I did never again care if there is or was a better method, as we did the whole crap only once. My friend does not play RoM anymore and i never found anyone insane and bored enough to try this.
There could be better methods, and if youre going to grind(!) you may aswell use Tomb of 7 Heroes easymode. should get you 8xlevel10 after what? the first two beetles?...
i dont know how long it takes to quest(!) a character from 1 to 10 on elven island, but we did this a year ago during the massive inflation, and it was certainly not worth it to keep those level 10 chars with 10charges@300 phirius coins (which means doing dailies 3 times on 320 chars...)
@yomanrom, and anyone else for that matter
You are legally only allowed a max of 5 accounts according to the User Agreement for american servers. The european servers user agreement does not specifiy a number, but GMs have specifically stated that frogster allows only 5 accounts.
i disagree atleast in the bold part. i cant check the other because the terms of use link is dead on the mainpage.
And multiclienting was explicitly allowed ages ago by Silberfuchs himself as long no external automation is used and you're playing yourself (so you actually control the clients not some other program).
It may be uncommon, but not *forbidden*.
because i actually got clearance from support back then.
okay, maybe i just flooded them with work and it was an easy way to get rid of me (i could have just ignored it and create additional accounts in a slower pace...), but after copypasting the same email asking for unblock after 3 or 4 accounts i just added a sentence "do i really need to send this email again for <account#5....account#40> because i made a lot of accounts for alt'ing".
(remember: i created 40 valid email adresses, too. those exist until today, i just tried 3. just did not find the one i argued with support from yet, but the "Registration successful" mails are still there

if i find it, i may just upload it to pastebin - but ofc it was in german) Those accounts were created almost exactly a year ago, 15th August 2011.
The answer was a bit like "uhm, did you just say 40 accounts? im not going to do that (unblocking) just right now for the other accounts, thats some insane amount, what in all hell if not botting are you needing those for?"
(Note: they said not "no im not going to do it anyway, its too much and not allowed." They asked for the purpose. So i either could have started over creating more accounts or just tried my luck in argueing ... i tried argueing, mostly because i was sick of creating new email adresses over and over again - working ones, mind you, not 10minutemail.com ).
So i told them what i was going to do and why i need that much characters, pretty much in the same way i explained it on the first page here. Took them a day or two, but after that they replied that all my accounts mentioned should be unblocked in a couple of minutes and that it's ok as long i really dont use 3rd-party stuff because that would be against TOU/ and that they would probably check me.
(Some other arguments except the pure description were:
a) ingame economy sucks atm. Since we're unable to buy these things for diamonds (because noone sells any) and its a free-2-play game where its a matter of choice to invest either time or money, we chose time. We cant buy the charges for ingame gold atm, so we invest actual playtime.
b) the 24h deletion time on characters and not being able to have characters on the SAME account online simultaneously. Were it not for this, one account would have been enough (farm 8 to lvl10, open charges, use charges, mail stones to main, delete, create new chars...).
c) the total amount of alts results in the sheer amount of charges needed for 3xt10. would that be less like suggested ages ago and forwarded to the developer...etc pp.(*note to self: and not forwarded to /dev/null like usual :p */note*)
d) referred (had some URls to that stuff lying around) to official blue statements (which were ages old, but never reverted... in the forums that using multiple accounts in such a way is perfectly fine as long no 3rd party crap is involved etc bla. )
So we did what we did and except a single GM who at first did not really believe we were not botting (his argument was like "i do not know of any machine who can run 8 rom clients, so you must be bots.") noone ever complained.
He was satisfied after he got into actual chat conversations with every of those 8 characters and my friend uploaded a screenshot showing the 8 rom clients at once. We even told him "if you want to see live what we're doing just come to Lipuden Valley by the bridge, that's where we're going to spend the next couple o' hours doing what we just did" and gave him the ticket number so he could read the discussion we had with support already. Maybe he visited us with his invisibility on, maybe not. I dont know. We never ran into any complaints from anyone after that.
If they all did not know what they were doing, its not my problem. I told everyone who asked what the stuff was about and everyone who is supposed to give a F about it (like the one or even more than one person in support who decided after our explanation to unblock the alts and let us do what we told them we want to do, and the GM who talked to us because 8 chars in a row with random names ofcourse look suspicious) was fine with it after explanation, so we did it. period.
PS: damn from which email did i argue with support? i just checked 001-010 and nothing yet

(but we had a forwarding to a central address which i have forgotten the login data for -_-))
But as i said, it was a year ago, there may be more effecticve methods today, we were BORED back then.
