Ok, so the way I have my computer set up right now, is I am running Ubuntu Linux.

Now, I can run SRO under Wine in Linux, and it works perfectly fine.
I also run Windows Vista in a virtual machine, which i can also run SRO.

SO here's my question...
Would it be illegal to run two versions of SRO, not multiclienting, in Linux and in a virtual machine version of Windows Vista?

I don't personally see how that is any different then running it on two separate computers.

illegal or not, same result, 1 user 2 accounts... For me, it stands in the same side. U gain advantage and give ppl disadvantage (traffic)
We judge a crime by its final end result, but not how it is done
i.e
U kill a person with a gun
Action = shot with a gun
Result = person dead

U kill a lion with a gun
Action = shot with a gun
Result = lion dead

As u see, all the judge care is the result.
Result > Action

Your example fails.

Of course the judge looks at the action.
That's how he determines whether it is first, second, or third degree murder.
Judges don't just go, "lol murderer die nao."

Let's use what you said:
U kill a person with a gun
Action = shot with a gun
Result = person dead

Kill a person with a gun.

Was it premeditated?
Maybe someone was breaking into your house, took a gun out on you, shot at you, and you shot back and killed him.

Are you going to face the same charges as someone who sat there for weeks and planned out every intricate detail in order to complete the act of killing someone?
No.

Now my reasoning.

All I'm going to do is pfarm a new char with my old char.
See, I could do it the illegal way and google up some multiclient.
But I am legit so I'd rather do it this way, and I wanted to see what all your thoughts on it are.

Now, back on topic.

It is like using 2 computers, go for it.

Oh, well, your right. It's not just the result, but both action and result...

On topic: even if u didnt do the illegal things but u caused the same result to the community; even if u have 40 computers but u dont play, take place in the server just for stalling, ppl wont be happy either and i dont give a shit about what u do, legal or not.
In this world, there are ppl that try to find a hole in the law, the rule to bypass his bad actions.
This kind of thought should be prohibit in the society :S

no 3rd party software = fine

This is fine. There was a whole topic about this using Windows OS and running 2 sro using a virtual machine. The verdict on that topic was that it was fine. Same verdict here.

BTW: Too lazy to search for that topic

So if i had 5 computers, im not allowed to play all 5 at once?

Bribing the judge is fine, in the american justice system.

The difference between this and shooting lions or people, nuclearsilo, is that there's no law or regulation against it. But i'm sure that's obvious now, as everyone's jumped in the for easy kill.

In this case, u gain advantage, but u didnt give other advantage, coz ppl play the game like normal

Sharp324 wrote:So if i had 5 computers, im not allowed to play all 5 at once?

U can do what u want. But if u have 5 pc and u play, i wont bother to complain, but if u use it just to make 5 stalls and take server slots, i'd hate u more than a multiclient user who run only 2 clients.

if you have the money and buy 5-100 computer to run sro...i don't even care. Do as u wish. and i don't even care if you used it to stall, powerleveling, etc. why would u even bother to ask anyway? It's not like people here gonna give u sosun just for asking this question anyway. dud!

Silk is apart of the game having more than one computer is not

But anyway if you have more than one comp then IDC cause i do and i stall with my pc and grind on my laptop. But with the virtual machine if you can do it then i dont see why it would be "unlegit" since it is like having 2 comps

Yes, it's legal. But do u feel happy when other player takes slot in the server but not playing, using multiclient or not?

i dun think they would feel much of nething

NuclearSilo wrote:Yes, it's legal. But do u feel happy when other player takes slot in the server but not playing, using multiclient or not?

omfg get over it, I have a network of computers(About 9) set up in my house all stalling on sro.

So it return the same result as someone who uses multi 9 clients, right?

No its not illegal. Running sro on a virtual machine is the same as running it in another pc.

what happen to the real old time cool legits, the one that dont complain about every little thing. Serioiusly who cares? life is unfair stop crying. I havnt spent a single $ on this game and i got almost as far as people with silk and bot.

To be Completley Honest i see no proplem with this.
Why?
Becuase SRO "NEEDS!!!" Wine to be ran on linux. its technicaly not 3rd party software since it is apart of Most modern linux systems.

Just like using 2 computers imo, s'all good.
