Multiaccounting for artistic purposes?

I know there's a rule against having multiple accounts in game at the same time, but what if it's for, say, a screenshot or a video? Could that be okay? It's not a gameplay advantage.

  • The guidelines say you can't have multiple accounts that are played at the same time (i.e. logged in both at once). I believe this has been officially added to with a staff thread talking about housing-specific rules but since your situation isn't about that or any other advantages then you're fine.

    (disclaimer: I'm not staff, or responsible if you get into trouble)

    edit: OH. Whoops, you *are* talking about logging in at the same time.  That's what happens when I read stuff when I'm supposed to be sleeping. Sorry.

  • If you're worried about getting in trouble over your multiple accounts interacting on one screen, why don't you contact staff directly, explain your intentions, and see what they say?    Staff do read the forums, but this is certainly not the most efficient way to reach them.

  • artistic purposes

    What makes artistic purposes more acceptable than altruistic purposes?   Or any other kind of purposes?  

    Before you have two accounts logged in at the same time, I suggest you get an unambiguous, personal reply from staff (use the "Help" tab at the upper right corner to start a help case).  

    The rule is clear.  If you get any different response from staff that says "artistic purposes" override the rule, I'd like to see a copy of that email.

  • If your planning on making a screen shot or video why go through the trouble of making a new account and then logging in to both? Just find a willing friend to fill in that position.
