Multiboxing sur Ryzom
Multiboxing: definition
Multiboxing refers to playing as multiple separate characters concurrently in an MMORPG. This could be achievedeither by using multiple separate machines to run the game, or by running multiple separate instances of the game. Multiboxing might be considered a form of cheating. Multiboxing is considered to be difficult to do well without practice, as it involves adapting to problems in real-time.(1)The number of characters handled may vary. Generally speaking and regardless of the complexity of the game, the more characters you play, the more difficult it is to manage them. This is why a distinction has to be made between playing several accounts at the same time (multiboxing) and using external software that allows the player to facilitate the management in question (botting). In Ryzom, the first one is tolerated, but the second one is strictly forbidden, since the beginning.Multiboxing in Ryzom: what changes
Ryzom is a cooperative game, so working on it with others is a necessity. Having one particular partner, always available to help with harvesting, storage or even healing, is commonly accepted, but having an army of avatars at your command makes no sense: the game loses its essence.In order to preserve this essence and the soul of a game where collaboration is encouraged, we have decided to no longer tolerate the control of more than two characters at the same time per user and this only within the limits of reasonable usage. (Previously, the limit was four characters connecting from the same IP, in many cases all of them multiboxed by the same player.)Accordingly, the relevant article of the Ryzom Code of Conduct now reads as follows:- III.4 Multi-boxing with more than two characters (Major Offence)
- The number of characters controlled simultaneously by the same natural person is limited to two, within the framework of reasonable, measured and non-automated use. However, Customer Support may make exceptions in individual cases (such as a large family, public computer etc). If you believe you should be exempted, please contact Support at support@ryzom.com, mentioning the reason for your request along with the names of all the accounts concerned.
