I always hear players talking about their Alts and other accounts etc. and someone was talking about having a 2nd account with a Cleric so he always has access to a Res. Is this legal? If this is legal I would like to start 2nd Account Cleric and level him to 50 for this reason alone - so I can res my main or res friends. This seems very useful but if I have 2 computers running from my house won't the IP be the same and will the GM think I am boxing? I have no interest in boxing but would like to buff or res only between accounts. Is this considered boxing? How is this done legally please.

Having two or more characters logged into the server at the same time is boxing, and therefore, not allowed.

I wonder how everyone gets away with it then. They must somehow make different IP's. I will just keep the one account then. It's not worth the risk with all the hours you put into a toon. Thank you for clarifying.

They just ask someone to log in the 2nd account for them

Put a temp pw on it and swap it each time

this only works when you have a few people you can trust not to mess around with your account. typically, i will share my cleric's log in info with a few friends of mine, so we all have access. if one of us needs a rez, we ping the discord chat with all 4 of us to see if anyone is able to log in and rez.

i know other people have done the temporary password when loaning out to a guildie or a less trusted compatriot, but i couldnt be bothered to constantly change a password

Sorry someone didn’t respond in 5 hours.

Most of us have a spare cleric with an epic. You can park it somewhere and not hassle with a guild bot. If you trust someone not to pilfer the wares of a low 50’s cleric you can have them rez you.

Yeah you shouldn't do this. You can make a cleric to rez others but not yourself.

Account sharing is allowed for this server though, as distasteful as it is for me to mention or think about it

I wish it wasn't done.

Make the cleric.

Give others Rez when they are in need.

Make lots of friends.

Get Rez when needed.

The epitome of p99 is having every class on different accounts so you can account share as much as possible and render main characters a joke

Very likely you will be pinged for boxing with 2 chars from same ip.
Probably best to just do what Garnaak said, make friends and rep to be rezzed by others.
Never share accounts. Except with Elizondo. He seems stable.

Or you could probably just use your phone as a network to connect to real fast to res yourself and then log off so you won't be caught if you really are only using to res real fast.

This is the real pro-tip right here.

FYI, this is overtly against the rules and staff read the forums.

The OP should try not to die, avoid hunting in remote spots, and pay for the occasional rez. Or level up a cleric and/or find a buddy with one.

If its just a cleric bot and you can trust your friends, share info and have them log it in and rez you.
