you can't even attempt to 2 box though, I learned that before reading the rules myself, because I tried and got an error message. You can only have 1 account actively online per IP address unless you get an exception cleared with the Dev Team.

Makes it so every character playing online is a real player, which is better honestly.

Thanks Toomuch. I'm planning on building another computer for my brother so maybe I'll need to ask for special permission then.

Just remember, that if you do get caught boxing the two characters. They don't care if you just moved the char for your brother only 5 feet, when he was in the bathroom. Getting caught having only one person playing both characters for any amount of time, including just doing a trade of items, will most likely end up in a lifetime ban from the server.

They pretty much have zero tolerance on that subject, if they catch you.

I don't GM on the server. I just develop on the code. Just giving friendly advice. If you do want to box there are several other servers that are fun and allow it. No reason to screw up your time here unnecessarily.

Nah, its ok, I like the server and I like the rules. How do I go about getting permission though?

Started a bard myself, and boy can I tell ya is it tough. The xp penalty alone is killer, but kiting or killing while switching instruments out every other song is quite tough. I can't even imagine how I'm gonna cope with cc + tanking on top of that. Should be a fun time. Played a wizard on live and just didn't feel like being a lazy bastard to max level again.

That's one thing that's enjoyable about a bard, they are more active than some other classes. It can be a handful, yes, but at least you feel like you're doing something a bit more involved.

I still can't reliably decipher how to do instrument swapping AND twisting. Twisting I can do; I'm pretty good at it, even. But once I start trying to move between drums and brass, I blow it.

Do you have your macros set up? It may not be classic, but I could never play a bard without em. Im already feeling the tension in my wrists and arms towards carpel lol.

You have 5 commands, plus a /pause on the same line as a song. Mine are /stopsong; /pause 31, /cast <number>; /stopsong; /pause..etc basically two buttons for a 4 song twist. I have my primary and secondary slots set on a hotbar and then my instrument bag next to them for easy opening, and I just get a rhythm going with click weapon, switch with instrument, song hits, click instrument and switch with weapon, etc.
