Limit one client per IP at any given time
One person being able to camp say, 8 bosses at the same time using 8 different accounts makes things unbalanced and unfair.
When lineage was live in order to do this you'd have to have 8 paid accounts and 8 different computers making it much less common. (If happening at all)
I'm down for 8 different people checking the different bosses but one person being able to monopolize the boss spawns isn't right. I'm just picking 8 as an example, it could be more or less in certain instances.
Accounts no longer have to be paid and computers are powerful enough to run multiple clients at once which allows people to exploit this and ruin the very spirit of boss hunting for the majority of players.
Same goes for buffs. You can have one person make multiple accounts just for buffing their own toon, negating the need for real people around you each playing a different and useful class and magic line.
I think lineage is made less fun and exciting by allowing this to happen.
Again I just picked 8 out if the blue. Perhaps I should have just used the phrase "multiple bosses at once with multiple different accounts".
What do you guys think?

Re: Limit one client per IP at any given time
There is a limit of 5 per IP. We have players that share IPs, play in cafes, ect. It would unfairly penalize them.

Re: Limit one client per IP at any given time
Just ask them to stop in your bp discord? Bapho and all the bosses you were complaining about on global are literally being camped by your Sexbomb and Dog's alts who are your bp mates ......
FYI, I used to have 4-5 separate accounts active to do Heine rub spots which equates to 4-5 diff runners, then 2 mana drain mages in house + couple of our mains on live that I paid. So idk what you crying about, lol

Re: Limit one client per IP at any given time
You realize that Chains does the multi buffer... check warp 7 when Omega is on... he keeps a char facing a cell with a macro when you walk into it, it would auto buff you and I hear chains did that as well... Dog/Reh and SexBomb both camp like 7 bosses each always... You're gunna make your BP quit first lol

Re: Limit one client per IP at any given time
My post wasn't targeted towards any one BP. It was for the sake of the whole community and server and for it's longevity.
I think bringing the limit from 5 down to 1 or 2 would be a good, fair idea.
And as far as cafes and sharing goes, I meant at any one given point in time. Meaning a single person regardless of where he was playing from, whether it be a cafe or a friend's house, couldn't have control of more than 1 or 2 toons at a time.

Re: Limit one client per IP at any given time
There's literally one bp who does this lol.
easy, remove all the bele scroll tele from Melissa etc
make it where lvl 60 and below do not give pk count/ or just remove hell. Make it where dead bodies dc in 60 seconds instead of 5 min. Done, go enjoy killing your own BP's campers lol

Re: Limit one client per IP at any given time
DG, beleth and all these "camped" bosses weren't even camped to begin with on live cause you couldn't, not because you couldn't pay for more accounts or limited on pc. Simply because you need castle to gain access to them vs here you have scrolls from Melissa....

Re: Limit one client per IP at any given time
I'm going to poke this one a lil bit. Your suggestion is for us to only be able to run 1-2 clients per IP... Ok, so I personally have 4 seperate internet connections that are mine completely plus access to another 3 completely different internet connections. Also have enough computers to use each of these different connections... So what exactly would this accomplish. You are suggesting since I have access to more Ip's That I should be able to spam more accounts as buffers and such than someone who is playing from a cafe or there own home. I think you are off a lil bit. If someone wants a buff account then they should go for it. How often do you see someone go around and buff people outside of there circle. This allows everyone the ability to be on a somewhat level playing field. But if you feel like these buffs are an afront you can always not do it yourself and not let your fellow pledge mates involve you in it. And if you still feel strongly about it after that just spam cancle on anyone you catch that is buffed...

Re: Limit one client per IP at any given time
Good points and suggestions. I guess leaving it where it is is best. I didn't know there was a limit of 5 I thought it was unlimited initially. Happy hunting everyone.
