is it against the rules to.

[Tecmos Deception]

Two characters being played from the same IP, where one of them is active and the other one is just sitting there afk... that IS unusual.

You people are acting insane. Checked periodically, one would see if the brother existed at all or not.

My guess is that more often than not, when you talked to them, they'd actually really be two different people.

Until the brother bard starts swarm kiting and the other brother goes and makes food for the both of them.

At worst, you could potentially be two-boxing, and at best, your brother is AFK-leveling. That's why you're getting negative responses.

it's unusual? seems logical to me. he has a job, i don't. i play alot more than he does... when you're killing 30+ mobs in a single pull i would shoot past him in a few pulls... but him leaving his toon to get massive exp while he is busy would keep us both the same level.. wouldn't touch his computer, the character would be inactive, the druid is level 15, and the bard is 20.... boxing a druid wouldn't help the bard at all...the druid really doesnt benefit the bard at all.. buffs?sow? heals? as for buffs a level 15 druid's skin like rock is completely beast mode and allows for massive tanking....xD as for sow the bard has jboots... and heals.. well one mistake with a 30mob train and there would be no time for me to run to the other pc and heal the bard while trying to kite the train at the same time...

I understand the situation, and, believe it or not, how bards and druids and AE kiting work.

By freaking definition, though, what you're doing is unusual. It's not like this is happening in 5 or 10 different spots on the server at any given time so that you can label it "usual" or "normal" or "commonplace," now is it?

And more to the point, what you're doing and asking about just LOOKS suspicious. This isn't Mayberry. It's the freaking p99 forums. You can't honestly be surprised when people are skeptical about your situation.

If you're so convinced that what you're doing is ok, then why are you here asking about it? If you're unsure that what you're doing is ok, then why are you so surprised that other people think it's sketchy too?

Not allowed to box?? Not classic ! when they gonna change this since they took my compass... lol

If you want to remain similar levels, your best bet is to play your toon up a few lvls while he is asleep and then log off and log on his toon and play catchup with it. It will be slower yes but at least you won't get banned this way.

As long as the other player remains completely AFK during the time, it should be fine. Expect to be tested. Ive done it with a buddy of mine before. He in Seattle and I'm in Colorado, he would log my char in and sit him afk while I killed stuff on another char. Risky because of trains etc, but be smart about where the other char afks.
