i regularly use 2 clients to mule cr/ce

I posted it and the posts got deleted.

The message I got from support was that they didn't want me to post topics about using alts to loop levels that have coins/heat on the ground because its considered an exploit. They didn't specifically say that looping was an exploit though so up to you.

As far as multiple clients its only to do with the client installed from the SK page itself, the one from steam you have to do all kinds of proxying and such since you can't run multiple steam clients on the same machine.

There is definitely a benefit....why not get 4 times the amount of crowns/heat when the only thing different is 2x the hp on mobs. If the levels are already so easy why not get 4 times the crowns/heat at once?

I think it's ok in some situations. Me and my brother have one computer. To trade, we have to open the game twice, otherwise we have to pay mailing fees, something most wouldn't have to do. I think they should just keep people from making multiple accounts, and make it so multiple cilents cannot sign onto the same to the same account.

Hello my fellow Anatidae (duck). You post makes sense. That is all.

Looping arenas= ok unless OOO states otherwise

Uh, no. The ToS says don't exploit bugs. There is already code to prevent the obvious ways of looping levels, which implies that the non-obvious methods are an exploit. Until I hear from a ringer that looping is ok, I'm going to assume that it probably isn't. You can make your own decision, I put your above claim that it is ok in the same category as people who say that scamming is ok.

As far as I have heard, looping a level using an anchored knight (stationary account) is considered an exploit and should be avoided. This is what I've heard from other players, and it does indeed sound like something Three Rings would consider an exploit.
Normally, you should get a message saying something along the lines of "Unable to join party until it has reached Depth 8/18/29," but if done correctly you can take advantage of your stationary account.

I guess it'll be an open debate until an admin comes by to confirm it for us, and I guess we can spread the word from there (if allowed).

Uh, I don't think launching multiple clients is an issue, but rather looping a level, most commonly an arena.

I suggest, if OOO doesn't want people to do lvl loops with stationary alt accounts, it should send out an official statement as ingame message to all players that makes clear what exactly you're not supposed to do here. Or even better: fix it (like: noone can join an instance where he pressed less team buttons than in all "copied sub-instances" of this instance total). A lot of players are doing this looping and I don't think they are aware they're doing something wrong.

I don't think this is a "protection", you're talking of a bug that happens when you change focus from the window fast / often. It not exclusive to using multis, it happens to people that p.E. read emails while they're waiting for the lvl to rotate, too ;)

Also, this is definitely "fixable". Might just not be that easy depending on how SK / instances work. There's many possibilities, just an examcple:
- cloned gate instance could inherit "total team buttons that have been pressed during the run" from original instance.
- player instance history keeps original_instance_id.sub_instance_id.total_buttons_pressed for a while.
- If any one sub_instance had more buttons pressed than the sub_instance you're trying to join, then you can't. Or maybe: make it 2+ buttons more to make unpredictable "can't join bugs" less likely to occur.
... just an example. There's probably many other, possibly simpler solution.

You've just necroed, Luke.

Here are the following rules:
No looping allowed.
A maximum of 3 free accounts allowed to be logged in at once. Paid accounts are not restricted by this rule.

Everything else is fine, there are restrictions in place to prevent exploitations otherwise. If you use one to pay the elevator ride, then there's still mist being used. And if there are two free accounts, they share the mist. So one paying for another's ride will consume 20 mist from your account.

Also, please check the timestamps of the previous posters before you post.

Looping is a process in which you switch parties and take advantage of the "Go Solo"'s ability to duplicate items to run the same profitable levels multiple times (such as arenas).

Measures have been put into place to prevent it, but it still exists to a minor extent.

Is it a Bannable Offense to "Carry" your Alt through RJP to get your Alt Jelly Gems? I had Recently did this for "Rikku-The-Huntress" for her to Obtain her Antigua, nothing else. It is now a Silversix.

That is correct. You may have up to 3 free accounts with thier own seperate mist tanks open at once.
More than that is against the rules, you are exploiting a server bug.

Not that it's easy to run more than three clients on the same computer. My PC gets audio and video tearing at 4. Haven't tried 5 yet but I intend to.
