You might notice the mobs you're fighting acting a bit funny, but that would be it.

LOL, you wouldn't happen to be have been in the Qeynos cleric/saucer messing with NPC's the other night were you? I popped in there to drop off some rabid pelts and all the NPC's were fighting each other. I had to wait until they either killed themselves or stopped before I could continue on.

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.

I'll never forget when I first started playing red. I was looking for people to xfer plat and I logged in my monk on blue and then my red toon shortly after forgot I had loggedin my monk and logged in an old friends wizard that had ip exempt. Tabbed back to red and went about my looking for plat. Tabbed to wizard and found them both sitting at gm in OT. Tldr; be careful don't get caught up with it I was afk on both toons for ~20 min and said gm knew it.

Please start recording this in the future and make a thread showing the offenders/fails! It would be like the equivalent of watching an episode of EQ Cops!

What about IP exemptions for swapping chars faster? Like 90% of the legacy accounts I log into have them and I know goddamn well they never played with anyone :P I just want to /q more on heallun :|

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.]
