Default Multi-boxing with your friend's accounts

Several people have reported instances of this to me recently. "my friend A currently has friend B's wizard on to port himself." but by the time i make it to the zone where the characters are...one has logged.

Don't do this. Please don't be a selfish jackass and get your friend's account banned just because you want a cleric buff or someone needs a port or you need to do a quick transfer. That is an incredibly selfish act and if we catch you doing it we are going to ban both accounts. Then YOU get to explain to your friend why s/he is now out the hundreds of hours of play time and potentially thousands of plat worth of items.

Bad enough to get yourself banned for breaking a well known rule. even worse to get your friend's account banned.

This means YOU. If you are sweating and thinking i'm talking to you. You are right. I am. I know. and in the words of Antoine Dodson...

Umm how is that possible? Considering that if you log into your account from your IP, you can't log into another account from that same IP. Or else anyone that buys an account is pretty much buying the right to 2-box. Doesn't make any sense Amelinda.

If they had an ip exemption in the first place, why would they need their friend's account? Doesn't make any sense Savarin.

You need to be quicker on the draw Amelinda! Them sneaky people think just because they are only two boxing for a very short period of time they can get away with it.

IP Exemption is for two SEPARATE people playing in one house. For example, father and son, husband and wife, and so on. It does NOT give people permission to take advantage of the exemption and two box.

The reason you cannot log in two computers from a single IP without an exemption is to prevent two boxing. The devs here were nice enough to give us a way to allow people in the same household to enjoy the game together, but sadly some people try to abuse that exemption for the wrong reason.

I don't think you're following all the permutations of the problem. I know all that. Everyone knows all that. My statements were assuming everyone knew everything there was to know about the rules in this matter.

In this case, only people who ALREADY have exemptions can ostensibly use their friends account to 2-box. Why would they do that? I mean it doesn't take long to level a druid or wizard up to porting level, and the added layer of people is nothing but a risk. It doesn't make any sense.

If you have to use the words ostensibly and permutation to comprehend a rule...

When their "friend" is not around (at work, school, etc.) they log-in as their friend to port/buff them or their group. This is essentially two-boxing even though they only log-in for a short time. It's one person playing two characters at once and it's strictly verboten.

I understand the rule completely, something I thought I made pretty clear. Please read again, I'm trying to help you solve an apparent problem.
