Hi, without wanting to search for an answer Im posting here instead Big smile

If I decide to have another account, is it possible to run both accounts at the same time no problem?

Thanks

How?

You can run as many clients as your computer can handle.

Yes it's possible so long as they're both full accounts (i.e. you can't have a trial account and a non-trial account logged in on the same PC IIRC).

You can launch as many copies of the client as you want, same way you would launch just one.

As long as you are paying for both (one or both not being a trial) it is possible.
Just keep the launcher open and afer logging in your first account alt tab out and click play again after which a second instance of the game will open.

This is where I put my signature, right?

It is possible, but you need 2 actual accounts. You CAN'T run 2 characters on the same account at the same time. You either need to fund a 2nd subscription, or buy PLEX to sub the 2nd account in game..

Hope that helps

Search for ISBoxer.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

There have been no such policy changes I'm aware of. One of the GMs explicitly said the policy on ISBoxer had not changed.

People go read the discussion on the dev blog from the security team. There has been changes to the policy regarding ISBoxer. GM Lelouch was the one who said it was ok, but 3 days ago, he edited the 3 year old post to change the policy, basically saying that they can't say if it's ok or not.... use at your own risk as they are not sure it's not breaking the EULA.

Having multiple accounts logged in isn't a problem. Controlling accounts separately or through ISBOxer is fine, while automating it through botting will get you banned.

I'm shocked.

This is GD, I expected someone to give the OP hell for not searching, instead I see every post is a helpful response. Is this a sign of the end of days or something? Shocked

What's up?

I'd call you lazy, but it took longer to post this than it would have taken to type "multiple clients" or "multi box" into the search field.

Do a search.

It is not possible to run mutliple clients without having multiple computers. All other replies are lies and trickery to get you too purchase another account.

Sniffle Cry. Methinks everyone's all growed up!

On the other hand, maybe just temporary sanity.
