"Multiboxing"

[Altoholic]

Hello

In the TOU (section VI. Multiboxing), i can read : "Multiboxing refers to playing multiple characters simultaneously".
I put the emphasis on playing simultaneously.

When you have 2 accounts simultaneously connected, but not simultaneously played (you swithch from one window to another, from time to time, you don't use any third party software, just the regular downloaded client from nostalrius.org), is it considered multiboxing ?

I have my banker in a major city, and i check mails and AH from time to time (most of the time, i forgot, and end up DC ^^). I have my main somewhere else (usually also in a major city, or on a long fly traveling - because when i'm in a place with a risk of death, it's too dangerous to switch windows), so i can chat, read LFG/guild channels, and so on (but not "actively playing", because i can't - it's too dangerous, i need to be focused on only one thing to do it good).
The idea behind this is : when my main don't have a lot to do, i can use that empty time to check mails/AH with my banker.
Am i a multiboxer ?

The way to read the TOU is restrictively. If the example case is not explicitly stated as being allowed, then it is not allowed. So yes - if your main is on a flight and your are checking the AH on a banker alt, that is multiboxing and against our rules. This is because one of them is not in a major city.

Checking the auction house on a bank character while logged in to another character is actually not allowed at any time.
