April 22, 200620 yr I dont think they check your IP's for multiple logging in, they check your UID. What is an UID? This signature is intentionally left blank.
April 23, 200620 yr Its a number the runescape client generates based on your computer, this number is stored in the .file_store32 folder. Search for uid.dat, thats where its kept, its encrypted though. So if your on a network, Computer 1: IP: 201.201.201.1, UID: 123 Computer 2: IP: 201.201.201.1, UID: 124 Now lets say you log in. Computer 1: IP: 201.201.201.1, UID: 123, Character: Zezima Computer 2: IP: 201.201.201.1, UID: 124, Character: The Old Nite As you can see the IP's are the same, but the UID is different. Now lets say you multiple log in on the same computer. Computer 1: IP: 201.201.201.1, UID: 123, Character: Zezima Computer 2: IP: 201.201.201.1, UID: 124, Character: The Old Nite, N0valyfe Runescape will detect that The Old Nite and N0valyfe have the same UID + IP, therefore must be running on the same computer. Without UID's everyone on dialup will be banned as there IP changes all the time, Runescape will think there character sharing or something.
April 23, 200620 yr My sons and I are regularly logged in together (especially in the hols!), using the same sort of set up. No problems so far (ie in 2 years). as long as you dont interact in the game like trade or talk to eachother jagex probably wont notice
April 23, 200620 yr One of you could use the browser version and use a proxy with firefox or something. That might get you banned with account sharing since you would be logging in from all these different ips though.
