IP login limitation.

I recently moved in with my girlfriend irl, and she plays as well. Normally no issue would arise, but we share the 3-account login limit. I'd like to ask if it could be doubled for our IP since we both like to play multiple accounts at the same time. If you need some sort of verification that I'm telling the truth, we're on Discord, maybe call verification or some such. I don't know if it's even possible, but we each tend to play two at a time minimum, and we're quite limited for now because of this.

Hi Nie.

We understand this is not a great situation for you and your gf, but unfortunately people exploit things and a simple IP restriction was imposed as a deterrent.

With our current implementation, this is a value that applies to all players the same. We do not currently have an immediate way to apply different limits to different players (IPs).

Unfortunately there is little reason to remove this restriction or re-implement it to be able to "whitelist" certain players to have higher limits. The cost-benefit analysis isn't in favor of it.

Since you guys are on separate computers, you could use a VPN on one (or both). Mullvad costs about the same as a 2009-era RS membership if you want to try that route
