Is there any way that Royals could be made possible to open a 2nd (or 3rd, 4th, etc.) client without the use of programs like Sandboxie? The free version of Sandboxie allows only one sandbox to be open at a time, which isn't always enough. I have been on servers that allow multiclienting without any 3rd party programs so I believe it's possible to do. Is muticlienting a necessity? No, but it's very common, and it can't hurt to make it easier and cheaper. Not everybody has a spare laptop laying around that they can use. I don't know how difficult it would be to do this, but it would be a nice thing to have.
I think it's possible, since the GM client offers this feature. Someone from staff has to confirm this, though.
The only way to open multiple clients natively under the same user would be with client hacks. And that would fall under modifying the client and so is not allowed.
I think I might have worded the question incorrectly. I wasn't asking how to do it myself, I was asking if you guys could make changes to the vanilla client so that it's possible to do.
May I ask why it's restricted to GMs only? I don't see the harm in making it easier to multiclient for everyone.
There are arguments against this, actually. There are ways to abuse having 3 or more clients opened simultaneously, you could for example leech several characters of your own, or cheat in e.g. events that are luck-based. Nonetheless, it's an idea worth considering.
And unlimited text messages. We're wandering off-topic, though... Wasn't this about a multi-clienting feature?
We don't want to release the multi-client feature to the public because SOME people would start stacking accounts and leeching them. We don't want everyone on the server to have an abundance of accounts.
I believe the luck-based event arguement to be invalid, because multiclienting (upto 2 clients with e.g. Sandboxxie) is already possible, but also already prohibited in all events. Whether people use 2 clients with Sandboxxie or 3 clients without Sandboxxie makes no difference. If the client allows it, you could also try to make a compromise and allow multiclienting upto 2 clients at a time. This way, people can't open unlimited clients and thus stack accounts, but it would be fair to people who can't run Sandboxxie (e.g. because they have Windows 8 ). At the moment there is an inequality there.
You can only either have the ability to open 1 client or unlimited with the client edits. And yes the client has a lot more than just the multi-client hack and would get regular players banned. From what I have researched and tried it has so far been impossible to create a client with just the multi-client hack.
I've seen plenty of servers that have multi client built into the client. In any regard, sandboxie still works for any form of multi client. Leech and trading yourself is just about all the useful things you can do with a multi client. I don't care one way or another, but it's definitely possible to create a client that can open a number of additional clients at the same time.
Were they v0.62? And did they not also have unlimited Flash Jump in those clients? If no to both questions can you send me a PM please, thanks. But like I said I have found it impossible to create a client with only multi-client.
