Is Multiboxing allowed in Albion Online?

Prepared

Multiboxing is playing multiple accounts/characters at the same time.  With some games such as World of Warcraft, Star Wars the Old Republic, Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn and Wildstar, it is allowed to not only play more than one account but also to control them all with one keyboard and one mouse.  It is allowed because when compared with real players the system works and is fair.

When comparing apples to oranges the system isn't fair.  Such as when comparing the multiboxer to one player playing one account.  That's the same as comparing a group of players to one player playing one account.  In the apples to apples comparison the multiboxer is compared to the same number of players playing separate accounts because it's the same number of characters on the battlefield.  However most people like to use the apples to oranges comparison because most people don't like more competition than they have friends with them (or by themselves).  No one wants to be outnumbered so a lot of forum posts make the apples to oranges comparison.

So the question is:  Will Albion Online allow multiboxing with one keyboard and one one mouse and enjoy the concept of many players with many different play styles playing the game?  Or will they go the way of ArcheAge and not allow it and have just about everyone leave the game because it's not interesting?

Your apples to oranges comparison is about botting, which many people are against.  You want to run each account separately you'll find less resistance than if you gang them all together.

No, this post has nothing at all to do with botting.  All MMORPGs today prohibit botting so there isn't any need to discuss on these forums.  

Does anyone know the answer to the original post?

Don't think you can bot

Since this a highly competitive game, I am guessing that there will be much resistance should other players see you controlling 10 characters at the same time having much more gathering capacity crafting cpacity of success in combat offesivelly and defensivelly all by yourself. And it will lead to the Company to come up with rules to counter this.

This maybe your prefered way of playing but you are a minority. People did not leave Archage because of not being able to play several characters at the same time. People left because the game sucked and was too greedy, and not well designed.

Another Korean game with poor gameplay design and greedy approach to everything.

Which I am affraid Albion is emulating to a degree, just by the fact that you are here asking this question and the fact that gold sellers are already in that game as witnessed iin some beta footage.

Not sure about your question.  Seems like a sermon.  I think they will not allow botting (may not do much about it) but will allow multiboxing (regardless of wacky definitions of multiboxing).
