IP Exemption Request??

[krendak]

Same here. I put in a request a month ago. My first one was rejected (in a polite way) because I didn't use the right format.

Can we just sticky a thread already for people asking about this?

I'm gonna use this topic to ask an IP Exemption question.

You need an IP Exemption to run two accounts through one router, right? My wife and I obviously have different PCs, with different internal IPs, but I'm guessing they have the same external IP?

I don't wanna try it myself because I don't wanna get one of the accounts banned.

Correct.

How would you get banned? You just wouldn't be able to log in the second account.

I just wasn't sure how temporary the temp ban would be, and didn't wanna get an account (or both) banned for a whole day or whatever.

Good to know, though, thanks!

My favorite was the guy who posted a bunch of pictures of him forcing his daughter (who was like 8) to sit behind a laptop while his wife took pictures of them 'playing together'. Thread got out of hand enough where one of the Admins came and clarified that he was logging into 2 accounts from the same computer and that shut him up pretty quickly.

Great thread lol

Your router is the only piece of equipment in your house that has a front facing IP to the real world which is what the server will see, a class B address like 129.120.xxx.xxx. Everything you plug into the router gets an IP address from that router (class C) typically starting with 192.168.1.xxx. That IP address is internal and has no relevance to the outside world. For example, you would have something like a 192.168.1.10 address and your wife would have 192.168.1.11. On the server side, if more than one account is using that front facing IP (class b) of the router at one time, it looks like boxing unless you put in a valid IP exemption request so the mods know a real live human being is playing each specific account behind that single IP address.

So would it work to have one connection on a cellular hot spot?
