erm, 2 accounts at once?

I dont think they check your IP's for multiple logging in, they check your UID.

I dont think they check your IP's for multiple logging in, they check your UID.

 

 

 

What is an UID?

[kripz]

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.

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

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.
