2-boxing penalty

[bigeasy]

P1999 is firm in their belief, but again will reiterate that perma banning without a suspension first is an abnormality in the MMORPG community, and even in the game they choose to "emulate"

This isn't to argue whether boxing should be allowed, they're set in their ways even if it goes against the grain of every MMORPG out in the market now and the very one they emulate on their servers. But for that fact, and that fact alone, is why perma banning with no prior suspensions on an account should be frowned upon.

Ignore the facts all you want, but they're distinctly the minority so not expecting players to bitch and complain when they are removed from the game on a first act is a little naive on their part.


"Multiboxing is generally allowed by MMORPG End User License Agreements, because the characters are still subject to all the normal rules of the game world and are controlled by the player directly. This is in contrast to bots that partially or fully control the characters, which are against the terms of service of most online games.[3]

Most MMORPGs only allow a single character per account to be logged in at once, so multi-boxers need a separate account for each character they want to play simultaneously. In subscription based services, this means paying multiple monthly fees, and buying several copies of game expansions. However, with trial accounts, multiboxing for free is possible. Using World of Warcraft: Starter Edition is one example which has unlimited play for free, albeit with certain in-game limitations surrounding maximum level, currency accrual, etc.[4]

Most game developers allow multiboxing in their games. To date, Age of Conan, Aion, Anarchy Online, City of Heroes, City of Villains, Dungeons and Dragons Online, EVE Online, Lord of the Rings Online, EverQuest, EverQuest II, Lineage, Lineage II, Ultima Online, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, Warhammer Online and World of Warcraft all allow multiboxing. The Chronicles of Spellborn and Rift allow hardware multiboxing, but prohibit software multiboxing. Game publishers do not provide technical support for multiboxing, so while it may be allowed, you may find certain games are not designed to be multiboxed.[5] [6]"
