If nothing else there's a bunch of people who would quickly report suspicious activity. The healer that never talks, one autofollowing another, never both characters moving at the same time... those are the obvious signs.

I caught an iksar necro in Felwithe at it. What did he do? He created a character called "Lootar" and sat him near where he was killing the guards. Funnily the high elf looted/vendored everything for him but other than that would never move.

That's the most obvious boxer I ever encountered lol, would show screenshots but it's on my old account.

I think this is a benefit to the red server. If you do these kinds of things there will never be someone around to report you.

It would be a totally separate IP but it is circumnavigating the purpose of the rule if you're boxing...

just my wife and I. She made a bard, but I hear that is not an easy one to start with. What is an easy class to play? I have a paladin and enchanter.

Necro is a bit clicky, but you can kill stuff super easy, and once you have FD you have a get-out-of-trouble card. Same with monk, but you're a bit more up-close-and-personal.

Healer is also an obvious choice if she's only ever gonna play at the same time as you, since a) she'll always have a tank, and b) you'll always have a healer. Or, you know, roles reversed, this is 2018 after all.

Edit: Bard is super specialized, so yeah, maybe not the easiest to learn the game mechanics with. Fun class, tho!

Edit2:

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.

Thanks for this, this is pretty much what I assumed but it's still nice to hear it. Still waiting on my IP exemption, I had to make a bunch of alts so I don't outlevel my wife too much lol.

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
