How many Account Logins before ban?
Hey guys, so I've heard that you can get banned for logging in too much.
What are the conditions for this?
Is it based on number characters/ accounts?
And is it within a certain amount of time?
I guess what I'd like to know is what's the maximum of characters/ accounts can I log in that will not get me IP banned?
And it is by IP if they ban right?
Sorry for my ignorance, but I'd like to find out for future Hot Days.

[quote=TehResisting]@MesosNeedMe Yep, pretty much. Only thing is the hassle and you may even have to change multiple times if it ends up failing or what ever.[/quote]
I've done that a while ago to watch movies restricted to certain countries LOL
I forgot how haha, it made me feel smart though.

[quote=TehResisting]@MesosNeedMe It's ~20 per [b]hour[/b] but I suggest every hour and a half or even two incase you time it wrong and get yourself IP Banned. It's not hard to change but gets rather annoying.
15 is very safe, the earliest IP bans I've ever heard about was 17 accounts (and I browse sp, bm and a lot of things all the time and don't do much on MS itself).[/quote]
So I can change my IP to play if I happen to ban myself?
[quote=MesosNeedMe]I guess that makes sense, so would you say 10-15 accounts is safe? And again, is it within a span of an hour, or day? Or some other timespan?[/quote]
I don't claim to know, sorry. People on [that one super legit forum] would know though.
When I said I logged in 20 times, I meant on one account. My bad.

[quote=Darkwizzie]Well makes sense, if it is well known the number of accounts, the rule loses part of its effectiveness. If it's 20 we'll all go 19.[/quote]

It's 20 accounts.
[quote=MesosNeedMe]Okay, thanks. Do you know why the number varies? So would you say that 15 account logins would be safe? And is it within an hour's time? Or during the whole day?
Damn, that would suck if I accidentally go over the max account...[/quote]

[quote=TehResisting]Yes it is by account, and it's around 20, pretty much always varying. Some people can go up to 27+ and not be banned while others have gone just 17 and have gotten the ban.
So many accounts to abuse events :<
Edit: It's just by IP so if you have two computers in the same IP (region) it will add together.[/quote]

@MesosNeedMe: Not sure, I don't think it has anything to do with specs, but your IP address.

[quote=IliekAranDx]Around 20, it's by account.
I logged in 10 accounts just fine yesterday.[/quote]
Does 20 accounts apply to everyone? Or would computer specs make the number of accounts different?
I've logged in over 20 times before, and this was like a month ago. No bans. o_o

Thanks for verifying a minimum amount (plus confirming it's by account).
Around 20, it's by account.

[quote=calebheads]From what I've heard around 20.[/quote]
Is that account or character? -_-"
Everyone's throwing numbers and not giving me the other half of the information S:
[quote=calebheads]From what I've heard around 20.[/quote]
I've heard the figure 20 too but is it by account or character?
From what I've heard around 20.
[quote=Tertle]Should be somewhat 40?[/quote]
Is it by account of characters?
Should be somewhat 40?
[quote=JazzyKitteh]3 accounts now after this update.[/quote]
What...? That is insane. Stupid more than insane. Three accounts is nothing. Could someone verify?
[quote=JazzyKitteh]3 accounts now after this update.[/quote]
What update?
Isn't that only when you entered your pic wrong 5 times?
