    Yes, having multiple accounts is allowed as long they are only yours and not shared btw other people. And the only thing that can get complicated is if you vote more than once every 24 hours.

    having 2 or more accounts doesnt cause problems, since you are proably voting from the same spot everyday. It's 'complicated' if you are voting on another royaler's house regularly.

    That sums things up pretty well! =) As far as the database is concerned, we are a bunch of IP and MAC adresses, account names and character names. Translating this information into "who owns which account" involves a lot of cross-referencing different database queries and comparing it with information given by the players.

    On an unrelated note, I've updated the main post to reflect the recent voting changes - ie that we're no longer using UPS and we now get 8k NX per day from voting on Gtop100. @SAKI - no hurry, but if and when you have time, some new cartoons which reflect this change would be very welcome <3 @Digestive - do you want to update your thread on how to vote, or would you prefer me to remove the link to it? Up to you!

    Will there be something done to the recurring voting notification in-game? After you vote and about an hour+ it still says you can vote for UPS. Then I guess if you relog/disconnect or manage to stay connected for longer, you will get a tip saying you can vote on both again.

    Yes we are currently looking into adjusting this to the recent change.

    Just a heads-up to everyone who has applied for and been accepted on the Voting Whitelist: I'm going to be soft-deleting ACCEPTED or REJECTED applications for privacy reasons. Although our current system is secure, I want to make sure it stays that way, even if XenForo make any changes to their privacy settings in future upgrades. Soft-deleting these threads removes them from public view rather than erases them entirely.

    If your application has been accepted/rejected, it would be helpful to us if you let us know that you've seen the decision - just "Thanks" (if you've been accepted) and "Seen" (if you haven't) on your thread will be fine =)

    Hi,

    So I've been using the same laptop for each time I had to vote but my locations had changed a couple of times for the past week. I did not know about how specific the voting requirements were, so I apologize for not being consistent with my voting locations if that is against the rules. The reason why my locations had changed was because I had been in two other locations other than my house: the hospital and my family friend's house. My father has been diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, also known as bile duct cancer, and I had stayed with him at the hospital to help take care of him. I believe I voted around once or twice while at the hospital during my free time. When my dad was transferred to a second clinic in order to get a second opinion on his condition, he told me to stay at my family friend's house which is where I also voted once. Now, my dad is finally discharged for the time being and I am back at my usual location. However, I voted around 4:30 PM EST today and everything went smoothly, except when I logged in, I did not receive 8k NX. I was wondering if it was just a one-time error, or I am now unable to receive NX. I understand that from now on, I should vote only in the same location, although I did not know prior to today, so I am hoping I can be forgiven for my ignorance.

    Thank you and best wishes.

    You likely just voted when the server was having an issue. If you post a thread in Character Issues, we can likely refund you the NX you are owed from your voting.

    Posted an app around 6 hours ago.
    How long does it usually take for applications to get reviewed?

    Sorry for being so persistent but it's been almost a day and I really don't want to lose out on any more days of NX because I've been letting my brother take the single household vote every day.

    Would have been better if you checked under support.

    Make a post here http://royals.ms/forum/forums/character-issues.55/

    follow this format.

    IGN: (Your character name)
    Problem: (Eg: Voted but didn't get NX)
    Details: (Explain what happened as clearly as possible, including information you think might be relevant. If you have lost items, please list them here, with screenshots if possible.)

    This varies depending on which members of staff are around and how much workload they have at the time. For the most part, it's just myself dealing with Whitelist applications, and it will typically take a few days for me to answer as I have a lot of other things to deal with too. If I'm away for a while, it may take longer, although there are two other members of staff who will help out in my absence or if there are a lot of applications to be dealt with. Both of these staff members currently have a lot on in real life so can't be around as much as they would like to be. Hope this helps!

    Can I get some clarification? Are we only allowed one vote reward per day, or are we only allowed to vote once per day? (lol idk if this makes sense)

    E.g. If my friend who also plays pretty often agrees to give me his vote, is this allowed? I would be voting myself, and he would be voting on his own account on his computer but filling out my account name, so I'd be receiving 16k NX from the two votes.

    Simle: you can vote on two accounts, just not witihin less than 24 hour. Else its an abuse.
    And no you are not allowed to do this^

    Trying to abuse the system will get you banned.

    You can ask your friend to buy the cash item and give it to you.
