Pugzii Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Greetings! I play from my University halls in the UK. I have flat mates who also want to play but they will obviously be connecting from the same IP (500 or so of us are linked via the same static IP) Will this be an issue? Matt Link to comment
MVP Samaritan Posted April 15, 2014 MVP Share Posted April 15, 2014 Welcome to the community! Hi, as far as I know you this has happened with a few people in the community and it seems to be ok. I'm not sure what the answer is but do the following: 1. Use the search function (I'm sure this has popped up before) 2. Message an admin with your question (They may answer it in the thread so give it some time before you PM them) Hope this helps. Link to comment
Pugzii Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 My friends are unable to register though. Link to comment
Emerald Fozzy Posted April 15, 2014 Emerald Share Posted April 15, 2014 Message an admin. Pretty sure it's the only way to sort it out. Link to comment
MVP Samaritan Posted April 15, 2014 MVP Share Posted April 15, 2014 I think what the issue is, is that you cannot make multiple accounts from the same IP. You can play the mod etc as you will all have different GUID's/PID's. There have been cases where family members have been on the same IP etc and I'm sure there is a way of doing this but unfortunately I don't know what it is. Like I said if none of the staff comment in the near future message an admin. Sorry I cannot help more. Link to comment
Emerald Toorrik Posted April 15, 2014 Emerald Share Posted April 15, 2014 Your friends wil have to go somewhere else to register. Like a Starbucks with Wifi or something. Anywhere else that has a different IP. As long as you let us the staff know that there will be 2 accounts on the same IP, there wont be an issue. Link to comment
Legend Sin Posted April 15, 2014 Legend Share Posted April 15, 2014 Oh hi. I'm working on this. Stand by. Toorrik's suggestion is a good one. Both parts. We need to know if people are playing from the same IP ... it sometimes causes problems. Link to comment
Pugzii Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Amazing responses guys thanks alot! Great idea Toorrik! We can always pop down the road to starbucks Link to comment
Legend Sin Posted April 15, 2014 Legend Share Posted April 15, 2014 How many people are we talking about here? If everyone's able to sign up using Starbucks or cell phones or whatever, that's best, but don't forget to let us know who you are. Failing that, I think there's a way to short-circuit the timeout message. Link to comment
MVP Samaritan Posted April 15, 2014 MVP Share Posted April 15, 2014 Give a list to the admins of the people who will be using the same IP, so that they are aware of this. Best of luck! Link to comment
Pugzii Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Yeah there will be about 3 from my flat and then 2 more but they are not attached to this IP so it will not be an issue. We will just register via WI-FI at Starbucks Looking forward to applying and getting in-game. Thanks guys. PS: Which admin should I forward the list of players who will come from this IP to?

MVP Samaritan Posted April 15, 2014 MVP Share Posted April 15, 2014 I would say Sin, because he has already commented on this thread so he is already aware of it. Oh and make sure its one person per Starbucks/free Wi-Fi spot. Link to comment

Arcad Malarkey Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 To make it more easy, search for a free VPN or Proxy (google it, there's tons of them), it will be a lot easier than going to Starbucks for every one of you Link to comment

I don't think Rolle/staff likes people hiding their IP's. (I think I'm right in saying this ) Link to comment

I don't think Rolle/staff likes people hiding their IP's. (I think I'm right in saying this ) Sometimes you don't have the choice.. Some campuses "block" students from playing games or visiting some very interesting pages if you know what i mean.. Anyway, since it's just for applying, using a VPN or Proxy just for subscribing would be the same thing than going to a free wifi hotspot, just that you don't have to move your ass by going there EDIT : Playing with a VPN is another thing, i understand very well if admins do not appreciate that idea too much.
