You know how you can't make 2 accounts with the same IP address or whatever? Well I just don't get if the IP Address is based on the computer you make your account on or where you log in from.

If your insisting that I am making another account. I am not. I just don't get the whole IP Address, it is confusing to me.

Checking IPs is just one of the ways GMs can determine if there is any suspicious activity.

I would suggest that this topic be closed and that we do not elaborate further on what GMs potentially can do to.

I think the point he is actual aluding to is what happens if you get a co-worker into the game and you both log on from the same work computer?

Even at home, what happens when you have a brother or other family member who also wants to play the game on a shared computer?

In simple terms, an IP is a unique number that identifies your machine/network.

There have been discussions on this already and we are all in agreement that your co-workers/family/friends can play.

As long as there is no suspicious activity between the accounts then it is perfectly fine for everyone to play.
