SOS Linkshell, and Their Irritating RMT'S

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..

Mod Jhanaka quote: "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."

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.

Someone hurt my feelings today, this is what I did to them.

Reported them

I'm not going to lie... I wouldn't mind that as my sig.

Lol, my character's face goes with that quote XD.

I assume in 2.0 griefing* will be considered more seriously - I remember in FFXI I was shouting for the level 30 dragon fight and someone reported me for spamming. GM summoned me into GM jail and told me to wait till someone else shouts before shouting myself. (I shouted every 2 minutes, but since no one else shouted it was just my name in the chat log lol)


* Unfortunately what griefing is, is pretty vauge. Seen people try to report others because they got an item and didnt want to pass it to someones buddy. lol... -_-
