I played for four years, 2006 to 2010. I left because the economy tanked, and the new expansions drastically changed how the game was being played. It became difficult and expensive to level new jobs. The core of my LS was quitting. I always funded my play with Gardening. I hope in Nas, I can return to profitably growing Ore.

I have two questions about rules.

1. Only Three Characters - does this mean mules or does this mean separately playable accounts?

2. What does HELM mean in terms of dual boxing?

I only ask because I want to be sure to honor the rules.

So what does the acronym HELM mean? Probably showing my age here.
Does this mean you can not dual box to PL your low level party? Just being sure.
Sorry if these questions seem naive or stupid. I have not played any MMOS for 6+years

Well, after a little googling... Harvest, Excavation, logging and mining. That is fine. I should have remembered that since I used to do those activities a lot. However, doing that with a Mule is just a little nutz. However, it makes sense to avoid people leveraging multiple characters to camp spawns.

Hey!

The 3 limit means 3 characters log in at the same time. So that's 3 accounts. As mentioned above, 2 you are allowed to dualbox and go hunt, 1 for Bazaar. You CAN PL yourself. Many people dual box for that.

You can make as many characters per account as you want. Although I really recommend having only 1 since there is still bug that can make your character disappear.
