Four Bot Characters at once - How many accounts are allowed per person?
That's my question, also since the F2P phase of DAOC just started it should be even easier to create many multiple bot accounts (besides from the 'classic' buffbot accounts we know). So the abusement of the gaming system should be even easier for those who intend to get themselves advantages over 'regular' players who play normal and fair.
Just recently today where i had the situation at Molvik BG that just ONE player used at least up to 4 accounts simultaneously. Animists to put out several mushroom pets at once at the ck, giving him a lot of 'horse power'. One bard for mezzing, healing, rezzing and also a light eldritch for stun and damage (i just missed the warden for auto-bubble).
I am asking myself where is the end?
I myself try to play 'fair' how it is intended to be with 'just' one account since 2001. I got the idea back then of having buffbot accounts for stealthers, which then lead to having a light advantage to others who don't have buffs.
But where is the end? Having 4 accounts with animists to spam the keeps full of pets, a healer that could rezz me etc. pp?
Isn't that kind of abusing the whole system? If not, shall i get me also 4 free accounts for having auto-Bubble, speed, shield block, pet spam at once, too?
My 2 cents and wishes.

Common understanding is that multiboxing/macro-teaming is not allowed in RvR zones.
Official RoC/ToS are not so clear in my opinion but maybe an official person can comment on that
You can have bots in the Frontier/BGs of course, but you can’t actively play them.

Huh? You're telling me all those people running around with 1 buffbot stuck to them and tabbing back and forth is illegal?
I've watched some very poor players zerg surf in the Hib zerg recently, and they obviously weren't buff bot type classes, just people trying to figure out how to play the class.
That is correct.
Hard to proove it’s one person playing them both though.

Yes, you can play two toons in nf, as long as they are not macroed. Ignore Daredant. He is still mad his friend got banned for cheating
The developers of the game, told Nate you CANNOT actively play 2 toons in NF. Which is why his Reaver got banned. He wasn’t macroing.
You can have inactivate bots only.

No he was using AHK, which is allowed.
He had multiple reavers, on different computers, using different keyboards. He has never used a macroing program.
The developers said you CANNOT play more than 1 toon in RvR period.

lets find out.

Stop trying to defend him literally no one cares about 7K.
There's a reason he can only get a group in Hib...

Pretty sure most if not all play all realms, or at least two out of three, and with the realm timer only being activated with rps earned, then how easy is it to log into a realm, join a bg, do a /bg groups or /bg count and find out all the information you need..... And with everyone, playing everywhere, and multiple Discord channels that can be easily browsed to see a good count on numbers etc. Spying seems to be the norm now. I've even seen players in discord who appear to be talking while dueling at Trelle/Moy/Folly. No one cares nowadays.
The original post seems a bit vague and seems to discuss at large macro groups.
In a rvr zone except poc and df it's illegal to have it macroed where I hit 3 and it goes to both game windows.
Ya I think everyone gets that, but we're asking if running around with a bot on your tail is allowed without special software aiding your keystrokes etc.
There are two hib light tanks + bards that do this on a daily basis and roam solo areas.
You see the problem, if it's one per account the heal bot is a no, if it's no software for buttons then sooo many things are allowed, if it's one input per action then even more are allowed, if it's whatever seems fair then it's bs just making sure people don't quit that pay enough..
I do feel bad though because this is very hard to enforce and have rules that are not exploitable, aka how do you know it was software and not my 3 year old playing?

This implies to me that playing multiple characters at once in RvR is allowed, since they made sure to clearly state you cannot use software/hardware to control multiple characters, not say it's not allowed to play multiple accounts.
It just has one small flaw: It is contradicting the RoC
and since we all dont sign up to the grab bags when we start the game, but we sign up to the ToS and RoC, they should probably update them
In any case, usually the Grab Bags are there to clarify the interpretation and intentions of the BS Team for another article in the RoC that reminds us to apply common sense whenever acting in the game. it is this one:
So in conclusion, i would say, if someone really manages to control several accounts at once in rvr, manually, no EC accounts, that is probably not punished since it would be a real accomplishment
The BEST addition to the game has been The Buffinator in the shape of Supremacy Potions but even that has been lost to the "pay to play" direction OUR game has de-volved into. Multiple account play ruined Dark Age of Camelot.
