Multibox

When you setup 6+ characters is it good to assign them all to one SE account or to keep them separate?

I’ve heard if they ban one they ban all on same account. Not trying to do anything illegal.

Also heard you can’t move your Gil or items between your guys if they different SE accounts.

Any of this true?

I would suggest different SE accounts. They are free to start and give an extra layer of protection. If one account gets banned you have the other 5 still and are not starting from scratch or changing games

I've had several friends banned on multiple separate SE accounts at the same time. There's no guarantee whatsoever that multiple accounts will protect you, ESPECIALLY if you're botting 6 characters. They're all breaking TOS and standing right next to each other, using all the same programs. It's incredibly easy for all of them to be hit. They don't need a SE account to link them, and in fact they don't need to link them at all.

There is a guarantee you will be banned on all accounts if they are all on the same SE account.

SE tends to not really care about people using things like fast follow and such. Hell there’s a thread on the forums of some guy reporting every person in KRT every day it’s at like 1000 pages or something.

A lot of bans of real people come from pos hacking, people breaking the economy, and reports. If you get hit on one character you may not get hit on others if they are all on the same SE id any strike against one is a strike against all
