yes, thats fine.

under the new rules, even a single person can have unlimited number of accounts.

However, be warned that SHARIN accounts tis a bannable offense. So yer done can run multiple clients on one comp, or haver several people at several comps in the same household, but yer cannot be loggin in fer yer grandson ter do ingame things fer him witout riskin a ban.

This is the dumbest rule in the ToS.

Not at all. It done doth savers alot o time an expense fer Gameforge, as well as avoidin players havin an unfair advantage over others. Iffn someone lets someone else user their account, an they steal an item or diamonds or any other booty, Gameforge no hast ter replacer it. Also, can yer imagine what some toons twould be like fer ppl who be able ter haver that toon runnin 24-7? Tis a good rule. Badly enforced tho. But a good rule.

i just don't see HOW they can enforce it. whats not to say you went to your friend's house and logged onto your account through their client/comp? how does GF know who is actually behind the keyboard, and how do they know if something is account sharing?

heck, even if you have 2 houses, each with a desktop, and you regularly switch between them and play RoM, by GF's logic, you are account sharing....

the only exception i can think of is if IP's many miles away from each other access the account minutes apart.


i mean, sure, people share accounts, not saying they don't, just wondering how they differentiate between people who play on multiple computers/locations, and who is sharing their account with their friends.

I have my client set up on a laptop, so, my isp is always different (Maryland, New York, Colorado, and Florida), so, yeah, how can they tell?

The only way to really tell is if you recorded, or were recorded, doing so or saying you were doing so.

And it boggles my mind at how many people do that

This thread wnt off-topic into a different discussion altogether, but let me try and address some of the raised issues:

Quoted from "gardi"

Is it permissible to have two accounts in the same household?

Yes.

Quoted

Two family members would have individual accounts on their own computers but sharing the same ISP address.

Not a problem.



Account Sharing:
This is indeed a bannable offence but there's more to this most might realise. In terms of the OP looking to play with the grandson, there isn't any problem whatsoever.
Problems occur when Player A shares account info with player B and then we find player A has a ticket at Customer Support claiming they've been hacked and all their gear is missing.
Upon investigating, it is found that player B has had routine access to the account of player A and it is this player that has unbound all of the gear and sold it to gain gold.
We take Account Security very seriously and in the example above, player A will have to live with their loss because they shared the account info.

As for the OP, I can acknowledge that Grandparent might have knowledge of the Grandchild's account info but there shouldn't be any need to abuse that knowledge.

Let me ask you this:
How many of us know the username and password to friends/parents email, facebook. whatever-else? Do we go in there and mess about?
