  1. And as stated above, you may not program your keyboard to perform functions on more than one account at a time.
    a. For example, if you press W on your keyboard to move forward, a single character on a single account should move forward. The keystroke or mouse click should not perform functions on more than one account.
They can't actually determine whether you're pressing one button to move two guys at the same time, or pressing two buttons to move two guys at the same time. Or if you're using two physical keyboards instead of one. It really doesn't matter how you achieve playing them together.

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.
