Using second account to…
« on: March 13, 2024, 06:44:10 PM »
Are there rules as to what behavior is not allowed?

For example:
Is being logged into two countries at once in order to know the specific location of other players welcome?
They're casting their bait over there, see?

I doubt there is any "officially enforced" rules about that. I say its anything goes now as long as it brings another paying sub in a dwindled game that isnt blantant hardcore cheating

I see, hmm.

Well, how about using it to target another player, aka “griefing”, is that welcomed behavior in AH?

Two different countries could be a problem. Tempting the gods? Sometimes ne else is too. In different way, pretty disappointed.

I need a happy meal.

Completely lame, but not sure how you can successfully ID it.  Can't be too hard to create a second account or have a friend create one.  Oddly enough it seems like it may be more persistent now than when we had 500+ up playing.  IMO it falls into the "annoying, but nothing I can do about it so screw it..."

I would say using two accounts to spy or any form of griefing a player/team would be out of bounds. Or at least it should be.........


But with today's players who knows what they will think is legitimate.

I have 2 accounts, one for myself and I pay for my nephew. There is only one PC that runs MS Windows for the both of us and it's at my home. He flies when he visits from school on weekends or holidays as he only has a MacBook at school. I got him his own account so I wouldn't have to account for anything he does in game. I'm sure he'd do nothing to embarrass me but I don't want to have to keep up on any interactions he has with folks. It'd be a PITA at best and disingenuous at worst being a different person behind the in-game handle.
I have had a bad experience sharing an account in the past when I went to the AW convention in 1998. I left my PC and AW account open for anyone to use that didn't bring a PC to Con while I was away touring the aircraft carrier in SF Bay on day 2. Apparently someone(s) used my account to taunt, say vile crap and be complete holes affixed to a derriere in the arena while I was away. It took me a long time to clean that up-especially with one player and friend. Lesson learned.
If it is a problem or seems a problem to the community, I'll certainly shut his account down despite knowing nothing untoward is going on as we can't log on at the same time anyhow. It's not worth anyone even thinking we are sketchy in this regard.

I wasn’t even suspecting it until he announced doing so on 200 today.

People have been banned for using a second account to identify track and harass players. It's hard to identify except when the culprit is stupid enough to admit it on a live stream that was recorded  :devil

The official statement from HTC is you are not allowed to have 1 account logged into the game on one country and another account on another country at the same time.

Having multiple accounts is not a violation. Having multiple accounts logged in at the same time on the same country is no different than 2 people on seperrate accounts.

No, that is not allowed.
