umm split the screen in a legit way?

set the daoc client resolution to where two windows fit on screen, or have a second monitor...

more then 2 toons on 1 pc? or on multiple PCs?

because EA Bioware Mythic started banning people that used programs to launch more then 2 clients per pc

This all can be legally done. You can run macros however you can run software that changes one click into multiples as long as the player has to physically press the button. This qustion was brought up by chosend in warhammer. Andy from mythic posted the use of hardware like g-series keyboards to set multiple keys to one button was acceptable but repeating macros where a player can walk away wad not.

Three comps set with a multiport switch set on three monitors and one keyboard and mouse. Most of these switches run about $60. Each comp runs two accounts. Each monitor split screen with 2 chars. Then set your g-series to do assist and face, enemy nuke all to one key.

notice how you say... ANDY and WARHAMMER

a guy not on the daoc staff, and a game not daoc...

DAoC's policy has always been 1 click 1 action, reguardless of software, hardware, or even a pecking water bird setup...

multiple actions, or split commands have been confirmed as a NONO for daoc long ago..

now hardware they cant detect, if its true hardware macro.. the g-series keyboards ARENT ... they just have special keys mapped via software but without the software they dont do anything... so its not realy a "hardware" solution... its the same as any of macro program just the keyboard has special keys to trigger it instead of mapping the macro to ALT+f2

I used to run 6 accounts, 2 accounts per computer in window mode. I ran hardware aka kvm switch to do most of the work. I lost 3 accounts already since then. I've known people that use software that have lost their accounts. Hardware or Software it doesn't matter. Although I have appealed a few of them, but nothing has ever happened, but yet I get a ban? lol, damn hypocrits. My guess is that they are splitting profit with mythic.

My point about warhammer wasn't to say g keyboards are ok in daoc, but to show that mythic had a change in policy to the game they were focused on. This was brought on by pressure from the community. And since there doesn't appear to be any bannings for the macro groups daoc may have adopted the dame policy.
Not that it matters bc mythic doesn't run daoc anymore anyways

Same people work on daoc, just under another company name though.

and the fact that sense the EA buy out 90% of the "Mythic" staff has been let go and replaced....

but yeah.. the 3 people still working on daoc might be originaly from Mythic...

if they didnt get reshuffled into some other job at Bioware, like WAR... and some Bioware people asigned to daoc...

He used 1 PC.
I used 2 PC's in the passt to run 4 toons at the same time.
