boxing or PLing?
Quick question please:
If I group with a friend who is logged on his account in another state and then he afks and auto follows me in group while I xp, is that against the rules/boxing? Or does he have to not be afk, even if he is on his account/his house in another state? Thanks. | ||

Just shooting from the hip, I'd say that's fine. You'll be hurting your own xp intake and run the risk of something happening (loses auto-follow, dies, etc) that will only make it a pain in the ass. I say go for it. It sounds like more work than it's worth to be honest...

Yes, assuming that "friend" doesn't mean you remotely connecting to your other PC to circumvent the security checks and powerlevel your other characters.

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't it possible to use a proxy, making it appear as though the second computer is in some remote location from the first?*
I'm sure they have some way of confirming whether or not the two computers are in separate physical locations. In any case, it probably takes a little time, and I'd imagine you might get a temp ban while they sort it out. *I learned of proxies solely through reading about people coming back to the P99 boards via proxy servers to avoid their IP bans, sorry if that's completely inaccurate. Thanks Harrison!

Yes, its possible in a number of ways, and no they cannot tell for sure whether the computers are in separate physical locations.

I'd think if they catch you that you could be banned. Its still 2-boxing anyway if your
"friend" isn't there. Its too easy to log on with a different IP address even from the same computer. | ||

If you aren't on the same IP and you're actually different people I don't see the problem, and I don't see any risk. I wouldn't feel at risk if I were PLing a guildie while they were AFK, if it was someone whose account info I don't have access to. If it were my fiancee who was "afk" for 8 hours straight and her computer was right next to mine, well, that's basically 2-boxing and I wouldn't risk doing that.
