Cicero Report post Posted October 9, 2004 We are working on better ways to detect people who are cheating by using multiple characters. As a result, some innocent people may get banned accidentally. We apologize for the inconvenience. Allow me to clarify the multiple accounts rule: The rule only applies for multiple accounts used by the same person. This means that different people that play with the same IP are OK. Things that are illegal include muling (having one character carry things for another), training (going to a pk map, and using a second character to give your main one exp), bag holding (using a second character with MM perk to save your death bag when you're training with monsters), and basically anything else that involves using a secondary character at the same time as a primary character for the benefit of the primary character. We understand that many people play with their siblings, friends, and SOs, and may play on a LAN that connects to the internet with a single IP address. It is of course legal for you to interact with your friends even if you have the same IP address. However, be aware that you may be banned unfairly if we suspect that it's just one person playing multiple accounts. If that happens, explain the situation here and we will unban you. As I said before, we are working on better ways to detect people who are cheating, and also better ways to discriminate who is not cheating. Please bear with us as we attempt to make the game more pleasant for everyone by getting rid of cheaters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest elvenpyro Report post Posted October 10, 2004 i now (or at least think i know) why i was banned. i think that it was for multiple accounts, having two people of the same ip on at once. The reason is simple, i am elvenpyro, my little bro. zach is zmaster. Every once in a while we trade stuff, but the only way to do that is for us to log on at the same time, same computer since we don't have two. Anyway the good news is that i will be getting a second computer soon. Most of the guys in my guild should be able to vouch for me (Blue). So please respond and tell me if this is why i'm banned, i'm pretty sure it's not against the rules, and if it is, then i apologize Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
