resopalrabotnick Posted May 13, 2006 CID Share Posted May 13, 2006 what i was wondering about is WoW. if i have 2 comps each with their own copy and 2 accounts, can 2 players be online at the same time? or will the servers balk at both games coming from the same public ip, there be a problem that both comps will want the same ports on the connection for the game or any other issues?
