a few unofficial rules for ip exemption

[Chanus]

Is it the case that boxing is the only means by which people could lock down camps?

Are camps available to everyone currently because we don't allow boxing?

Places like Lguk and SolB are already crowded. If boxing were allowed it'd be even more difficult to try and get a group anywhere.

How do you figure that's anything other than conjecture?

Less grouping opportunities for 1-boxers if the multi-boxers can just log in another character to tank, heal, buff, slow, wtfever. THAT is what would ruin the community.

The issue is that grouping opportunities are meaningless for level 50s right now, so it's either a) "how useful would it be to the raid to be able to multi-box a mage alt in addition to my mage main to double the number of malachites I burn through?", b) "how useful would it be to lock down a loot camp with 2 or 3 characters so I can monopolize the rare drop or at least have a better shot at winning the /random on said rare drop?", or c) "how useful would it be to just have my main here to PL my alt instead of actually grouping up with other people?"

Having said that, there's tons of threads arguing for/against multi-boxing... this one is more about "Why is it not obvious that if there is a rule against multi-boxing, then you should do your best to make sure that you don't do anything that could be perceived as multi-boxing, because you will not be able to prove you weren't if someone confronts you about it."

It's called logic.

Boxing is allowed on other servers because they lack actual population. P99 gets upwards of 1k at peak time. Now if you had people boxing multiple toons you could easily double that number. The boxing debate has been played to death already. It's not going to be approved.

Hey quick question: Say you have an IP Exemption with a buddy.
But They happen to be playing from a different IP (yet you still have the IP exemption)
Will it show you are both playing from the same IP?

For example, in the case Rioisk, had his bro been playing from a different IP,
(yet they still have the IP exemption) would It still appear like they are boxxing?
Or can you tell If it's on a different IP? Or does it just show they are both exempt, therefore possibly boxxing?

And I, for one, am glad!

While it does sound kind of shady, I've done something similar. I had a friend on P99 (who lives multiple states away from me mind you) log in my alt to group up with a higher level character while I kited and PL'd. I mean, the only difference between what he was doing and what I was doing was the distance the two computers were away from each other (few feet vs. hundreds of miles).

I certainly don't believe what I was doing in anyway violated the rules. Guess this is a good reason to not have an IP exemption on any of my accounts!

We can see the IP.
