Hi I was wondering if I can use more than one character at same time by using more pc and more accounts.
Brothers asked me to help with guild because they don’t play most time like me…
Let me know if is possible or is a violation to login more. I have more pc very near so i can manage 2 characters for example to trade items or chat in the guild channel.
I’ll wait for answer.

You can, but as long as you’re not breaking any of the other rules while doing it. In actuality though there is no way Anet can be sure that it’s all of you playing, or just brothers and sisters, or a party of geeks playing together, or an entire town sharing the same IP address, or an office complex of workers having time off during lunch break.

Of course if they started banning cause of too many simultaneous logins per IP address, they’d have issues of banning real people playing legitimately. Then again they did ban for multiboxing, according to this guy: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Three-of-five-accounts-have-been-blocked

There are several couples of families playing together. There have been informations according this on this forums. So it is no problem at all.

If EVERY game account is controlled by ONE player, everything is okay.

PS I did it on GW1 too. One account for me and 2 additional accounts for my kids. We liked playing together from different rooms and in the same area. It was great fun!

Yes, this is acceptable as long as you are actively playing the account and not using any sort of “bot” or automated mode of play.

Thanks so much for the answers, I’m just asking to play with more characters if I need it..
not to violate any rule to talk with guild members with my brother account just because he is the guild leader.

Hang on….The OP said Character, not account. Your account can only be logged in once on 1 PC at a time. Now if you have more than one account then yes, you can do this, but no you cannot login multiple characters from the same account.

Well, he said “Hi I was wondering if I can use more than one character at same time by using more pc and more accounts.”

I took the “and more accounts” to mean that he wanted to access multiple accounts. It’s not possible to access a single account more than once, so playing two characters on the same account at the same time is not possible.
