Assuming you were using two different computers on two different IPs, operating systems and browsers, would the rate of freeze still be as high if you were using the same PC with different browsers?

And if anyone does this with luck, what are your tricks to appearing legit?

    I used to play with a friend and we took turns letting the other win, playing as fast as possible. Apparently that's not allowed but we did it for months and nothing ever happened...

    And that's the biggest problem. KQ is boring as hell. Not worth it. x.x

    Playing Keyquest with yourself isn't very risky if you have different ip. TNT dont really monitor this as much

    I farmed keyquest with a friend before. It was quite worth it during that month where every win gave double the keys. I think the fastest map is Spring 2 or something. It looks kind of like a dog bone.

    I'm not sure how the game works, but probably no chance of a keyquest autoplayer then huh?

    Speaking as a programmer-in-training, that game seems too complex for a program to compete with human intelligence.

    i have a laptop and a desktop and sometimes i play against myself. i let each other win and not just hog all gold on one account so it's more "real"
    it's impossible for TNT to know if you're playing against a sibling or friend so it'd be silly for them to freeze either account. but then again, i dont do this everyday only like once or twice a month cuz KQ is soooo boring. i fall asleep after like 10 games and give up.

    i think it's fine even with same IP cuz of family and such.

    TNT has frozen me for dumber things than this. I wouldn't try it, sounds too risky to me.

    i have tried this on two computer in my house but the game always ended for some reason before i could "win". afterwards i found out how easy it is to get frozen for this so i never tried it again. beware!

    It's not terribly risky, but would it be profitable? ABing yields a lot more profit for a lot less work, and most of the times (if sensible) much less risky.

    i think it;'s safe,,.
    but before you do this. make sure your e-mail address of two accounts should be different. Because that might be more "real" for two different players :)

    i can only see the real risk being if you had the same IP address for both computers but i personally wouldn't want to risk getting frozen

    Computers on the same network will have the same IP address, so family members or friends in a house could be playing legit against each other. I think the way to go would be to not hog the gold keys on one account. Going back and forth with alternate wins seems a bit odd too. Mix it up a bit. I've tried to play KQ, but honestly, I never got anything that made it worth playing. A couple of books, neggs, backgrounds.. What an immense waste of time for such retarded prizes. Unless I'm doing something wrong and there's some way I could be getting better stuff out of it :p

    I'd be using a proxy on one computer so I wouldn't be using the same IP, haha.

    I'm trying to decide if I should do this or not, just because it seems boring. But I can't AB right now because Abrosia doesn't currently have VPN support. Sigh.

    i did that quite a number of times when KQ is just out. stop doing it now though, cos it is irritating when you spent so much effort playing alone and it still DCs you

    I used to play keyquest with my two cousins in the same house on different computers. We never got frozen or anything, but now that I know about ABing there's no point.
