Just plain confused

Who do you ask at broadsword if something I'm doing is legal? I mean there is someone right?
Been away many years don't understand bots multi-boxing and scripting. I know i cant do unattended macroing and only can play classic client or enhanced, but I can still open six accounts on one computer screen and see them all at same time. I'm not sure its allowed after reading the many posts about cheaters. I hunt single spawn powerful critters with 4 samps/archers and 2 bards. Play the provo and peace buffs and discord with the bards and target attack with the other 4. No scripts not sure if this is multi-boxing as i have 6 clients side by side. Who do i ask, because it seems for sure no one will agree on the boards.

    Multibox is controlling all characters with 1 keystroke and requires another program to run.

    You're doing multiclient which is fine as long as you can see all your screens and answer if a gm does come.

    you cannot use the client YOU are using. that clear enough?

    You can only use classic client, the new classic client and enhanced client

    NOT the one you have been seen using (if its you)

    You can only use auto follow in the 2D client NOT what you are using
    assuming the char I see in Legends, who matches your profile name is in fact the char you are using in game

    You cannot tow multiple chars and have them act as you. what YOU are doing it illegal

    That clear?

    The vampires you tow are automated, you are not controlling them individually. the client you are using is NOT legal

    your 6 clients act as one with one keystroke  you cannot control 4 sampires individually as you are not an octopus

    I identify as a sloth.  Maybe they are an octopus.  Where's KroDuK?    :D

    Leave this thread open for him so we have entertainment while shards are down.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    I'm actually interested in Mizzlyn's response.
    If he is playing that cleanly, and I know some players do, it just shows, people cannot keep jumping to conclusions.

    I'm sorry to confuse you but I probably shouldn't be posting under this screen name. My home shard is Balhae because I used to live in South Korea. I have toons also on Atlantic, Catskills, Great Lakes, Legends and Europa. I have 6 accounts because I'm the only one still playing and my rl friends passed on there accounts years ago. I keep using 180 day passes to allow the houses not to collapse. With the 6 accounts and they have uo assist I hunt balrons, treasure map with 3 or 4 at a time, Putrifiers back yrs ago, shadow wyrms, ancient dragon, and some of the critters that required keys. We used to all play Cats when the game was new, but we all went different directions after graduating. I was aware of scripting when i played such as 24/7 miners and fisherman. Bots seem to describe something different. Id simply prefer not to cheat but I use 6 clients when I attack with a toon it stays on the target automatically. I also know of a uo assist script/macro my friend created that last an insane amount of time that with one key the macro attacks with primary attacks and attack next. I don't use it because I didn't write it, but my understanding is its legal being it a program that is a 3rd party approved program. Sorry but I'm either playing on Balhae or Atlantic I'm not sure whats going on on legends. I don't pvp or do events I'm not into decorations or EM drops I just like killing critters and an occasional try at a barracoon with a necro mage spamming wither.I rarely see other people playing doing what I do. I could not post the last 2 months until I read I needed mozzilla/firefox because I would be logged out immediately.

    Illegal  you must be in control of the client, if 5 are running automatically auto targeting as I have witnessed you are using an illegal client to do this

    I would strongly advise you to not do it and learn to play the game legally I client at a time

    You chars all attack as one not one at a time

    I was going to comment the same thing, but decided not too. 

    Both completely reading something and comprehending what an individual read is way to uncommon now days. People get so hung up on certain details and just completely gloss over the rest.

    Actually its my fault I have access to many of my friends old accounts and log ins. I tried everyone to get a forum name that would stay logged in, The one i was using was this one when I changed to firefox and it says legends is my main shard. I had 2 friends that moved to legends from catskills and this apparently is one of there forum ids. The only reason I started checking the forum boards is because recently when logged in and shopping I have DCed a lot for no apparent reason. It rarely ever happens when using all 6 accts or fighting in general just house organizing items or shopping. I never read anything about why it happens, but I read all the cheating discussions and wha-la my confusion on terminology. Sorry for any confusion

    You’re right to be confused. Historically Broadsword has made some distinction between multi-boxing and players who simply have multiple clients running.

    Here’s what UO.com says:

    https://uo.com/support/

    Multiboxing Update
    Starting with the Endless Journey update, we have begun to action accounts for multiboxing. Players are restricted from logging and controlling multiple characters at the same time with the assistance of software or third-party programs. Controlling multiple characters at the same time to attack NPCs or other players, or perform any other actions in a synchronized manner is considered multiboxing and will result in the associated accounts being suspended or terminated. Players who have multiple users in the same household playing from multiple machines, or are manually controlling each of their accounts, are not considered to be multiboxing.
    My take on this is that even the use of UOAssist, an approved program, to synchronize multiple clients would count as a violation.

    In practicality, it doesn’t matter too much. I suppose someone might report you, but you’d probably get off the hook if you respond to a GM — if a GM bothers to message you at all.

    Fair enough and ty for the explanation of Multiboxing

    It doesn't really matter. The developers attempts to curb rampant botting were a miserable failure and they've largely lost control of their own game.
