Right!? Viquire are confu-zed.Ummm..what is "multiboxing"?
Playing more then one character at a time, using multiple computers or clients.Ummm..what is "multiboxing"?
What they said:Playing more then one character at a time, using multiple computers or clients.Ummm..what is "multiboxing"?
Sorry, but with the totally vague and misleading statement from the herald - nothing to that effect is clear.Example............. Char 1 is an archer running around killing stuff... Char 2 is on follow doing the same exact actions at the same time as Char 1
OR Char 2 is on follow and macro'd to heal Char 1...
Signed.They need to redo this post to the Herald so its MUCH clearer.
WE should not be the ones defining "multiboxing" or "macroing," THEY are.
Further, they need to CLEARLY define the difference between legal ATTENDED macroing vs illegal UNATTENDED macroing.
Better definitions from the Devs lead to better CS encounters.

I know, but I can tell you this much, I know what it means and I understand what they mean.. I think ppl are over complicating it and making a fuss just to do it.Well, you know, common sense isn't
exactlyTo expound on a few things.
A certain individual has bragged, openly, on other forums (and people have complained here too) that he runs 1-19 accounts. He can press one button and kill any red in fel in that one attack, which casts the same spell across all accounts being run. He has taken all 19 accounts to EM events to kill whatever and has all 19 accounts saying the same things in game and such and wasn't in trouble for it.
They have claimed they were told it was okay to multibox by an associate producer.
However, having 19 accounts all able to do the same thing with any button push is an abuse of multiboxing and multiclienting.
Sometimes I think they leave things open so as to protect themselves legally, in case they have a need to "bend the rules". In other words, not paint themselves into an unexpected corner.signed, but I still think by now people should realize what is legal and what isnt and they should read the locked thread if they dont understandSigned.They need to redo this post to the Herald so its MUCH clearer.

You didn't understand correctly. You are still allowed to have multiple clients running.Sorry but that's ridiculous if I'm understanding this correctly.
I paid for the accounts and if I want to use more than one at a time that what I'm going to do afterall I paid for it.
Yes, thats surely what they mean, but is that what the official announcement *says*. They need to be very precise when defining bannable offenses.You didn't understand correctly. You are still allowed to have multiple clients running.
I think they need to clarify, multiclienting isn't illegal, but controlling multiple client instances with any outside program to be automated and controlled by one account is illegal.Yes, thats surely what they mean, but is that what the official announcement *says*. They need to be very precise when defining bannable offenses.You didn't understand correctly. You are still allowed to have multiple clients running.
Then they need to come out and say that. That's not what I gather from reading the brief and vague announcement.You didn't understand correctly. You are still allowed to have multiple clients running.
Exactly. They need to be clear in their definition of multiboxing. Perhaps they're synonymous but I find it interesting they use term "multiboxing" rather "multi-clienting"?Yes, thats surely what they mean, but is that what the official announcement *says*. They need to be very precise when defining bannable offenses.
"Multiboxing is not illegal but Macroing is, and this is considered macroing in UO"Again, the information left by the devs. could not be more clear.
The first clause of the announcement says, "Multiboxing is not illegal . . . ." I agree that the announcement, as a whole, is confusing. However, the "Multiboxing is not illegal" portion is pretty clear.Then they need to come out and say that. That's not what I gather from reading the brief and vague announcement.You didn't understand correctly. You are still allowed to have multiple clients running.
Heh. This is only a problem because some people try to push the envelope.Yeah, they are keeping their options open. Look at it this way if you are unsure:
If you get banned, you were doing it.
Are you kidding me?Again, the information left by the devs. could not be more clear.
Multiboxing (multiclienting) is not illegal. This means that using more than one comp to run UO or running more than one client is not illegal, as long as you control each one separately. If you are not controlling them separately, this is considered macroing and is therefore illegal."Multiboxing is not illegal but Macroing is, and this is considered macroing in UO"Again, the information left by the devs. could not be more clear.
Yeah crystal clear...
All of those can be done with multi-clienting... (2 clients and two monitors) which is attended.A lot of people assume that if you multibox, then you are unattended macroing all the time.
I've multiboxed several times and never macro unattended. It's the easiest way that you can do certain things such as:
- Transfer pets between characters
- Transfer a houses to a different account
- Add another of your own character to your own guild
I know exactly what they are talking about after seeing the other threads here and at UO Forums.com.If you observe a player using multiboxing please report them and CS will investigate the report, per the TOS.
Legal you are only moving one character at a time with a single set of harwareok I have a question I always use 1 comp and have 2 clients running when im setting up vendors in my houses also when im decorating and moving things around ? also recently I got bored and tried to steal some dried flowers and herds and kept getting guard whacked also the I had been trying to get the chisels to spawn in brit carpenter shop (no luck I dont think they spawn any longer) and same thing repeatable kept getting guard whacked so finally instead of running around looking for healers I just used my 2nd acc to rezs myself, is this not legal? I also used a char to gate and rezs other chars trying to get the Easter items from blight grove what about that? I never use macros while doing this I just cast spells the normal way dbl clicking the icons...
It would be nice if they could clearly this a little better.
Thank you for the responseLegal you are only moving one character at a time with a single set of harware
