Nope.

I'm glad people don't post their stories of woe, because who needs that drama...but VPN users are not safe.

OK so wifey briefly played some wow with me and I'd like to get her into EQ. The reason we didn't stick with WoWing together was that we don't get a LOT of time together what with the kids and all, so 2 subscriptions for a few sessions per month is expensive.

In that context, Project 1999 seems like a great idea. I have read and understand the rules regarding boxing. All good and I agree with the no boxing rule. I have no desire to break the rules, but I also have no desire to get banned accidentally or because what I'm doing looks suss!

She's a little bit terrible with the mouse sometimes. We used /follow a bit while duoing in WoW. Is this dangerous?

If I want to do a transfer or get a port or a quick rez or any number of the terrible things that could look box-y but you could ask legitimately a friend to do, and I ask her to login to help me out, is this a problem?

Just trying to get some feedback on how this will work in practice. I'm having too much of a good time here to get hamm0red! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Edit: that should be multiple account ip exemptions, but I think you get the idea.

I think I have some of the most IP exemptions for a requesting party around here. I've NEVER touched the keyboard when the other pal is out of the room and have NEVER gotten banned.

Have read tons of sob stories of my wife doesn't know how to use /say /tell or run in circles. Just learn to enjoy your bans if you abuse the system, you earned them.

My wife never was a big EQ player really but she was willing to log in and keep me buffed up in between her games. She'd just alt tab out and it was never a big issue.

Well one day while doing this she went to the door to talk to a neighbor and a GM popped up and started asking us to run around him in circles and talk to him simultaneously. I had told him what was going on with the wife and I swear before I could get downstairs and get her back on the computer we had both received fuckin 30 day bans.

I would recommend that one person actually logs off if they are going to be AFK more than about 15 seconds, because I was unable to even get someone to look at a petition for 30 days.

No because you were unable to prove that you weren't boxing. 30 day ban was a slap on the wrist.

I got banned for the same thing pretty much. I was helping my son in dalnir and he was afk for a minute and GM popped up. Asked to do the test etc. I told him son was afk and was insta banned. It's pretty stupid but whatever. He likes minecraft better anyway lol.

You can't avoid the ban hammer, it will hunt you down, and haunt your nightmares. Down every alley in every shadow it waits, waits for you to slip up, to make a mistake. It will strike down when you least expect it, when you feel safest.

There's no hiding from the ban hammer.
