Forum Account.

[DarkDraloch]

Hi Community. Is it possible/legal to have more than 1 forum account? Reason i ask is that i have 3 lifetime accounts ingame , and i wondered if i could have a forum account attached for each account.
Thx. in advance.

While I am sure you can have more than one forum account, I believe the current policy is that you are only allowed to post on one of them.

That is correct, usage of multiple forum accounts can be grounds from a ban from the forums, and, if severe enough, the game.

Yet you can use multiple accounts in game to 'cheat' exploit and abuse, what a very peculiar world we live in

Uh...no, you cannot. Where you got the idea that it was allowed to do such things, multiple account or not, is really odd...

Maybe its because i see plenty of it, i naturally assume nobody does anything to stop multi boxing.

6 boxers rep farming, seen it, wasnt happy it was in my area at the time.
/follow questing
1v1 fights with your own chars on the moors to gain rank
being killed by macro using multi boxers, being ganked by 1 player, not fun.

Clearly everyone opinions are different on such things, and generally so long as they dont mess with my gameplay i dont care, but all of the above could be considered 1 or more of the terms i used earlier from one perspective or another.

Now, ive heard in more than one channel that these practices are not illegal, but are 'frowned upon' which is the same as 'do what you want we cant stop you' as far as i can tell, if that view is not correct let me know, because i'll quite happily report multi-boxers who cross my path if its not allowed at all.

If of course it is allowed, then my previous conclusion stands on its own merit, its a very peculiar world we live in

NB: I did look, but couldnt find any official stance on this issue, but since theres a number of not-deleted/not-locked threads in the forums explaining HOW to multi box i'm guessing the frowning goes on.

There's nothing wrong with multi-boxing as long as each character is attended and can answer tells. It's not cheating or exploiting, and it doesn't violate any part of the EULA.

Even the rank farming is insignificant now that you can just buy Creep skills from the Store.

of note - ban are not just the forums anymore.

it was explained to me that you are banned from ALL the community sites that have a login except for myaccount.

You can have a forum account for each Lotro account. You are welcome to use all three to enter the lotteries. You will need to pick one to post with. Many of my friends including me have more than one Lotro account. I have two lifetimes. Sometimes I dual box.

Thx. Yula. That was the answer i was looking for - namely to enter the lottery with my other 2 accounts.

You do not have to use your main Game Account to post either.

If you accidentally post with the second account after signing up for the lotteries, I am not sure what to do officially. I try to sign up for the lotteries with my posting account last.

Turbine never done anything to me. I think I have made 7 posts from Yula0001. I never notice that I forgot to switch until after I hit post.

A number of people have a dummy account for posting. That way they not sending their user id or password over the net to use the web services.

[Celestrata]

As others have pointed out, you can have multiple LOTRO accounts, we simply ask that you only post from a single account. So, sure, you can enter all of your other characters into lotteries, just designate one of your accounts as your posting account and don't use the others.
