Allowed to play starport on 2 separate comps
I currently play starport on my laptop, my brother wants to play the game as well, he is in the same household, is he allowed to play it from his computer?
its not multi-accounting in anyways though? is it?
i don't want him to download starport in case I'm not allowed to do so
I remember "back in the day" him and i both played, from 2 separate comps and we didn't get banned or anything
so I'm wondering now if the rules have changed or anything,
help would be appreciated
a-c-e

Re: Allowed to play starport on 2 seperate comps
You can play on the same computer as long as it's two different people.
The rule is one character per person on a galaxy.
The banning system looks at things like keyboard strokes, mouse movements, and play style, to generate a "fingerprint" that is unique to that player. If the same fingerprint is observed in two characters, the ban system is alerted.

Re: Allowed to play starport on 2 seperate comps
of course, why not?
does the rule say anything about computers or houses?
No, the rule says don't be one human using more than one character in the same galaxy.

Re: Allowed to play starport on 2 seperate comps
No, key strokes would be different. For example, very few people can type at 80 WPM. Something I do with ease.

Re: Allowed to play starport on 2 separate comps
SOOOOO off topic...
Re: Allowed to play starport on 2 separate comps
To be honest I don't recall the original topic. When I saw I had posted in the Launchpad I didn't even remember what it was about. lolArdRhys4 wrote:SOOOOO off topic...
Re: Allowed to play starport on 2 separate comps
Jejeje. this will get locked if we keep getiing off topic. Anyway, it was about having two people playing on same pc.
Re: Allowed to play starport on 2 separate comps
110 max. pwn all yall. and I attribute it almost entirely to starport, although I think I'm down to about 80-90 right now on my laptop, I haven't quite got used to the small differences in keyboards yet.ArdRhys4 wrote:Average. My best was 93. You my friend, have been pwned...
I have to say though toonces, this whole key recognition thing sounds very interesting I didn't realize that you had anything quite that complex.
Re: Allowed to play starport on 2 separate comps
Just verifying...So if i have to computers within the same household E>I Laptop in other room , Big Computer in here, my brother could play the SAME server?
I always thought that would get you banned.

Re: Allowed to play starport on 2 seperate comps
well i play in the same house as my step dad and he only plays re bangs and i get things saying i cant play some of the rebangs cause i already have a character there and i don't he probably does thoToonces wrote:of course, why not?

Re: Allowed to play starport on 2 seperate comps
In order to help curb multi-ing, 2 characters can't be created from the same computer on the same server. For two people to play on the same computer, I believe one of the characters has to be created from a different one.Chettoes121 wrote:well i play in the same house as my step dad and he only plays re bangs and i get things saying i cant play some of the rebangs cause i already have a character there and i don't he probably does thoToonces wrote:of course, why not?

onto another subject, i remember i slept over my cousin's house and we played starport, there were 2 computer's in the house so he thought maybe we could verse each other and stuff, i said no because i thought it would of counted as "multi'ing" i remember the rule was 1 character per galaxy or something so we both played on a different galaxy. i just want to know if we versed each other on the same galaxy would he have been banned
NOTE: my cousin plays starport on both computers, like sometimes he might play on his computer in his room and sometimes he plays the one in the lounge room so he can watch tv at the same time.
