Will I get suspended?

[Impulse]

Do we need to log in from the same IP forever?

In my country, IP Address will change everytime we reconnect the router

Like I said before, I've been logging in all over the place without any issues. Though each login has been via the same laptop, so the HID may come into play along with the IP.

i've been using both my office PC and my home PC to play FFXIV, and i never had any security issues. <3 because i r use Security Token~

If you connect from different IP addresses/PCs, worse that can happen will be that you receive a message when you try to login, that your account is temporarily supsended/locked out. You just need to check your email account associated with your account, and reset the password. Then you can play again.

A change in IP address will probably not trigger another lock out because mine changes all the time, and I don't have to reset. Maybe it's determined by some unique PC id. So I guess you should be fine once you've logged on once at the 2nd location.

Iron your full ip wont change only a specific part, infacts its not even a proper IP they scan for its an ISP code which originates a region.

Anywho I block my friends all the damn time but i know his email pw so i just go unlock it and use his char as i please I must have blocked/change pw like 30 times now lol so i think its fine, SE could see its being accessed by same 2 people all time.

Alexia,

There is nothing much to worry about. I have had the same issue when I have logged on from elsewhere (I move around a bit). What happens is when you enter the password, it will say your account is compramised. Follow the link and it will send an email to get a password reset.

After that, it will remember that IP adress for the future. For as long as either you or your sister have access to that email account, there is nothing to worry about

If you live in the same area you will have no issues, if you live in America and you sister lives in England and she logs on 30 minutes after you logged out then they might get suspicious.

I would suggest you familiarize yourself with the user agreement you have agreed to. For your convenience I will copy and paste parts of it.

What SE will do if you do 3.1 I am unsure. Are we aware of any situations where they have enforced 3.1?

I'm mostly playing at my place but I also sometimes log to my girlfriend's place and got the block, same happens when I go to my parents and play when they are in bed so yes, it can trigger it. However, it is only a matter of a few minutes to unblock it so it is not really a problem. As said previously, once it's done, there is no need to change everytime (not getting blocked anymore at my GF's)

[Nayt]

I live in dorms where each room has a different internet connection, but same ISP. I moved into my friend's room the other day and played from in there and it triggered the suspicious account activity alarm. Silly SE. However, when I went to my university and ran it from there, nothing happened. Silly SE.
