2 persons playing from same IP-announcement?

"Hello!
Is there place to announce if two different players are playing from same IP address? I read terms and it does not allow two accounts in same server, but there is "specific exceptions" part?
Is the only way wait for ban and then send email to unban because there is 2 different persons playing the game?
Or is the only way to forbid other player not to play the game? Ikariam-online game had forum thread where to announce the players who are playing from same ip and are not multi-accounting."

I am sure our situation is going to be OK (he contacted support), but this is annoying, especially now Havaii event going on.
Agreed. I'd be a bit hesitant to send that sort of personal information.
One thing that could work in the future is preemptively telling someone (support maybe?) that there are multiple people playing on their own farms from the one IP address, but I don't know how well that would work.
I told it maybe 5 times to people now? I never had a complaint about it not working or them not getting a reply or something, so it seems to be the best thing to do
they are not allowed to ask a copy of your id card
in the Netherlands they advice to never do it, read this site its in dutch but probably you can translate it with translation sites

in the part "Overtreding privacywetgeving" they say that companies who ask your id you can report that companies
That would be farm sitting Lucy and that is indeed not allowed.
identity card like pasport
you dont have passport??
thats a id card
That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard..... fix the spammer porn guy first... Good Lord
No I don't have a passport and no it isn't an ID card
Also, I have a co-op mate who's son joined and all she did was send a message letting them know he was going to be playing also, no personal information needed.
But yeah, don't really see it as being a big deal on this game if you have multi accounts, not like you can send yourself any gifts like on some other social games. And I don't see a problem with the farm sitting, but those are the rules
I totally completely agree with ElizabethK and Sue!
Same sort of situation here. My friend and I both play the game on different IPs. But he lives at the other side of the country, so if I visit, it will usually be for a week or 2. Then we will be playing on the same IP for that time because I log in on his connection. I think it would indeed be going too far if we both get banned for this reason. And I think it even goes too far if I have to let support know for those few times I visit him...
I happen to live in the same house as my coop leader. I pay my rent here and it is my permanent home. I prefer not to run over to the neighbor's house, whom I have never met, to ask if I can play my game at their house so that I can use up the thousands of gold that I spend my hard-earned money to purchase!!!!
In addition, I introduced my gold-buying daughter to the game, which she loves just as much as I do, and because at best she has sporadic internet at her house, she comes to my place to play - several kilometers away, I might add, just so that she can play the game.
Seriously! I would like to know the purpose of/background behind initiating such a rule.....before I decide whether or not I'll continue playing.
Typing that didn't make me feel one bit better!!!!!!!!!!!
But even then since accounts can't trade between each other, then the only advantage that you might possibly get is that you could get the beginner's gold bonus multiple times, and the only way that would help you is if all your accounts donated their gold to the co-op. And even then that isn't much of an advantage since you don't get much gold to start with, and you would have to do much more work to sustain multiple accounts, so it's probably easier to actually just play with other people. But if you want to do 5x the work or whatever, then why not.
I am dedicated to my own account. Personally it makes no difference to me if other people have 1 account or 10 accounts as it does absolutely nothing to interfere with how and when I play my own game. I'd likely envy the fact that they have so much free time to play so many games, but aside from that, it has absolutely no impact on me and my game.
To possibly penalize honest-playing people who have no choice but to use the same IP address, is simply 'wrong'.
Ok now back to general. Plus I am not sure how having people report to support makes any difference. I reported my son and I being on the same IP address, but what is stopping less honest people from saying their multiple accounts are a family member playing it. How would BF know the difference? So if someone does have multiple accounts they can simply notify support that they have multiple family members playing and BF still hasn't found them out.
I'm sorry, but it just seems this banning ppl for sharing an IP address really doesn't solve anything, except for inconvenience real families. I just don't see any real solution.
I have to admit that I am cracking my head to try and find a reason why you would have an advantage when you have several accounts on the same server, but I have no clue. Apparently there is something that could bring an advantage. Or it is just a useless rule. The servers are not interconnected, which would take that mysterious advantage away, which is why it is allowed, I guess. Other than that, beat me, I dunno. I disagree with this too.
About the farm sitting I could understand, as people could misuse your account if they have the password details and they want to avoid that. They would need to solve a lot of 'hacked account' issues if they would allow farm sitting :P
The only thing I can think of is if you use the other accounts as a gold farm, to get lots of newbie bonuses. But that doesn't help YOU, since all it could do is benefit a co-op you were in with your multiple accounts. But like I said, that's the only reason I can think of for not having multis, and it's not a very strong reason at all since you don't even get that much gold to start with.
