| While sharing gear/resources between secondaries is now allowed (and has
been for a while), multiplaying is still not allowed. While that leaves
some grey area, I would like to clear it up. Specifically, using spells and
abilities with one character to enhance the performance of another
character. What this means is things like being in a group with a healer
who dies, switching characters to revive the healer, and then switching
back to play with said healer again. Or logging in with your bard character
and then singing up your party members, only to then switch to your mage to
play with them. This is essentially a form of multiplaying. I'm not
suggesting it is the same tier as outright having multiple characters on at
once, but it's close enough and really it has needed to be cleared up for
some time. I am going to clear up the rules section about this, but in the
meantime I wanted to let you know that this is not really appropriate
behavior, and should not be continued. I am, however, in this case, willing
to allow things that do not really use spells or abilities to benefit you.
Things like logging into a lvl <= 15 char to get the item for killing
Tiamat. I am limiting this for now to specifically using spells/abilities
to buff, revive, heal, etc other party members via a character who is not
actively playing with said party members, or dragon lords for that matter
(though I will also be addressing that in a separate way at a later point).
Basically any shared effort between yourself and others should be done with
only 1 character of yours and only 1 of theirs. I am also going to say that
since this has been a grey area and I don't expect rules to be read
immediately necessarily, that I would recommend anyone who catches someone
doing it for now to give a warning for the first infraction, just so no one
says they didn't know. |
