Even still that is retarded. Ban 2 boxing fine. But I can't "look like" I'm two boxing or I get banned cause someone just wants to /petition an AFK high level druid/cleric.

Fuck, if that's the case I'm 2 boxing in EC tunnel all the time! AFKing while helping other people, friends/family or otherwise, should be encouraged (given you can't devote your full attention to it at that time), not something you have to worry about getting banned for.

You'll get petitioned if suspicious and GM's will investigate. If you aren't lying you have nothing to worry about when the GM's approach you.

Well.. that's not entirely true. If your dads afk when the GM decides to do his lil check your screwed.

He's also probably also in the house and you can just get him to come to the keyboard..

He's in and out of the house and up and down from his desk all day long. The idea was he could have his cleric sitting afk nearby wherever I am and when he has time come over and refresh buffs/heal me up. Realizing that this would look very suspicious to others watching is why I came here to ask before I did it. I've decided to not even bother cause I don't want to risk it. If a GM shows up while he's AFK or stepped out I don't want to be accused of boxing and not be able to jump through hoops for the 2 box test. It's a shame that I can't do this even though it's not breaking any rules but it is what it is I guess.

This is the only reason it's actually risky.

Hope you guys can enjoy playing together when you can though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It would be breaking the rules if a GM came to your camp and asked the "2" of you to perform the 2box test. If your dad isnt there your banned for life both accounts. Do you really want that to happen. The moment your dad is outside and your about to die and you click that keyboard on your dads pc your 2boxing and therefore its illegal. You say now you wouldn't do that but if shit hit the fan you would def have that thought go through your head. I dont see what the problem is with him camping out and then just logging on to buff you. He doesnt need to log on every 15 mins to buff you. If he wants to PL you he can sit at the PC and do it.

You are going to have a LOT of people reporting you. Like it or not. The GM's are only going to put up with so much shit. I say it is WAY to risky to do what you want.

Even IF you are legit they, the GM's, are only going to investigate you a few times and get tired of it over and over.

Getting perma banned is not much fun with Velious coming out soon!!

I'm completely open about gaming with my wife, so sometimes folks accuse me of boxing the characters (what a laugh). Ignore such comments as the useless chaff they are.

Best advice I can give you is to stick to the rules and, within those rules, play however you want. Regardless of whatever claims other players have made, I've never had a negative run-in with the staff here. I stick to the rules pretty religiously though, to the extent that I do things I wouldn't have done on Live. For example, if she's AFK and we train stuff, I let her character die. Not very romantic, but that's the rule.

All that being said, what you propose doing in the original post sure looks shady as heck. You should fully expect some level of investigation. I wouldn't do that sort of thing myself--it just looks too bad and amounts to poking a tiger with a stick to see whether it bites. If I'm on alone, I'm solo, and don't have some semi-AFK wife buffing/healing me every ten minutes.
