Would this be considered multiclienting...?

Intentially crashing your client, to the point where when you try to log in it give you "Account already loged in" error, or something similar. Afterwards, you would log on to you're main account and continue playing.

(This would be used to put up a cat shop)

So it would be:

One Computer, One client, but 2 accounts, the PC only interacting with one.

This would give the advantage of a box made only for a catshop. It wouldnt let you, say, make a cleric and have it run around healing you.
Cant make up my mind D:
Maybe.. human guardian?

    I am sure what you are implying would be considered abusing a glitch which is a bannanble offence. If it all worked out how you want it to.

    Me pretty sure your character logs off automatically soon after that.
    o_o''
    anyone wana test?
    xD
    just get a friend to stare at you and see how long you last as a catshop lol.
    (actually it would probably be best if you guys checked if the catshop can actually sell anything while like that.)

    Sometimes when playing on PC and laptop at the same time, I simply shut the laptop lid out of laziness, without logging out of whatever character I'm on. It usually takes some time (more than 10 mins, less than 20) for my friendlist on PC to say that the other character has finally logged off... It's probably not long enough for a catshop to make it worthwhile...

    And I have the feeling that when you force log back into the game, it clears whatever other character might be logged in anyway.

    Ok press ctrl+alt+delete before you open up the program
    This should automatically bring up your taskmanager, anyways just open up your task manager.

    Then start up the Perfect World game.

    Afterwards go to task manager, under applications; right click the PWI Game and click on "Go To Progress"

    Afterwards right click what is highlighted in blue and click on "End Process"

    This complete ends the program from running which should fix your client.

    as for Hex, that would be multiclienting.

    ok 1st of all, the disconnect time is 20 minutes after not recieving any information from your local computer. Thats how long the crashed account would stay online, no more, no less.

    Secondly, to do a Catshop transaction, it actually checks for a response from your local computer. If you try to buy from a catshop who's in a current disconnect, you get "Service Unavailable" Error. So the diconnected character couldnt sell or buy anything.

    So, yes it would be an exploit, except it doesnt work.

    You're not allowed to have more then 1 client running at a time. I'm guessing you play BoI, there they allow 2 clients. Its not the same for every game. They've said many times, only 1 PWI client allowed to be running per computer.

    I've had cat shops up with initially say 100 items. When I get back to my computer I have found myself DC'd with 60 of those items left in my shop on the screen. I relog only to find I have 50 left instead and the money for the extra 10. I'd assume your shop will be completely functional until the server notices you actually aren't online. It doesn't last more than 20 mins max as I've experienced.

    Really every player should be allowed 1 offline catshop. Maybe make it a CS item with a level requirement of 50 or something.

    The word from the head GM:

    "This would still be abusing."


    So, yep, multi-clienting and therefore bannable.
