New Player Troubles

[Arkturis]

Hello all!

My wife and played EQ some 25 years ago and discovered this server and wanted to check it out. I got set up last night and played a little bit and wow what a blast from the past. Today, I help my wife get set up, but it appears she cannot join the same server that I'm on while I am logged in. Any suggestions on how we can fix this?

Thank you all!

Go to Forums> Library> Project 1999 Guide Book, look at 2nd post there and go down to #6 and you will see this info...


6. You may not have more than one client running per real life person playing on Project 1999 (Boxing).

There is no 'boxing' on Project 1999 servers. Boxing is defined as having more than one client running from a single computer, or having more than one client running per person in the same household on different computers. Project 1999 has an IP block on its servers to prevent players from boxing. You may apply for an IP exemption if you have more than one person in your household wanting to play by following the instructions on this forum:

Petition forums. Be sure to read the announcement sticky prior to posting to ensure all required information is contained within your petition.

Violation of this rule will result in disciplinary action, and you may lose the account(s) involved.

The exception to this rule is having one client running for Project 1999 Red PvP, one client for Project 1999 Green as well as one for Project 1999 Blue. This is allowed.


Good luck and welcome to p99!

Thanks for the information. My wife and I won't be playing on the same PC. I discovered that since we are playing in the same house, the router IP would be the same for both of us. I did find the IP Exemption request form and filled that out yesterday, hoping for a resolution soon. Taking turns playing sucks lol.

If you have a cell hotspot or VPN, one of you can use that until the exemption is processed
