It's fun what some people consider "basic" functionalities of an MMO...

All it takes is one google search. nuff said.

While i dual and multi boxed a few MMOs for the heck of it, i dont think that swtor is the game for it.
Have a second account in the background for crafting ? Yeah, i can see that. Not actual dualboxing though. Though thats just me.

There is no point in doing this. Most people that do this is only so they can have a medic follow with with heal's in open world PvP and all that shows is how bad a player they are.


Why they don't allow it is basic. People would Bot accounts to sell gold and accounts them self's.

I am pretty sure "boxing" is against the terms of agreement of most mmos.

I myself have reported in previous mmo, groups of 4 characters moving together in perfect synchrony, giving them insane advantages, especially in pvp, and spoke to the GM about it, and always been told that, they did not allow it.

I also once tried to run both my friend's account and my own over my pc, but the game would not start and moan that there was already an instance of it open (wow), so if you have to "hack" it to make it work, that breaks the TOA.

Nothing illegal about mulitboxing. Its not something they'd even be allowed to deny. No need to hack anything to run multiple copies, runas.exe is your friend

Nobody said illegal, but the company can write whatever they want in the Terms of Agreement.

Which means that although is not illegal, it is also not allowed and can get you banned fro the game, many things goes against terms of conditions like Gold selling, and that is not an illegal action.

Also, if the game itself does not allow you to run 2 instances, so you have to resolve to virtual machine or whatever other trick, to run 2 copies, that I think goes pretty close to one of the clause written on the TOA, but I am no lawyer so do not quote me on that

When you signed up and agreed to their rules, they "assume" that you won't bot or hack. So to say restricting boxing was swtor's way of preventing bots or hacks... That's just ignorance. also, why restrict something that hackers can easily bypass anyways?

This seems by design as you can't run the launcher twice. The launcher actually checks for a running copy of the game and exits when it finds it. Many games simply don't do this sort of check but few are designed with this use in mind.

One PC running two copies of the game is common enough practice but still will only have a small minority of players who will doing it. If it's something that minority wants they will need to get this message seen. Best way may be to submit customer support tickets on occasion and wait it out.

Currently the best solution to those wanting to run two accounts at one desk is to have two computers. If that's not an option for the player in question then it's a matter of waiting to see if this will be added sometime.

Because (For example) as opposed to have 5000 legit accounts botting, you will have maybe only 2000, as the rest will be banned by the mods.

It's a bit like saying, why having police? Criminals will shoot you anyways.
