So how can my wife and I play?

[disposalist]

She gets a message about her IP being blocked. Is this something to stop "boxing"?

That's gonna be pretty darn disappointing if that's the case - surely there's LOTS of people would like to play with someone actually in their same house (network)?

Yes, it's in the Getting Started sticky.

4.4. You may not have more than one client running per real life person playing on Project 1999 (Boxing).

There is no 'boxing' on Project 1999 servers. Boxing is defined as having more than one client running from a single computer, or having more than one client running per person in the same household on different computers. Project 1999 has an IP block on its servers to prevent players from boxing. You may apply for an IP exemption if you have more than one person in your household wanting to play by following the instructions on this forum:

Violation of this rule will result in disciplinary action, and you may lose the account(s) involved.

The exception to this rule is having one client running for Project 1999 Red PvP as well as one for Project 1999 Blue. This is allowed.

It takes some time to get the unlock as well, so be prepared. My friends have quit hanging out at my house and staying home so we can play together. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You can make a post in the petitions section about an IP exemption. Be sure to follow their format and don't bug them afterwards. Just wait. It can take a few days, or a few weeks...but they will get back to you on it.
Until then, you can play on a mobile hotspot. It doesn't require much data to play EQ.

Violations include logging on your "wife's" account to buff you when she's not around and such things.

the GM's yelled at a guild member of mine for his wife leaving her character in selection screen idle while he was playing his character.

Its been two weeks today since i put in a IP exemption for my gf and i. Lol

You need to start a petition thread. I've never had to do it, but I hear it can take some time to get approved.

While you wait for your exemption to go through you can always use your phone hotspot as a quick fix
