Dual Boxing Allowed

[havokprime]

Is it allowed to run two accounts from one machine?

 

Physically I know it's possible (I just tested that) but I don't want to do something that isn't allowed by the GM's.

From the Code of Conduct:

 

Multiboxing Policy

We allow a basic level of multiboxing on the Homecoming servers outside of peak times. These rules apply on a shard-by-shard basis (by ‘shard’ we mean Torchbearer, Excelsior, etc).

• If there are less than 1500 people logged in to a shard you may play with up to three accounts at once.
• If there are more than 1500 people logged into a shard you may only play with a single account.
• If you are caught multiboxing when there are between 1500 and 1600 players logged in to a shard, you will be warned and expected to log off immediately. If you ignore requests to do so your accounts will receive a 24h ban.
• If you are caught multiboxing repeatedly with more than 1600 players logged in to a shard, all of your accounts will receive immediate permanent bans.

It is your responsibility to monitor server status and current player count if you wish to multibox. You can do this both on our website and in the #live-shards channel on our Discord.

 

An exception to this rule is Hamidon raid zones (The Hive, The Abyss) which have a limited population cap. No multiboxing is allowed in these zones. Breaking this rule may result in all of your characters being removed from the zone and short-term suspensions being issued for repeat offenders

Please note that this policy does not apply to groups of players simply playing from the same home/network. It only applies to individuals playing multiple accounts on their own.

Yes.  There are other conditions around dual boxing.  A single machine isn’t one of them.

Sweet and thanks!

 

Those are completely sane rules!

Isn't that just a Scrapper with seven teammates?

They did, at one point, @kiramon.  However, for whatever reason, that rule was rescinded.

I'm pretty sure there was also a rule about attempting to bypass the auto-AFK function in the Code of Conduct at some point, but I can't find it any more, if it ever existed in the first place.
