question about multibox

[Bloodyheart]

hello i have a question, is it against the rules to query the auction house from my bank account while being logged in the main account?thanks

[Mimma]

That is one of the few exception which is actually legal.

Is your main also in the capital city or is it out in the world questing/farming/grinding/instancing? If the former, I think it's okay, but I'm not sure about the latter.

would like an official answer please

It'd be nice to have the answer to this!

Can bank account sit in town and do /auc scan while play account is playing the game away from town?

Does the Terms of Use count as an official answer?

Clarification on multiboxing

Multiboxing refers to playing multiple separate characters simultaneously. This can either be achieved by using multiple separate machines to run the game or by running multiple separate instances of the game. It is against the rules to /follow level characters, run dungeons or raids with multiple characters, PvP with multiple characters, etc. There are only a few situations where multiboxing is allowed in Nostalrius, e.g.:

Trading items between accounts.
Professions, as long as no farming is involved;
i.e. You can have two characters ingame simultaneously for crafting, enchanting, or trading purposes.

Each multi-box case will be judged individually.

Viper has also posted a thread that did not get a sticky: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=2812

I can safely say that I have scanned the auction house on my bank toon just to transfer over the scan to my main's savedvariables and I'm pretty sure Profitbank multiboxes since he's usually online on my friends. As far as I know, my bank account and Profitbank are not banned.

Ozzum. And yeah, the TOS is not 100% clear. It says you can have two characters doing professions simultaneously, but it doesn't state you can have one in town and one in the field.

Just my interpretation of it. But yeah, I might have to make an alt for this!

edit: where are my manners? Thanks for clearing this up.

Hi guys,

I have read in terms of use that it is not allowed to help a low level character to do quests or dungeons with your another account and a high level character with Alt+Tab.

But is it allowed if my high level friend will help me? So if it is a separate account and another real player is playing it? is it ok?

Also a question about gankers. Is it allowed to get my high level character in a place where my lowbie is ganked to protect him? just standing near so that he is secured.

I dont wanna intentionally kill low levels just protecting my alt wit presence.

If only one of the characters is logged in at a time, then it is legal.
If you have both characters logged in and alt-tab between them, then it is multiboxing, and bannable.
