<spanclass="title">1. Why do we have this rule? </span><br><br>
We have this rule to maintain a fair gaming experience. We don<6F>t want our games to become games where everyone feels they need to use multiple accounts at once just to compete! It<49>s much better to team up with your friends.

<spanclass="title">2. Can I use third-party software to log into an account for me while I am logging into another (so that I personally am only using one account)?</span><br><br>
No, you may not use third-party software to gain an unfair advantage - see macroing and use of bots or third-party software.

<spanclass="title">3. I have two accounts. Can my friend play one so I can trade between the characters? </span><br><br>
No, this goes against this rule. You are not allowed to trade between two characters owned by one player. You would also be in breach of the Account Sharing/Trading rule.

<spanclass="title">5. Is it all right if I trade items in-game with someone I share a house with? </span><br><br>
Yes, this is not going against the Rules of Conduct, providing you are both playing from two separate accounts created by each of you.
