Quick Question about AFKing rings - Guild Wars Forums

Coridan · Jul 06, 2007, 07:12 PM // 19:12

Ok so I am currently at work..and running GW in the background to AFK the rings. If I leave my pc on and my toon logged into GW....what happens when i get home and try to log in? Will i be able to ? or will it say you are already logged in....with my comute it could get me an hour or more of AFK time...but I don't want to take the risk that i won't be able to log in all weekend if i don't logout from work first. Anyone know for certain what will happen?

I am 98.4% sure that when you log into an account the "second" time, that it automatically logs out the "first" instance. I know for a fact that I have done this at home at least once. So you should be safe to AFK some rings on your way home from work.

I know I read somewhere that that was how it worked. And once (probably more than once) I was too lazy to run upstairs and log myself off of the other computer, so I just logged in and kept on playing. If I remember right when I finally got around to the other computer it was sitting on the login screen.

It works exactly as Pynne says.

When you go into work the next day you'll see an error message on your screen. Just hit OK or whatever the option is and you'll be good to log back in.

That is how scammers work,u give someone ur login and password when they try and buy ur account u think it is ok cause ur logged in and next thing ur kicked and password is changed. so if it works for scammers if should work for you
