PSA: Don't ALT+F4 to change characters, you will be banned.

Be very careful when ALT+F4'ing in order to switch, if the character you closed is in the same area that the character you're going to log in into then this is considered multiboxing and will get you banned. ALT+F4'ing makes it so that when you log in into your other character the previous one will be seen sitting in the ground for 10-15 seconds until the 20 second log out thing is done after ALT+F4'ing.

Confirmed by a GM just now.

I still don't get why people insist on having multiple accounts.

If one of my accounts gets hacked for whatever reason then I lose only 1 60 instead of 5 in a server that doesn't allow character retrievals

Fair enough, but if you get a keylogger or something and not notice it, you're bound to lose both accounts that way.

If you are telling the truth, hopefully they cut you some slack if your other account was indeed waiting on the 20 second time out after alt F4.

You're not banned, you were warned for multiboxing. Try to at least get the facts straight. If we allowed exceptions to multiboxing in the cases where a player is too impatient to wait the 20 second countdown, every multiboxer on the server would be claiming that excuse.
