New to the game and already separate tents-marriage isn't going well?

Haha...no it was just for info really...nice to know we aren't stuck in a particular part of the map.

Come to IRC and ask for a GM i think is best way. I am told that the staff is somewhat allowing certain cases of multi-logging but strictly speaking, it's still a violation according to the rules.

EDIT - I'm in an IRC and awaiting a response from JovankaB...thanks for the info.

You generally won't get a character outright banned without so much as a question.  Think of cops making drunk people do stupid human tricks.  Look up, touch your nose, walk on this line, stand on one foot, do the hokey pokey, etc.

Most likely, if it were to be an issue, a GM would pull you both aside and it would get sorted out.  I wouldn't worry about it so much, as anymore dual logging isn't really an issue unless you're using it in PvP to gain an advantage.  As far as I know, 99% of the rest of the game isn't much of a concern.  Hunting, crafting, making tents, doing quests, etc.  You'll most likely be okay.  And even if you do get pulled aside for stupid human tricks, simply being reasonable, and not a dick, will undoubtedly yield good results.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R:
Is it possible for me to buy a base just for me and my alts?
or do I need other players to follow me? maybe even dual log?
Or can I tell friend to buy base and then kick him out so just me and alts?

bring your alts to the place log them all out and then fast log them all back in. even thou they are in loged out status as long as they are taged to guy buying base all will be good and it will work or at least for me it did. also you could just dual log no gm will punish you for this.

Marko:
This comes from a RL friend of mine who was "caught" while multi-logging during the previous season. He got his sister to play and would often go to her house so they could talk while he helped her learn the game. They would go mining together so this looked like one player power-mining with multiple alts:

He was "taken to jail" by game staff, and given a series of tests. The tests were designed to make it clear to the staff member if the two characters were being controlled by two different RL people, or if it was a case of multi-logging and thus only one person cheating.

He was able to pass the test but he was glad she was there in the room at that moment. She had taken a short break right before they were arrested. She came back and got control of the 2nd character fast enough that the staff was satisfied.

So i'm saying that a husband/wife team would be better off initiating such a test when they are ready, on their own terms, and not wait for staff to start a test at a bad time, like when his wife goes to read a magazine about curtains or something, or look at puppies. She could be buying shoes, who knows what she's doing when that test starts. Or it could be him - she might have him run to the store to pick up new curtain accessories, or have him moving furniture. Who knows what she'll make him do. So by approaching the staff on their own, they can make sure they are both present, in-game and ready. After that, either of them and go take a break, try on new shoes or adjust the curtains however they want. Y'know?
