Multiclienting/Multi login

Are you referring to logging in to a different account, or logging into the same account from two different computers?

In any case, I doubt that anything would be actively done about it since GMS didn't allow multiple clients. I'm fairly sure that this topic has been brought up before, but you've already provided the roundabout solution in the form of VMware, which to my knowledge some people have used successfully.

In as far as self leeching goes, if i remember correctly, Kim isn't a big fan of leeching in general, much less so self leeching.

Hopefully someone can give a more eloquent reasoning for this than me. I'd like to see where the administrators stand on this issue. As far as i know, having multiple accounts (for storage, etc) is allowed.

 

First let me start off by saying I've been playing GMS since a little after the beginning and multi-clienting was never allowed or enabled by Wizet/Neckson. There were ways around it but it was never enabled by default. Since we are a GMS like server I wholeheartedly disagree with enabling this.

Now I have a a crappy Gateway NV57H laptop, which is a laptop from 2011 and I'm able to use a VM to multi client just fine. Setting up a VM is straightforward and easy, there are a lot of guides out there. If needed I can make one here but I know the staff don't necessarily support multi-clienting.

For this very reason the forum chat-box comes in handy as well as having other @GM for you, say by telling them over skype.

1) I don't quite understand what you mean.

2) Besides the fact that the server has a system in place that will "auto unstuck" you after a few minutes if you need to reach a GM that badly the forum chat-box is there for a reason.

3) To people who own one PC the same methods are available to them as they are to everyone else (besides owning a second PC). VMs, sandiebox, etc. If you really need to multi-client that badly, google is your best friend.

4) This isn't necessarily true, you're implying that everyone is going to make a bishop. When even now some of the highest level attackers (Next, Losjington, Aero etc) don't have a bishop. Also if you look at some of the higher level attackers that do have bishops you'll notice a lot of them have left. A side effect of having a bishop and leeching yourself to the top is you get so damn bored.

 

That was never a thing, show me proof otherwise but you were never able to log into the same account multiple times. Weather you think it's "a joke" or not the server strives to provide a GMS like experience. Its been said on multiple occasions.

No maple weapons: Besides the fact maple weapons are pretty op they were only given during yearly anniversary events. The server has only been open a few months and it has been said they might be given in future events.

No proper bosses: what does this even mean? All the bosses are working just like they did in GMS, save the zakum DC but thats an user GFX issue thats being worked on, so what exactly do you mean?

 

Ah ok, your wording was iffy, I get what you mean now, I don't see how its possible without fully enabling being able to multi-clienting in general. Which obviously has been denied multiple times. Though if you truly need to access another account you still can get around this by using a VM.

Also I've asked to questions you never bothered to address clarifying a few of your points.

Sorry to break it to you, but...

1. It's not GMS-like, they never enabled multiclienting in any way other than with a GM client.
2. It's a client-sided thing that, as far as my knowledge goes, can't even be changed to begin with. The blocks put in place by Legends on programs (e.g. Sandboxie I believe) can be removed but that won't make much of a change to the current situation anyway.

i really dont give a shit about this anymore .. If the GM's make it so you cant do it than everyone who has done it for the past 4 months will have more of an advantage .. If I want to log on my HS mule and duo skeles with an atker I should be allowed too (2 PC's)

I do think the self leech is pretty annoying tho , considering bishops are amongst the richest people in the server (other than people who liquidate zak helms) but whatever to each their own im over worrying about what other people on maple are doing i really didnt care much to begin with .. But to make things fair would be cool but I use 2 PC's .. I think VMware/sandbox should be not allowed

 

I agree, leeching is not my cup of tea. No need to make it easier.

 

Says the guy who leeched his sin to 70 Kappa

 

There is no way to determine hence neither prove that the character logged in is using a VM or another physical computer though...

 

Welcome to old maple. Bishop was overpowered there for the same reasons. Its nothing new that people who play bishop will just afk sell leech and make stupid money.

Dual clienting is something that shouldn't be allowed in the first place. Its not a matter of fairness or balance. It's a matter of integrity for the server.If 10 of 100 people are dual clienting on 2 computers sure they might have a advantage over those with only one computer. But it requires them to be actively using their advantage. Which isn't all that common.

Now if they make dual clienting legal for everyone. Now we have 50 to 70 people per 100 using two clients at once which artificially inflates the servers population and making us look bad.

Imagine how a new player would think of they came into the server only to find half the people were afk leeching themselves. It just looks awful and forces more people to play bishops even if they dont want to, because its the only way they can make enough money to catch up to the ridiculously inflated prices that multi-clienting will lead to. When everyone has bishops and just leeches themselves and other for money all day, you're no longer playing the game.

This change would just force people into a cornor of accepting that they'll have to be poorer than dirt, or forcing them to submit to making a bishop just like everyone else.

Id keep going but I'm on my phone. And this is murder on my fingers. I'll edit this later.

 

Bump

My view on this is to allow if possible (not sure what this sandboxie stuff is or whatever tho)

FYI, I was triple-clienting pretty much for my last 2 months with a bishop leeching a corsair, with a mule for meso-up or hb. Would've done quad-client but computer couldn't handle 3 VMs running at once. I even zak'ed with two characters at once holding down heal+dispel macro with my right toe while attacking with my corsair. To echo sentiments above, either completely disallow multiple logins by one person, or eliminate the restriction completely.

 

Why do you do this?!
