Unless I missed a post I believe I have read the rules...



To clarify I am not suggesting someone to use two computers from one IP address. I do understand the repercussions of doing this.

I do not see a post regarding setting up a LAN party. So my question remains. Should I contact a server rep prior to setting up a LAN? Also I do not find the "support" section from the quote I pasted. Maybe I missed something from that.

Thanks.

Setting up a LAN party is still going to have everyone using the same IP address. You will want to put in for IP exemptions for the accounts before you guys all get together because it might take a few days. If you didnt contact anyone before hand you wouldnt be able to play because everyone after the first person would get a IP block message when they tried to log on.

I really appreciate the responses. Time to start planning.

I think there was initial confusion because I was under the impression that when a computer connects to a router different IP's are generated but from the responses I received this isn't the case.
