Yep! You can Petition for an IP exception and will be able to play together. They do them in batches so may need to wait a little while for it to go through.

Word of advice - Just follow a "butts in seats" type mentality, be careful with it and you'll be fine. P1999 is extremely strict about two-boxing.

It will be tempting to log in each other's characters for "just a second" to cast a buff, or lean over and hit a heal macro while one of you is pooping - but just don't. Butts in seats. Else that will be the exact moment a GM pulls you in for box-testing.. and all your time/gear from 2 years of playing will be flushed down the drain.

Poor guy I know logged in his wife's high level shaman to quickly buff his alt, and got both their accounts insta-banned after he failed a surprise box-test. It's pretty painful and not worth it. So make sure your brother understands so he doesn't screw ya over a year from now~
I mean the guy in the example in the last paragraph must have been doing this a bunch. The GMs aren’t just following around every player the second they log in so it’s not like he did this just one time by mistake and got caught. He would’ve had to have been doing this multiple times and either got noticed by a GM or a player thought it looked suspicious and petitioned. Just saying like when someone gets caught boxing it’s not because they were like an innocent player who happened to make a one time mistake, they were boxing consistently.
