Its really that ridiculous here? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] With how long mana regen is in this game, i often do other things while waiting for it to hit 100%. Thats how it was back in the day when I played.

Duel boxing is prohibited on this server. There has been a crack down recently.

Some of those accused of duel boxing claim they were actually a husband and wife team playing - not one person duel boxing characters.

I have two sets of couples in my guild playing from the same IP at the same time, without issue. One of the players is new, and does /follow often, but not while in combat - zero issues.

So to answer your question - No, you shouldn't have a problem.

Can't this porno guy be banned or something? That's a little ridiculous.

How long do these petitions usually take to get resolved?

[shooteneq1]

hours or months.

They do them in batches. So it depends at what point between batches you submitted your request. I had a friend granted an exception on 2/7. It sounds like they run the batches every 2 weeks - ish. So guessing...a week.

Just make sure to never go afk on either char or do anything that could be remotely construed as you playing both chars, or the zealots here will have their way and report you and end up with your account banned.

A lot would prefer to see innocent people banned than let a few boxers slip through the cracks.

Cut for 2-boxers?

The forums over the last week or two have likely overplayed the amount of banned accounts, but if you're going to keep boxing restricted I'd rather see it well managed than poorly managed. GMs doing a good job, and if single players want to ruin it for legit couples that want to play..."brothers", "wives", etc then direct your anger at them for putting you, the legit duos, in the crossfire.

It's a shame a small minority ruin it for everyone else...and moreso that the supposed witch hunters who report some dodgy boxing activity then get witch hunted on the forums by people who don't view the boxing issue as a problem or just want to take some kind of moral high ground.

I'm still waiting for the IP exemption. She is leveling her level 2 mage now, to keep up with me. I'm almost level 5. This wait is really lame. The PVP server is dead as is and this rule just keeps it from getting more people in faster.

Damn, I only did it about 8 hours ago.

there seem to be more people running things as of late. It wouldnt surprise me that it gets done fairly fast, however there has been times where it has literally taken weeks going into months to get it done.

Dude, relax. Your IP exemption will come. As lyra stated above, they do them in batches roughly every week or so. If its only been less than a day you need to chill, lol. Sending the gm's pms, petitions, and generally spamming them trying to get your exemption i can almost guarantee they will purposefully take longer to do yours. I'm fairly certain that it says all over the place to be patient, post your exemption, and then not bug the devs about it constantly.

That being said, the whole two boxers getting cracked down on thing is (i believe) a myth. You're not going to get banned because sirken sent you a tell and you didn't reply right away. To some people it may look that way, but in reality, whenever a GM is checking on a two-boxer, he sits invis next to the person in question and watches them. I'm unsure of how long they do this for, but I know its a fair amount of time. Gm's arent interested in banning innocent people, and it is in fact their policy to ban less and accidentally get innocent people less, instead of ban more an get innocents more. If you're playing legit with two real people instead of two-boxing and claiming its a wife/friend/brother, you will be fine. I very much doubt anyone's ever been banned for 'not responding to a tell within 60 seconds', that's just not the way it works.

Lastly, like i said, be patient. I apologize if i sounded rude before, I didn't mean to, just realize that the gm's are all volunteers, and they let everyone play on this server 100% free without requesting anything at all. Its not even free-to-play, its just free, and the gm's get paid $0. There's a LOT to do on a 1000+ population server, and thats why things often take time to do. Your petition will get processed, i promise. Just remember, don't two-box! Even if you just decide to hop on your wife's character to drop a buff or two, dont do it! thats when you'll get busted and your wife will be *pissed* that you got her character banned.

Be patient, and I hope you an your wife enjoy p99!!
