I'm not perfectly familiar with it, but if it's only for controlling multiple clients at the same time and is not used for automation/macroing then it's not against the EULA.

However we cannot take any liability or provide support for issues you get when using it. Even running two clients at the same time is not officially supported currently, so if you crash and die due to this we can't help you.

So.... does this mean if you are sitting at your computer & use a macro key to send a command to a 2nd account is legal or not?

Your statement is a little ambiguous.

PS. I got my Highways & stopped playing b4 they came in & have never used them! ...... Irony much ?

If its legal its just going to be an arms race to who can chain more accounts together for rep/transfer power or on a larger scale alpha power, though past a certain point alpha from regular players is high enough to kill anything and multiboxing just adds more meat to a squad.

Zoom would like some clarification on this, because if yes I am chaining 3 of my bots with RR/Transfer capability together and subbing 10 dedicated gropho/seth accounts so I can one shot pretty much anything from 1000m

As the goons say "One shot one kill"

awesome

instead of logoff traps online

we can play Multiboxer online and just oneshot everyone with my dozen accounts

love it

well, any multiboxing macro thing can only be made harder by turning the game into twitch based aiming... and then you would need to fight against aimbots...

Its my understanding that these tools allow more then just key binding.

You can create portal windows on your main screen, to show other screens. For instance, you can put the Robot Control bar from (3) clients all on a 4th Client. The player still has to manually click each module, but they can access them all from 1 small area. The same can be done with the squad windows.

This doesn't directly violate any eula, since it's not botting, however it does seem to create a Voltron type robot.

The simple versions, where it just passes a key stroke is fairly powerful in it self, but it doesn't really allow for changing targets or recovering from being ECM'd. The window portal version however, combined with key bindings, allows your movement keys to move all the bots at the same time, as well as activate all modules at the same time, but still being able to indiviudally control each robot's modules and locking without needing to switch between screens.

Conceptually, you create a robot with N-slots, the only limit is how many subs you have and the size of your computer.

I think Shaedy's prediction is accurate, not everyone will do this, but anyone that can afford multiple accounts will, beacuse its fairly simple to do, and you'll actually need to at some level to stay competitive.

I don't in any way consider this Botting. The player is controling everything, they're just using software to make that control easier and to provide greater scalablity.

Grophos can shoot from the forums now????

Multiboxing is definetely pay to win. Not that it's unbeatable, but the best counter would be a similar setup, and an account arms-race begins.

Also, its important to note at this particular time in Perp's growth phase, a single player with 5 accounts (operating effectively as someone playing a single account) has a much more dramatic effect on a battle then it would if say Perp's population was 1000 online players instead of 100.

Multiple accounts is just a standard for Perp. There's just a big difference in performance though, between switching monitors and clicking, as opposed to running multiple accounts with single keystrokes and clicking on the same monitor.

Not sure if this one applies. Any lawyers around?.

EULA (what is strictly forbidden) section : any kind of unfair advantage over the other players.

This can mean anything tbh, even just having multiple accounts.

Hrrrm i may or may not need to make a phone call to talk to some old friends who dont play anymore ;D.

Things that will be fun:

*5+ Mk 2 kains linked for optimal drive by 1 shots on roams.
*10 Mercenary seths of doom :DDDDDDDDDDD

But i think i know of a couple people who used to have pretty good seth pilots all over 600k EP.

Be interesting to see who was the first to deploy such a force, if this is to be deemed allowed ;D

At one point is was brought to the attention of my active use of mutliple toons in PvP. a GM told me this was bannable but a Dev later responded with it was ok.

On my first day in game i talked to a GM and requested if i would be able to use such tools as i wanted to create 5 green pilots and multi-box them. It was stated to me to be strictly forbidden and a bannable offence.

700k EP later, i will be one very unhappy but adapting player if this is to be allowed.
