Somebody told me that PWI does not allow 1 person to have 2 seperate accounts on 2 separate computers. Is that true?

    No, You can have 2 accounts as long as they aren't logged on at the same time on the same computer, 1 account per computer. so you're fine.

    i dont see what the problem is..kinda lame rule to be honest.I think if your comp can take it.>DO IT.

    Just to be clear, in order to actually "DO IT" you would have to use a third party program to initiate it to even be able to get it done. Using another program in any way within the programming of PW is against their TOS. Even more... its illegal since they own all the rights, and such. Yeah.... thats a good reason to "NOT DO IT"

    Like BratFury said when you downloaded and installed the game you agreed not to modify the content of the files in any way along with other things that i think you should have a look.

    Not quite but close, It the modifing of the files of PWI that is against the TOS. Otherewise they would have to even ban ppl for using things such as Fraps even vent and that could be considered under how you described it.

    To put it simple as it can be 1 PWI client per pc.
    working it Q_Q

    This pretty much states that modifying anything for any reason at any time is cause for termination. PERIOD! I took this directly off the TOS. That would include but is not limited to ANY MODIFICATION WHATSOEVER!!

    We can safely say they do allow video recording devices.

    At this point and time there is a lot they apparently are allowing, doesn't mean they can't follow thru with their terms of service when they see fit.

    So would running PWI clients in virtualised environments on the same PC be allowed? Cause it doesnt require modifying any PWI files or such.

    No, its is not allowed. You can not use virtual machine or anything else to run 2 clients on the same computer. This question has been asked numerous times on here and the GM response is always the same.
    NO IT IS NOT ALLOWED!

    Well they held a video contest that required the use of some sort of recording software in order to even participate. I don't think they'll be banning for fraps ever. :p

    The idea is to not let you use anything that can possibly change the gameplay.

    This is why BratFury is quoting the ToS.

    Spiffy! This means I can set one up to be a cat shop while I actually play on the other! Makes money making much easier.

    As has been already stated, you can run two or more accounts ONLY if they are on separate computers. You cannot run two accounts by any means on the same computer.
