Seeing as everyone and their mom suggests/expects a restriction on something (dual box / offline shop / whatever) based on IP adress, let me explain something:

There are exactly 4 294 967 296 public IPv4 adresses available to the world. IPv6 has quite a bigger pool, but that is years away from being the standart.

Cisco, provider of about 85% of world's networking, traffic-wise, expects 50 billion computers, smartphones, tv's and other devices connected to the interned by the end of 2020. That is 11,6 devices, on average, that will need to share the same IP. There is no way anything can be filtered by IP any more.

2020 is a few years away, but IP sharing has been common since the inception of internet. Odds are your entire household has only one public IP - the router or access point, and all your computers and other devices are hidden behind this one device with single IP adress. There are huge condo's with tens of appartments that share the same internet connection with single IP, there are villages and town where everything is connected through one provider. In fact i work in a billion EUR industrial complex that has all of it's traffic routed through a single proxy server - Google sometimes blocks us off, because there are too many search queries coming from single IP.

No sir, no need to worry, nothing will be filtered, allowed or restricted, based solely on IP adress, because nothing can.

Anyway Draqla said that will be restricted by computer (not IP), so technically if you have 10 PC at your home then you will be able to play with 10 account.

​that's good for people living together, since they'll be able to play with each other with no issues.

however, it is also a backdoor for botters.

​Yes it should be based off of hardware ID which does allow people like myself to play multiple PC's at the same time through teamviewer, or it opens the door for people to legitimately play one toon, while botting on others and sharing in the glory with their legit toon.
