I'll give you the same answer I give everyone else, OP - if you're legitimately playing by the rules and have only 1 person controlling each character at a time, you'll be fine. If you're just going to use this as an excuse to have a buff/port/pl box and get away with it, don't bother - you'll just end up getting banned.

Each Guide/GM has their own method of testing people - when I'm doing two-box tests, you won't know you're being tested until I'm finished, and if you pass you'll never know I was there. You might notice the mobs you're fighting acting a bit funny, but that would be it. And I'm not looking for how well your wife uses her mouse - I'm looking at her response to stimuli to make sure the two of you are both there.

Bottom line is if you're playing by the rules you'll be fine. If you're breaking them, you're going to have a bad time.
Thanks for taking the time to post and explain, Deru. This is actually very reassuring. I had thought it might be an automated process or log review etc that you had to appeal against which is why I was worried. I would rather not go ahead in that case, as being suspended would be more hassle than its worth. If its an actual human reviewing us while we play then I'm happy (if perhaps a little creeped out at being watched while I play with my wife ahaha)

I'm not looking for a buffbot or anything like that, but in in the off chance that wifey does have a lot of fun and her character gets levelled up I was wondering what the situation was for the sorts of things I spoke about. It would be quite natural for me to ask her to help me out with something quickly even if she didn't have time to sit down for a full game session. I was worried about it being caught up in an automated process.

It seems to be that there are no limits to our gameplay, so long as there are genuinely two humans involved at all times. Very happy with this and thanks ... now to convince her to actually give it a go, any tips on that?! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
