Admin Notice: Server testing #5

[Agmen of Eladesor]

Silmarillion, stop posting. Don't log onto the server with more than one character at a time. Got it?

Technically, this rule should also have added to it at the end: 'at the same time'.

This one causes the most grief and/or questions. Yes, it is perfectly acceptable to have two (or more) people in the same house or on the same IP flying ships. Yes, it is perfectly acceptable if you have two computers and multiple accounts for you to briefly (and by that we're talking about 2-3 minutes) log on so that you can do equipment transfers - just don't do that when the server is more than 3/4 full. (We know dead drops in space can sometimes just disappear.)

What is not acceptable is to have two traders chugging down the lanes where we can obviously tell that one person is controlling both ships. Or someone pulling another ship across a sector, when (again) it's obvious no one is in the second ship. Or for that matter, having a trader being 'escorted' by another ship - again, where it's obvious that there's only one pilot for both ships. Any and all of these are multi-boxing, which is not allowed on our server. Other servers may (and do) have different rules on this rule.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
