IP adresses - Guild Wars Forums

I was wondering if this is possible. Me and my brother just got Guild Wars (1) and want to play together but account sharing is (I think) 'illegal'. If we did get another game of GW would it be possible to play using the same IP adress. For games such as RuneScape and other online games like that it works just fine (It's in a browser). But for games such as Freelancer, Age Of Empires and other non-browser based games it often won't let us hook up to the same server at the same time because all our computers share the same IP adress. (GW is all one big server...

) Does GW do that?

if you own one account then only one of you can play at one time

if you own two(or more) accounts seperatly then you both can play from the same IP at the same time, me my sis and my bro do it, they recently got the game for x-mas

as a matter a fact i think you can run two "instances" of the game on the same PC as long as they have seperate logins....if you do a quick search it will show u how.

If you only have one copy of the game it is only good for one account. So if you want to play at the "same time" you must purchase another cd key if you don't aleady have 2.

You can use numerous accounts from the same IP. You can not have two people use the same account at the same time.

Running two instances on one PC is workable, but they must be seperate accounts. With only one mouse and KB, not terribly useful for two people.
