking and profession purposes, such as crafting gear, items, or enchanting your other character.

First of all, there in fact are grey lines for this server, and the rules simply aren't consistent when it comes to multi-boxing.

According to the rules:

1. You are NOT aloud to simultaneously play two characters at once.
2. You ARE allowed to be LOGGED into TWO accounts at once ONLY if you are ENCHANTING or CRAFTING gear for another character..

Call it what you want - but Enchanting, Crafting, whatever it may be, is still "playing" the game. Though you aren't gaining XP to level you are gaining skill for that profession and thus getting a heads up when you shouldn't (the original game wasn't made that way, * cough* CD KEYS). That takes away from people's professions. We all know the game wasn't meant to be made that way... So this is obviously a rule that heirs specifically to the developers of this server to their own personal bias, which I have no problem with - but I'm just saying it's not consistent.

Let's look at another point
Here --> https://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8#p13 states that you can QUE up for a BG with your main, & while he is in QUE you can log on another character and play your ALT. Once your main has got the QUE you must LOG off your ALT and then proceed to play with your main. This is the most hypocritical rule I've ever seen. You're using a advantage to play two characters at the same time! Though not simultaneously, but at the same time!

My Solution: Do it how it should be - Don't let people log on two different characters at once, otherwise let them multi-box as long as they aren't using any third-party programs. What's the harm?

Just my 2 cents. Love the server by the way.

I appreciate all of the user responses, but I was hoping for a GM response.
