I have a younger brother and sister who have watched me play Haven & Hearth and would like to try playing it.
We have two computers that can run Haven, though one of them is a little laggy. Both computers are behind a router on a single IP address.
I have a few questions:
1 Will the game accept multiple connections from the same IP address on different accounts?
2 Is this against the rules?
3 Will the game allow separate accounts on the same IP address not connecting at the same time?
4 Is this against the rules?

Re: Multiple connections from the same IP address
1. Yes, it will. The only problem could be if your router is buggy and does not re-allocate duplicate port usages. Seeing how the probability for port collision is low, though, that shouldn't be a problem anyway.
2. No, certainly not.
3. Yes, definitely. The only thing it does not allow in that regard is connecting to the same account multiple times simultaneously, for obvious reasons. :)
4. No, certainly not.
