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.
