"multiboxing"?

[creed666]

does anyone know why i've been banned for this, whatever god damn thing it is? i just tried logging in today and a popup came up saying i've been banned...this would be understandable, say, if i could understand just *why* i've deserved the attention of the ban hammer. so what actually IS multiboxing? multiaccounts? overattacking players? owning a poney with blue stripes whilst under LSD?

so...because i invited a mate of mine (terrego) to play on ahron it makes me a multiaccounter? damn thats tight...can't you check our IP? or do you even suspect proxy usage here? i suppose that i'm the only one affected of us both, considering he bought BG's...seriously, any way out of this one? O.o

[creed666]

oh sod it. im out.

In fact, you just need to write a letter to the Administration that you are going to play together with one more person from the same computer. That's all.

we're not on the same PC, we're living a whole town from each other! doesn't seem to make sense O.o is there a third account somewhere out there under my IP or has some mistake been made?

Answered you in PM.

Multi boxing (very poor description of 'Multi Accounts') has to be based on switched accounts relative to IP addresses.
If you have a few accounts using the same IP address at the same time but not 'switching' that coincide on the same IP the possibilities are that there are more than one individual accounts playing.
Using the same IP's but switching accounts would indicate multi accounts from the same player.
Opening two browsers from the same IP would also be indicative, but not actual of 'Multi Boxing', so it is a function of the two. Browser access and account switches and IP addresses.
IP addresses change when a router is re-started don't forget.

This they call Multi Boxing. what ever the Russian interpretation of that is.

That's why I am Bumper3 and not Bumper2 or Bumper.

I multi boxed, without realising it was an offence,

Cheers and be boxed or be damned - Bumper.

Good reference.
I hadn't realised it was recognised 'game speak'.
Thank you Sabbracadabra.

hey is it multiboxing if I have my current account(a non withdrawal account) and then make another 1 as a withdrawal account but dont interact between them, I ask this because I may switch between them alot to keep them both running smoothly, I would of had this account as a withdrawal account but didnt have the money on the day I had to purchase BGs to make it a premium account or click the play for free account

According to the Game Rules, players can't have two (or more) accounts.

Is it really the IP address that they use for this? Because some ISPs use NAT and could mean that many people get thrown off.

What about two people using two computers from the same IP? Do they have to ignore each other in game? "Hey, want to play this game with me? Only, we can't talk or interact at all."

Playing from the same IP has no restrictions. Playing from the same computer has.
