Big question, looking for legitimate answer
Reply
Posted 2004-09-23, 10:39 AM
I play my games over a shared network with my brothers and we all use the same ip address, yes with diablo2 we had a hell of a time buying those damn things, we should get a frequent buyer card or something with a discount lmao. Anyways what im wondering is if with WoW you will be able to have several people playing on the same ip address with different account's/cd's etc on WoW? If somebody can dig up the answer for me or knows it flat out that would be nice of you.

If it's anything like other MMOs, you'll have no problem.

This is Blizzard's first MMO, but I would expect it to be similar to (at least in implementation) to its predecessors.

(This is mere speculation)

Blizz is likely to be bot-paranoid (or they should be). I would expect a similar approach like D2, with a maximum of 4 connections per IP address.

By 4 connections, you mean like 4 people on the same server at max?

No, we mean 4 simontaneous UDP connections to the server.

Zagggon what they mean is that you will be able to have atleast 4 people playing with diff cd's on the same ip address, or am i mistaken?

Basically, a cap of 4 connections per IP address, irregardless of how many valid CDKeys/etc...

That's my guess, as that's what they did with Diablo 2.
