That's great but you didn't really answer my question, instead you freaked me out more!

What constitutes 'playing'? You mention getting banned for quick tasks. Is her helping me with a small task (breaking a camp / porting / transferring gear) liable to do get us banned? If she has the laptop in the kitchen and just sells crap while I'm hunting?

I don't want to cheat but I want to know what to expect going into this and how to avoid getting in trouble. It seems like the sort of thing that it would be pretty easy to come afoul of and I'd rather not bother if its too mush hassle / risky.

Will using /follow be dangerous?

This is a LoL reference isn't it.

Playing is anything involving having a character logged in. If you have a character logged in doing absolutely nothing and log another character in, the moment you have two characters logged in you're boxing. At that point the GMs will hunt you down and make you do a bunch of crazy stuff like run in a figure eight while answering tells on both characters to make sure there are two people playing, and if you don't pass the test not even God can save you

/follow is fine, as long as there's actually a person. Like if you're hanging out with your wife and she goes downstairs to let the cat out for a couple minutes, the absolute worst case scenario you're looking at is a GM appears and you explain to them that your wife is downstairs afk for a minute, let me go get her, you go get her, you do the tests. It's not like an instant immediate ban the second they see someone afk.

If you're seen buffing the pair of you etc while she's afk, you're probably going to get a suspension [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Don't risk it, if she afks... just stop everything til she's back.

If he has a separate computer logged in the gms won't come hunting him down. If you try to box on the same computer your ip is going to show the same computer name for both ips and then it'd pretty blatant and will likely get caught.
