Can I play online in 2 pcs simultaneuosly with same key?

from Demigod Forums

Dear Demigod team and /or forum members:
I am eager to buy the game, but it happens Ive got 2 pcs in my house (my little brother´s and mine) , I just wanted to know if we will be able to play online at the same time , with just one of the games (cd key , or license,or whatever it is called) ; or do I have to buy 2 in order for us to be able to play together online at the same time? (we live in an apartment building , we share same external ip I think , but we´ve got different internal / local ips)

 

Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards,

Eduro

No, you will need two keys on two accounts if you want to play online simultaneously. You can, however, play LAN with only the one.

kryo , thank you very much for your information.

Another question came to my mind the minute I finished the post.

See I own 2 Warcraft 3 CD Keys to play on bnet. But due to blizzard ridicuosly policy of banning by IP, there has been 3 times that we could not play because someone non identified person in my building used a hack , cheat or I dont know what kind of crack , so as they banned by IP, the ban also affected me and my brother (legit players who happen to share the same external ip , with all the people of the building). Even by calling them to their HQ , they said they could not do nothing. Well that really pissed me off , since we are clean and legit players , and we dont like paying for the mistakes of others.


That said , whats the policy at stardock regarding bans, do you ban by IP also , or by cdkey or by user account?. I hope you can help me in this one too , or putting me in contact to someone who can help in this inquirie.

 

Thanks a lot again in advance,

Eduro

Ya Eduro, if they allowed 2+ accounts online per serial # with MP, then they would have no way of stopping pirates who steal your account.

eduro if their banning policy is the same as in Sins of A Solar Empire, then, first off, cheating is very hard to do...Hacks in a P2P game such as this would be quite irrelevant i think. Also, they are pretty lenient, they have only banned a couple users from Sins of A Solar Empire, literally only a couple, and it was discussed on the forums before it actually happened. 

They were banned by username, not IP, IIRC.

Yeah! We take it sitting up. You know, 'cause nobody likes a slouch. And it's bad for your back.
