So I don't think the distinction matters -- by having the rule this way anyone with multiple accounts is immediately suspect, will likely get reported just for having multiple accounts, and will indeed be at risk of being banned. With a rule like this, the only way to multibox is actually to not play the accounts together, but instead use a second account as a mule. The rule might as well be that "you can have multiple accounts but only for storing items".

They allow "having multiple accounts" and "launching the client multiple times" and therefore they claim "multiboxing is allowed under this broad definition". But when they are itching to ban for what is "technically allowed", you might as well hack, bot, exploit, cheat, etc in this game instead of multibox because you're less likely to get reported for doing any of those things. I mean, it's pretty obvious to see someone with multiple accounts, but most people won't recognize bots and hacks.

Sad, but their rules. Sorry for promoting this pile of crap.
yeah exactly what concerns me. I'd be more likely reported and suspected for playing by their rules and being any good at it, than if I went and deliberately coded in delays to have the second account act more like a bad two box setup from eq 1 days. It's irritating but I'm going to guess it's not something they're gunning to enforce until and unless they find it being a big issue in PVP or whatever. It'll crimp my style a bit but I'm just going to make sure nothing happens too in-sync and wait and see for awhile.
