Playing at work with work colleagues during lunch break...

Post by Stigdu »

I have been a Premium member for about 2 or 3 years now, but I seem to remember the last time I tried to play with 2 of work colleagues in the same office and inviting them to my game, only one of them could join. Is this a bug, or was it because they are not Premium members as well?

Thank you

When any player at a table is premium, the "no playing from the same IP" restriction should be lifted from the entire table (unless something has changed recently). So you should be able to have all your workmates play with only one premium member.

Yeah, IMO there are several cases :
- 1 computer for multiple players : a premium account is required
- 1 device/computer per player, with the same IP (= using the same internet connection) : no premium account is needed
- 1 device/computer per player, with different IP : no premium account is needed

If you're playing at work with your company connection, you're probably in the 2nd case.

Make sure the person which is prenium join first (/create the game). Maybe that was the problem.
