Two accounts for more character slots?

[johnnnnyyyyy]

Long time warhammer player here, also have serve adhd, i keep deleting rerolls considering i enjoy both destro and order. I wanted to know where we stand with having another account just for more slots. I would never have both instances logged in at same time, just want space for more rerolls. GM thoughts? Spent way too much time on my characters to risk a ban so wanted to know where we stand first. Not interested in multiboxing or abusing , simply want more slots for rerolls.

They should allow a single box with multiboxing. Mainly for healing bots. Yeah, I said it. Call me based or whatever you want. I couldn't care less. I don't like or care about guilds either. All they are is some "council" of players using others to get whatever they personally want. It's been the biggest bs in mmorpg history since the eq days. Nothing but elitist self-entitled jerks do the guild drama imo. Let people play the game. You're not making money on this, it's for fun apparently. Or greatly nerf PVE PQ bosses. Give players some freedom to do stuff outside of groups of other people. There needs to be a solo self found mode in mmorpgs. Because they are fun to play, the classes are unique and awesome, they have a different feeling from other games, and there shouldn't be people acting anally retentive telling you how you should enjoy the game. Make it happen.

I have no idea what personal experience with guilds made you write that, but the idea of multi boxing a single healer for PvE purposes is interesting.

For example, levelling characters has become really boring to me: T1 is often times a matter of being spawn camped or spawn camping. I am sure more people really enjoy the latter, I find both of those experiences equally boring. Also, the RvR lockout prevents the very few who would swap side from doing so, since getting out of T1 asap is the top priority of any sane player.
T4, on the other hand, is nowadays full of warbands that have CR, or even RR, requirements, which often times leave out lowbies for the sake of having more powerful players, and this is especially true for damage dealers (DPS), who get their whole toolkit at 40 (making it understandable that they are sought after only at level cap), but who are, at the same time, the worst classes to solo PvE on (with a few exceptions, like marauders).

That said, I don't think it will happen: there are other priorities, devs have already their hands full with balance patches and whatever, and allowing multi boxing would introduce even more work for them, additional work that they don't really need at the moment.

What is needed, instead, is a clear stance on the topic of having multiple accounts: if it's tolerated or not.
Also, if multiple accounts are allowed, the lockout mechanic should be removed, since it could easily be circumvented by splitting one characters on two accounts (by making order-only and destruction-only accounts).

why not multi boxing? because its an multiplayergame. yes they dont get money from this, but your conclusion is wrong: BECAUSE they dont receive money you can be happy for every ruleset they made, if u are not paying u are not the customer, you are the product(dont take it word for word) if u cant/dont want to play with others for whatever reason: play a single player game.

Hey, hey .. i literally said i wasn't interested in multiboxing. i support the decision to not allow it. i wanted info on having a second account for more slots, allowing multiboxing would create a ton of abuse and clog up server bandwidth

the "official " policy is no more than 1 account. HOWEVER GM's have stated in past that they realize people use more than one for like you said more toon slots. Im NOT saying they wont do anything, its seems to be a policy atm of. Dont MultiBox and they will leave you alone,

Their latest post on the topic, afaik, is this one: viewtopic.php?p=581941&hilit=Accounts#p581941

Considering the tone of the reply and the last sentence, it seems that having two accounts was at the time tolerated. What's more important is that this stance was expressed while replying to a post about the possibility to circumvent the old lockout, which was stricter, by using two accounts.

That said, a clear stance on the topic would be much better, even in light of the new lockout, and even if the stance hasn't changed a bit.

Finally, has anyone ever be banned for logging on two accounts just to pass items/gold from one account to the other? It's multi boxing but maybe it's tolerated just as much as having two accounts.
