Multi-boxing

Hey guys,
I got pulled into gm island for multiboxing, I had 2 accounts running at the same time one just leveling and the other was doing deals and I have now received a final warning as I didn't understand. I just want to clarify as I thought multiboxing was like a hunter with like 100pets going around 1 shotting things. A guy messaged me conveniently about 3mins after i got back from gm island and he said he was running 2 accounts at the same time and wisped me on both and said it wasn't multiboxing so i'm confused so if anyone is able to clear up what is multiboxing as i don't want to have my account banned
Thanks guys

Multiboxing is having two clients open - simple as that.

You "only" got a warning, so now you know what not to do ;-) - next time will be a perma-ban.

I think there needs to be something that states it in the rules clearer as loads of people are doing it and its not fair that people are able to get away with it and some get banned

Is it classed as multiboxing if you have 2 clients open on 2 different computers?

Greetings,

you can only have two clients open at the same time if you are in a capital, for either portalling or conjuring food/water or enchanting/crafting or trading between them. These reasons only - everything else will be punished under multiboxing. If you suspects someone of multiboxing, please make a GM ticket and we will investigate. Red question marks, select "Stuck", then "Still stuck, page a GM" and write out their names.

The GM team.

Do you have two clients open? Yes.
Is it then multiboxing? Yes.

What? That's not what you said in your op. You said you had one leveling and the other doing deals.
Plus, you don't really need the final warning removed. Just don't do it again and you're good.

i was initially then went back to lvling and just had it left on surely that isn't deserving of a warning
but if nothing can be done i just will try and be more careful logging off quicker after im done
thanks a lot guys!

You should have logged it out then. Lesson learned. Like I said, if you don't do it again you're good.
