Will Battle.net be able to distinguish two different machines on the network and allow a seperate account to be logged in from each?
Quote: I see no reason why we can't play over the network now (don't think we even need a second copy of the game for this), but we'd like to play on Battle.net.Legally, you're required to purchase a copy of the game for each user (or something to that effect). But I don't think the Feds will bust down your door for playing co-op DII anytime soon. :)
Just to confirm -- yes, you'll need another copy of both DII & LoD to both play on Battle.net, and your network configuration should pose no problems. Oh, but as Sickywicky said -- with the one external IP, if one of you gets realm down, so will the other.
