hairylongpole 2 Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) I have some friends that want to try out Day Z, but I only have limited amounts of money and so do they. So I was thinking of just making another steam account, gifting it ArmA 2: CO, and letting my friends play it at different times with me. Will that result in a ban if more than one person is playing it at different times?*Just wondering before I buy it or plan on doing anything. Havn't done anything yet.

Delark 3 Posted September 14, 2012 I can't see how this would hurt anyone. When you log in to your account on Steam on a different PC, you will be asked to confirm that PC to be allowed to run your Steam account. You can't log in from 2 places at the same time, so it would just log as you playing in a variety of locations. Nothing wrong with that.I do think you'll all play with the same character though, but if that doesn't bother you, it's all safe I assume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But just wanted to make sure it wouldn't result in a ban of some kind for that game key. Like if that counts ad multipe game keys or something like that.

Besides I'm asking here to make sure Day Z Admins won't ban my game key. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hairylongpole 2 Posted September 14, 2012 I'm Confused, does anyone here know for sure if the game key would be banned for this, or can I go ahead and buy a copy for this use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavalin 90 Posted September 14, 2012 As one of the guys mentioned. Steam doesn't need to be running to launch ArmA II once launched, the first time. I don't connect to steam when I play just to save resources. DSL isn't forgiving at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyanyde 165 Posted September 14, 2012 It should be fine.Ignore the douchbags, they look for any reason to jump down a person's throat.Just keep in mind that sharing one account means that one of your friends could possibly lose the gear that you worked hard to collect..Remember not to get too attached to your gear. ever. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
