Q:

Is this legit?

My situation: My wife is tired of playing GW2 on her lower end laptop, and watching me play smoothly on my desktop. Looking at cheap solutions I found this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUsQXMkgd2o). In the video the software allows 2 GW2 players to use the same computer; all you need is an extra monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

This video is relatively dated so I’m wondering if this is still possible to do with this software and GW2?

Secondly will my i5 4670k and 770gtx be able to handle 2 copies running at the same time? I’m fairly certain it will have no problem…

Lastly and most importantly is this legal or will this get both of our accounts banned because of something silly in the TOS?

A:

You might have to decrease your graphics settings but your pc should be able to handle it.

As to whether it is legal or not, you might want to read this thread.

you will need an application isolation software (like that softxpand) or a virtual machine to run 2 on the same computer.

And your hardware will run 2 copies, but you will get a lot lower performance on both.

So this will not cause any problems to our accounts?
