Question about multiboxing policy
Posted: Wed May 06, 2026 9:00 pm
Hello. I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this question; I did not see a section to ask about policy rules.
My wife is currently thinking of joining me on octowow. We live in the same household and because of that we may appear to a GM that we are multiboxing because we share the same IP even though we are not on the same computer and are managing our accounts separately as distinct individual persons.
If I am playing with my partner, we may want to participate in a battleground together. We will absolutely want to do LFT parties together. My concern is that I don’t see the definition of multiboxing explicitly outlined and, since it is not outlined someone with the power to lock an account may just interpret that as two accounts that share the same IP address. Is there an opportunity for nuance here? Should we just not be allowed to play together?
