I wonder how many new players we leak because of the forum posting rules and having to have the first 10 messages approved. I understand why its there but feels like we're not very welcoming.

Yeah Rants and flames and Off topic probably cause a good portion of people that come here to just never bother coming to the forums again. Server chat and raid forum are close runners up. Ofcourse red forums should just be hidden by default aswell [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Legally you can't 2box but a lot of people do it. I'm sure a lot get banned but most people don't. You will see a ton of people AFK at EC tunnel and they are most likely playing another character somewhere else. People also do things like farming separate places at the same time on 2 different characters. It is all just common sense, if it is obvious you are 2 boxxing you will be banned. If you get away with it you get away with it, just like anything else that is against the rules. If your characters are interacting with each other or just logging in for a couple seconds at a time there is a good chance you are doing something shady.

Lol. Just because people are AFK in tunnel doesnt mean they are playing on another account or even at the computer for that matter. I use to sit in the tunnel for hours on end. Sometimes i was actually sitting at the pc buying/selling but i'd say a good 90% of the time i was watching TV or playing another game on my other monitor or not even sitting at the computer.

You'll have to excuse him. He plays red, and that's just common "knowledge" to him that everybody on blue is botting an AFK EC trader. After all, it's what makes the blue population so high.

I didn't say everyone was boxing in the tunnel. I was just explaining to him how things work. If you aren't doing anything they can detect as far as boxing then you won't get caught. There is no way a GM would be able to connect a trader in EC to another character camping an item. It wasn't a dig to the community, it is just the way it is when rules are not hard coded in.

I didn't mention population and don't really care about the number of people logged in. Your obsession with project 1999 population and its relevance is rotting your brain.

Make a petition, your account was not allowing you to make threads because it is new and it needed to be approved by mods. The only legal way to do it is wait for the staff to approve your ip exemption which could take a couple weeks. A VPN would work but is illegal here so they will ban you if they find out you are using one to log in two characters from the same home.

Oh I have no desire to be banned. Guess my wife and I will just have to suck it up and wait. Thanks HN for your assistance.
