View Full Version : PSA: IP exemption and sitting at character select


Aussie

I want to bring this up so everyone has fair notice that we are going to start enforcing this from now on.

If you have an IP exemption, it is to allow multiple players to play on our servers together.

It's not so you can have a 2nd client open on your PC, sitting at character select ready to log-in. This is a common practice on red, as people plug the first client and then immediately log in the one sitting at character select.

That's an unfair advantage to those who do not have IP exemptions, and is abusing your IP exemption. Going forward we will be talking to those found doing so, and if you continue to abuse the exemption they will be removed and you may face punishment.

this actually effects me and jupe heavily, when we feel like we are about to pass out, we emergency camp, and we camp and end out passing out at our desk.

not 5 minutes ago, i tried to log into an account, and not all my of my accounts have ip exemptions, so i couldn't, i first thought someone was on my account, but nope go into my brothers room and he is passed out at his desk with thumperx at char select.

another example, my brother plays diablo 3, and keeps a character at character select depending what i need, like a porter if im porting around places he camps in and out, and tabs back and forth between diablo 3 and EQ.

so yea, those are my concerns.

It's not so you can have a 2nd client open on your PC

What you described is fine, as it's two separate PC's / Persons.

FINALLY. I was the very first person on this server to start addressing this publicly; am thrilled to see you guys do it as well. Remove the IP exemptions if people are caught doing this.

One of the first scumbags to start doing this was Jeremy (quido) I caught him doing it on blue99 when he was streaming 2 years ago. His exemption was removed, but pretty she he cried nonstop and got it reinstated which shouldn't have ever been allowed. He doesn't have a girlfriend, doesn't have any irl friends, can't play sports irl, and loves Bob Dylan music more than anything. No chance of anyone playing with him irl.

Please enforce this on both servers as it is an issue on blue too thanks. Can imagine how it's even more impactful on red.

SOOOO many dirty IP exemptions for this exact reason. Thank you so much make this will make a more legitimate and fair server for everyone.

agatha is two boxing scum who repeatedly abused this. why arent we banning rule breaking players that are cancer for this community. not sure where this "brother" came from but i remeber you specifically mentioning you were an only child on good guys TS the other week.

agatha instructed me and several other guildies to get ip exemptions for our multiple accounts so we can a use this method described in OP to more effectively zerg empire. it seemed questionable and i am a player with integrity so i did not follow his instructions.

Hi Aussie, I get a lil confused on these things cause im such a horrible and bad ranger. To clarify as an example are you talking about Lite clearly running a client in the background at character select screen? http://i.imgur.com/uruYbGP.png

If you look on the left side corner of the screen you can see the character select screen sky. When can we expect the staff to start punishing these offenders?

People who dont have "brothers and sisters" have to risk putting shit on the ground, cant log the druid in for ports, People like Lite and Brainz obviously boxing for years over VPNs, etc, etc... either allow boxing or dont.

This. I would take a guess that over 80% of the people that I have known to get IP Exemptions were using them to box. I can understand the " we need proof ", but sometimes it is just so OBVIOUS certain people are just bad for the server/obviously cheating, that the just need to ban those people regardless. Perma ban that is :)

I just don't know how this is possible to monitor / enforce. Someone logging out and back in too quickly? They going to use a stop watch? How long is long enough for it to seem as though they waited? Sometimes when I plug it takes only 30 seconds for IP to clear other times it takes 2-3 minutes. Is there a way to see how many comps @ are char select? What if it's on a laptop the other one? How do they know it's not actually your brother who the IP exemp was for?

If they can't catch Lite 5 boxing for years in Sky how will they catch this?

06-12-2015, 10:10 AM
At this point I strongly feel boxing should be allowed, unless its worked on harder ingame.

Not too long ago I won a 1v2 vs a raid geared rogue and cleric, managing to YT the cleric and gate from the rogue.

Of course the cleric being autofollow on the rogue, followed by /q'ing at seb entrance while he tried to attack me on the rogue made that pretty easy.

One thing I noticed a long time ago, maybe about 1 1/2 years ago. I was playing alone, we had IP exemptions on some accounts and i had to plug my monk in PVP and knew my brothers paladin was right there full hp/buffed ready to fight, I instantly logged him in and didn't even realize it. but within 2 minutes I got a message from a GM warning me I just did that fast-kick thing whatever to get around ip exemption/blocks or whatever. Didn't even realize it was a thing because I figured I plugged and it took me about ~45 seconds to load EQ back up and get to server select and load in with no IP block message. So when I got that message I Still didn't really understand because I didn't 'kick' myself off instantly, the character was still plugged but I guess it was almost considered illegal because I swapped instantly to another char which normally it would have popped up saying active IP in use or whatever.

Then I really started noticing those people who would /q or go linkdead and be out of game in like 5 seconds or less and be on another toon almost instantly. But yaw true story, Sirken/Zade thought I was fake and I think one time Zade got in teamspeak to resolve something with agatha and I chatted him up and he said something like "i really had no idea Jupe was your real brother" or something along those lines.

as far as this slander/trolling goes below:

agatha instructed me and several other guildies to get ip exemptions for our multiple accounts so we can a use this method described in OP to more effectively zerg empire. it seemed questionable and i am a player with integrity so i did not follow his instructions.

Just plain fake as fuck, literally you been on agathas nuts for months now trying to slander and say anything you can. dunno if mad, jealous, both or what. No one from GG has encouraged players to get ip exemptions to box nor to 'more effectively' zerg empire. We don't need to first of all, beating empire just fine already as is. Also flawed troll attempt in the fact that over half of the GG guild are new players and do not have more then 1 character, let alone accounts. gday try again in another thread maybe
