Send it again please; Community@swgemu.com. As of Tuesday of this week, all outstanding emails from over the holidays were responded to.

Thanks.

[conard]

Thank you for the response I just resent it.

How does this work with people just temporarily at the same place? If for example I would bring my comp to a LAN party, would I have to get the username of each person on the LAN playing the SWG-Emu?

[stephenbarney]

There really is no problem I have a daughter who wanted to play i emailed support created her account and waited for a responce the emailed me back now were are fine to both play works fine you do have to remember that the team had a holiday at xmas so its no surprise they may have had a backlog but you just need to be patient and give the staff a break.

So if we see someone that is obviously dual accounting, i.e. 1 guy and 3 following and all 4 are resourcing sampling always together. We should rat them out?

Multi-instancing is fine

Which one would be the correct? xD I guess you could quickly multi-instance with a friends account to help them or something but since you arn't allowed to have more than one account doing something else multi-instancing would be off-limits, am I right?

If it's the same guy but with the same account (has to be both, no account sharing) then multi-instancing is fine. I do it with my artisan and I made sure beforehand.

Also, can we ask permission on IRC support for a second account or is it only email?

Please use the e-mail. The people that take care of these issues are not often immediately active on IRC.

This isn't always the case, look at my post count, but I've been around for ages even before this new forum and site was created, and my wife plays but never even visits the forums because she believes her time would be better spent playing the game than reading about people whining about it.

The simplest solution is to just read the Rules laid out by the Dev team and follow them, just because a handful of people are "cheating" doesn't mean that you MUST to stay competitive. The best thing is to let the Dev's deal with those folks.

[Spudhussey]

I'm not sure what there is to stay competitive about. The game isn't even finished, play, enjoy and try to help the developers get a finished product out that they are satisfied with. Find and report bugs and move the game along. :-)

I also sent an email about this, I have 3 comps at home, my wife, brother-in-law, and myself all play together, and am hoping to do so in EMU. Currently I have an account and am awaiting a reply as to the others.
