Playing with Brothers from same area.

Hi there, as the topic states, if i play from the same game room as my brothers do i get banned? How does this work?

Yeah, it would look like the same person because you'd have the same IP address. I'm worried about the same playing with my spouse.

I'd like to think they could make an exception when the characters are obviously acting independently with no doubt about it. But who knows.

EDIT: Ah, there's this within the rules:

If you play from the same household (example: husband and wife, father and son etc.) you must play the same realm. If you try to play different realms, it will be considered cross-realming.

So, I guess it's not just based on IP and you should be fine within the same realm.

I read if there are two accounts behind the same IP you should be ok, but if and when they check on you and you can’t prove you’re two separate people you’re in trouble!

If you can, no worries, and a flag can be placed on your accounts/IP I guess.

alright cool, yea it's me and my 3 brothers atm hopefully me making this post prevents some sort of wierdness from happening. I'm happy to share pics to mods if they need some sort of evidence. Got banned on uthgard for same reason, after a month of grinding to 50 it was pretty lame.

You should be fine as long as you adhere to this rule the mods have in place:

Taken from the Rules section:
"1.2 A player is not allowed to log his/her account and another players account at the same time.

1st offense: Warning and 3-day ban for both accounts
2nd offense: Permaban for both accounts ( If the second logged account was not involved in the 1st offense, the account will receive the 3-day ban)

If you are playing from the same household and one of you has to AFK for more than 10 minutes, make sure to log out of the game as you might get tested for dual logging. If, after 10 minutes, the test fails, the ban will be applied."

I'll preface my following statement with this: I'm new to DaoC. I don't know if there is an auto-logout function based on time afk but I haven't found it yet (AFK'd in a town 30 minutes one night to come back to my character still logged in). If any of you are unsure how long you'll be afk when you step away from the game, the character should definitely be logged out.

Let's say you don't...
Best Case Scenario: everything is fine
Worst Case Scenario: Your accounts are tested, fail, and get banned.

Let's ere on the side of caution and perform the logout

Im having kind of the same problem. My 10 year daugther wanna play a game with me and i would like to introduce her to this lovely game. In the beginning i plan on her just running around but im not sure she wants to auto reply ppl considering we are not english native speaking, why i could fear that a GM would send her a tell and her reply would be slow if any... u know how 10 year olds are.. I would be really sad if I were to get banned, eventho i bet my wife is of another opinion.Should i make my daughter an account or is it just too risky?

If she doesn't play a bot class, and doesn't play like a bot there shouldn't be any issues. Also, most of the devs and GMs are from EU, so they possibly could talk to you in whatever language is best for you.

You guys are fine playing with multiple accounts from the same household / IP, as long as each account is controlled by a different person and all accounts are played on the same realm.
Our team will eventually cross your way to verify that you stick to the server rules.

As general advice, like others mentioned previously: If any of you guys go AFK for like 10 or more minutes, the respective character should be logged out.

When you both play at the same time you both will be tested at the same time and it will not happen via chat; you'll will see it clearly when it happens and the test is easy enough to be passed by a child.

Also if there is a language barrier (you will be with your daughter when you are tested) we usually can bring other staff members in to communicate in your native language if necessary; the team is multilingual.
