Assuming you're not trolling the technical discussion forum, here is the information from the getting started guide:

2+ Boxing
"Boxing" is not allowed on Project 1999. This is defined as playing more than one character per server by the same person. This includes one person playing multiple characters on different computers.

Our servers will not allow you to log in multiple accounts from the same household / internet connection. Attempting to do so will be met with a Temporary IP Ban error.

If you genuinely have multiple people playing from the same connection, you are required to request an IP Exemption in the [URL=http://www.project1999.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=25]Petition Forum.

Violation of this rule will result in disciplinary action and possible loss of accounts involved.

Playing one character per server (One on Project 1999 Blue, One on Project 1999 Red, or one+ on any other EQEmulator server) is allowed.

Actually, it is a big deal. I did as you suggested over a month ago for my son and still haven't received an exemption. I understand that the volunteers which process these have much to do and there's no way for me to know where I'm at in the queue.

But it's really hard to manage a kid's expectations on something like this when they get excited about it. We've tried to use a hotspot to mixed success. Sometimes it just plain doesn't work well enough with the latency where we're at. And that's just the game. Add discord into the mix (our PC's are on opposite ends of the house) and it ends up just being frustrating for everyone involved.

Eh? I'm not the OP. Just happen to have a similar issue and perspective.

This is the correct answer. VPNs cost <$10 a month, will let you play multiple accounts at once, and are 100% legal as long as you have real humans behind each account. They'll also let you use bit torrent without fear of your ISP giving you "strikes", AND as soon as your IP exception comes through you can cancel them (if you don't still want them for bit torrenting).
