If you have 3 computers with an account loaded on each and you use a program to control all 3 then you are in violation. ANY use of ANY program that enables you to perform multiple actions from 1 keystroke or click of a mouse is a violation. In either case this is a clear violation of the TOS. When someone tries to make the argument about multi boxing being allowed or not allowed they are referring to a macro program that allows 1 computer to operate several accounts, or 1 keyboard and mouse to operate several computers at once. You are mistaken! People are using the term "multi boxing" incorrectly in half of these posts. They've addressed this issue with the aforementioned info already, however this was about two years ago. Multi-boxing is not allowed if you are afk/macro'ing their commands. Multi-boxing is allowed as long as you are present for each character and able to move them around the world. Personally i would just as easily say no to the practice as it is easy to exploit and hard to detect "correct use" I could be proven wrong, but given the reasons for using it, i doubt anyone would take the time to do it right.Įasy way to tell, if all chars in a group are executing their skills at same time, its probably a macro, if they are executing in succession, its probably a multi-box but without the macro. now if you have 4 boxes and hit 5 5x then you are legal, but i highly doubt anyone is doing that. hit one key (say skill 5) and it will execute skill 5 for all boxes (this is against the TOS). Problem with multi-boxing is that rarely is it ever done 'legally" most people will use a single keyboard and a single mouse. Scripters and automators though can be a problem, but this is true about just about anything in the game. Seems like more work for limited additional outcomes if you multi-box legally in this game, but some people like doing it and as long as they do it all manually, there really is no harm that I can see. Of course they could change the policy about multi-boxing at any time, but they have been both clear and logical about their policy over the years.
report it.Ĭan you legally play multiple charactes on multiple clients at one time? Yes, as long as you perform no form of scripting, marcos, or software shadow actions, etc. They have been extremely clear on this on multiple occasions.ī) If a person sits in front of multiple computers (virtual or real) and manually performs key actions on each logged in character separately and uses no automation, they have made it clear there is no issue.Ĭan you exploit the use of multi-boxing? Yes. A) If any form of software automation is used, it violates the ToS.
