Global rules (read: enforceable in VP) concerning multi-boxing (IP exemptions) and exploiting:

Abusing IP exemption: permanent ban
Exploiting to provide and unintended advantage: permanent ban
Doing the above to provide an unintended advantage for an entire guild: Raid suspension

How does that apply to VP though since its a no CSR zone? Do they ignore exploits from there as well? Honest question, I don't know.

Global server rules are still enforceable in VP. You'll notice I make no mention of the PNP nor training nor any of the "PVE Server Rules", only the "Global rules".

Playing more than one character per server is not allowed and will be strictly enforced. The server will not allow you to log in with more than 1 account per public internet connection. Those attempting to do so will be met with an error message at the loginserver that states there has been a temporary IP block. If you legitimately have more than one real person playing from your connection, you may petition to be excluded from this limitation via an IP Exemption request in the petition forums. Please see the Support section of this guide for more information.

The server staff has many tools available at their disposal to root out people who violate this rule. Those caught will most likely be subject to a permanent ban (GM/Guide discretion).

Third Party Tools, Exploiting
We do not tolerate cheating on Project 1999. Any program that provides an unintended advantage or gleams access to information not otherwise available is very strictly prohibited. Please be aware that while other EQEmulator servers may allow the use of such programs, we do not. We have many systems in place to detect the presence and usage of these programs passively, with regular sweeps to purge users that have utilized them. This is typically a permanent ban.

Do not make the mistake that you may get away with it because you used it on Live Everquest. We put much more effort into the detection of these utilities than SOE ever did. You will be caught and banned if you use them.

The same holds true for exploiting. If you have the slightest doubt that what you are doing may not be intended, please cease immediately and seek clarification from the server staff. Failure to do so and discovery of your actions will lead to disciplinary action."

This is evident in the Perun and Anthrax suspensions that happened for ninja looting (a global rule) and the "Don't kill merbs here due to pathing exploits" Amelinda rule.

Don't kid yourselves too much.. the rules are applied at the behest of the ruling GM.

They're more like.. guidelines.

Yeah I used to live in "downtown" East Lansing and it was almost not worth the convenience - noisy drunks, people throwing beer/liquor bottles and shit at my house... but I did have like a 90 second walk to class sometimes. I live a bit north of town now in a real quiet complex (with fast internet) and it's been nice.

I swear that like a year ago the sewer system in the downtown area came to smell SO bad that they like added something to it to try and mask the smell - now it smells like poop, vomit, AND gummi bears.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the bard exploits everyone (except me) has been using for months.
