SOS Linkshell, and Their Irritating RMT'S

[Anakhu]

Hello Folks,

I wanted to clear up a couple of items I saw posted.

First, the GM staff, for the most part, is not involved in the investigations into the RMTs, that is done by our Special Task Force. If you place a report via the helpdesk system, then we take the names you submit and we forward them to our Special Task Force. Must is the same if you use the reporting feature found at the Support Centers under "Contact". I know it is very frustrating to see these types of customers and we do try to help out as much as we can.

The next point I saw that I wanted to clear up was the posts about Duel/Multi-boxing. This is not a violation as long as you are actually using multiple machines to play. If you are using third party programs to run multiple versions of the game, then that would be a violation.

I will see what I can do about having the GM staff get more involved, but the Special Task Force has their reasons they are the sole department to investigate, so I cannot question their decision.

I will let this thread stay open, as you all have brought up some valid points.

Be well and good luck in your hunts.

Thank you for the clarification on duel/multi boxing the game. It's a shame that you can't run multiple instances of this game on one PC, i really hope one day this might be possible. I for one would most definatly have 2 running at once if it was possible. I'd rather have 2 single characters I can play at the same time any day over having 8 that I can only play one at a time ( would really help on those downtimes where you cant get party for a 2+ requirement ). Not everyone can afford to run on multiple pc, alot of people don't even have a 2nd or 3rd pc. The only reason I could see people even using multiple pc would be for 1. RMT, or 2. they just got it like that, props to them.. but we all don't

You can run multiple instances. . Will double resources required on your pc though.

GM just stated that it is not "legaly" possible, that we would require a 3rd party program and would be breaking the ToS, I'm talking about a legit way to do it. Like with Eve online.. you got 3 character slots per account.. only 1 can play at a time per account.. but you can run the client again and use as many accounts as you want.. currently if you try to open up multiple instances without 3rd party it just goes to boot screen then closes out..

Well then lol. A whole lotta sandboxers are going to be surprised then. Though honestly I'm not sure SE cares because your IP would be the same for two different running characters - something they could easily detect and stop at that instant.

You have to use third party programs to dual box but those third party programs do not have to modify SE's data to do so. Which I think was why it can break ToS (you cant modify/interact with their code). Otherwise they could say you cant listen to music on another program because it is a third party system that goes over the sound of SE lol.

Maybe I am wrong though XD

I don't know, all I know is it won't let me do it on it's own and I will not try to attempt at using another program to run multiple instances unless it is an officially sanctioned one from SE. What I really hope for is to one day not require a 3rd party program and it let us boot up as many instances of the client we wish to have. While of course only being able to play 1 character per account.
