WARNING - to those who dual log!

EEEK!! Recently I got booted from Asheron's Call. The message was:

"You have been booted from Asheron's Call for a violation of the Code of Conduct"

You can imagine my horror at that! Me violating the CoC?.. I don't think so! NEVER.. I've never combat-macroed, never even done the slightest thing that might be considered wrong or cheating... The only thing I do that is 'not officially supported', but not a violation of COC, is dual-log for muling {and at one time to buff a second character for levelling}.

So what happened then?

Well.. I was helping my young vassal who decided to be red for a bit. When he opened the trade window and started putting things in it, I crashed back to desktop. It's not the first time that has happened, has happened many times, but this time, I was in a hurry to get back, because he hadn't unloaded everything of value off of him and he was scared he would lose things.

So I raced to rejoin the game.. but..

I was dual logged, and had recently brought my second account online. It was the main-char account which dropped though, not the second account.

Usually my main-char account is the last one I log on, because then I have the window up {I log in through the web-site} to quickly go back to game should I lose connection or crash. However, that was the night I had trouble joining the game, and I hadn't done as usual, logging it on first. So I went and changed the registy to point to the right directory, and typed in my pastword, I forgot to change the email!!.

So now.. I was trying to log in the same account twice... OOOPPPS!!! It let me get in as far as the characters screen, then booted me for violating CoC! It is soooooooo easy to make this mistake..

So this is a warning to those of you who dual-log like me..

be real real careful to make sure you're not trying to log the same account in twice! This would also apply to those using two computers... Don't accidently log on the same account on each computer.

EEEK!!

yeah i've had that message pop up but don't worry too much because it's just booting you off for trying to log into the same world twice and they DO NOT ban your account when that happens.

Shame on all your cheaters who take advantage of things. *sigh* *sigh* *sigh* I do everything myself. No macro's No duel-logging. If you have any questions please see my sig. Thanks.

Pssh, dual logging isn't cheating - it's useful for those of us who don't have 5423 computers

Hey I only have 2 computers. And I only use one to play AC. The other runs EQ.

LOL Pipi!

You're too funny. Truth is I wish now I had macroed when I could have and not been so 'squeamish' about it. Now 3yrs of playing later with some absences, I am only level 71.

However I don't regret I spent most of my time in-game helping others, and making friends.. People is what the game is about for me.. and I enjoy doing that.
