Your friends can log in. Anyone can log in. We can see the server logs. There are not zounds of people legitimately trying to log in from the same location and being prevented. If that is happening (for example, a college dorm) then we can examine it on a case-by-case basis. But realistically, that's not what this outcry is about.
If you have friends that are upset because they can't multi-bot anymore, then they are welcome to find another game that allows massive multi-accounting and botting. We are not prepared to accept that anymore. If you don't like it, I understand. I sympathize that people have been getting away with botting for a long time and now they can't. But that doesn't change the fact that our rules were being flagrantly disregarded and it was hurting all players.
The game environment was better before multi-botting came around. It was more fun for everyone, and everyone was on an even playing field. A few bad apples spoiled things, but we're now getting rid of the bad apples. People who want to play legitimately are welcome to stay. We're doing this for them. Bad apples can take a walk.
