Router and 2 players at once?

[Timace]

Hi guys!
I wonder if anyone knows if its possible to play 2 pc:s
at once via a router, i have a netgear and in other games it works just fine.
Of course i understand that i in that case must have two accounts, cos two cant play with one key.
Its nice to have a girl to play with, instead of just playing with myself :D
In some games its not possible but i hope it works in Planetside.
I think it will be worth the money.
Thanks

Can't think of a reason why not. It sounds possible, but i'm not completly(sp?) sure.

The question is: is your girlfriend worth 15$ a month? Two computers on a lan could play planetside, but you'd have to pay for two subsciptions.

[Timace]

Its certainly is worth it, cos when shes having her period or whatever, my friends will come over and play with me.
Just waiting for may 19...if they release it here at the same time as US.













If you cant beat me, fuck my girlfriend

Hell if i wanted to play id pay the extra money :)

Me and my roomate will both be playing and were hooked up with a router, ive already been beta testing and he will be starting in the open beta so i can post then if it works ok

Problems will occur if the game does not allow you to connect on more than one set of ports. If the router is recieving info for both games on the same ports it will not work properly. If you can change the game settings to use a different set of communication ports then it will almost certainly work unless the server only allows one connection per IP address.

I don't know about PS (cause I am betaless unless I win one of the contests) but I play DAoC with my dad through the same connection via a router and it works fine. Hope that helps you, if even a little.

is it cool having your dad play video games with you? my dad hates video games.

[MilitantB0B]

Yeah its pretty cool. Its always fun when you can play a game with someoen you know i nreal life and all my other friends and relatives think it is an addiction that has taken over my life. I just tell em "If you think this is bad, wait till I get Planetside!!!"
Actually, that is why I am getting PS. It doesn't seem like half the time sink that DAoC was. Maybe I can convert my dad and we can kill some vanu together. :D

It doesn't look like anyone has answered your question for sure yet...

Both myself and my brother are in the exclusive and we have no problem playing across the same connection though a Netgear 318 VPN router.

It is great fun to be on Teamspeak and in the same tank, so much easier then trying to type... You can actually say things like
"Enemy SE, back up"
or
"NE enemy is too close, run him over" *splat*

We also both use phenoix, and we have gotten so "in tune" at times that our missles are fired at exactly the same time and run parallel though the air, it must look really neat!
