Hi,

I was reading about the limit of number of connections per IP address.

I often sit with my laptop for the day in a coffee shop (Starbucks, Barnes and Nobel)...

What happens in the event that I login and someone else with the same IP address does, as well... Is it an auto ban, or do I explain everything out to a GM?

In such an event, the staff will dispatch a hired assassin to your location to exterminate you.

I think the better question is, what are the chances of that happening?

If someone is already connected to p99 you will be blocked from logging in...So your day would be ruined :P

That would be hilarious. I would sneak around peeping everyone's laptops trying to find out who they were and what their characters name was. They would feel my wrath for ruining my day!!!!

lmao. Nope. It is not.

Doing the install with the WINE Skin wrapper now, hoping to get on tonight.

Haven't been on EQ in a long time.

Good news is that there's another Starbucks only a block away... or less.

The official process is to stand, slowly turn in place and announce to the coffee shop that you will begin playing project 1999 on your portable computer and to inquire if any other patrons are currently running the game while they are at the coffee shop. If not enjoy! Happens all the time.
