There's 3 of us in my family that would like to play at the same time but the game only seems to allow for 2 people to connect to the game. Is there a rule that restricts this or is there a bug somewhere?

There's 3 of us in my family that would like to play at the same time but the game only seems to allow for 2 people to connect to the game. Is there a rule that restricts this or is there a bug somewhere?
As far as I could find out, there is no restriction:
https://support.trionworlds.com/app/...~/multi-boxingQuote:
It is perfectly valid for a player to play on multiple accounts at the same time.
While we do not condone or tolerate unattended gameplay or botting, if a player is actively in control of all of their characters, they are not in violation of our Code of Conduct.
Can I ask how your family members and you try to play the game?
I've not heard about this before, have you tried to contact support live chat from http://support.trionworlds.comQuote:

I/we are all playing via the free-to-play option so live chat is not available. However, I will email them if I can't get a solution via the forums, I thought I would try here 1st before resorting to submitting a support ticket.

We all have pretty much the same PC setups all running Windows 7 x64 and all connected to the internet modem via a simple home network through a router. This is the 1st time we all want to play the same game (usually we're all playing something different).
As far as I heard, that only applies to Rift but not to Defiance.Quote:

Need to fiddle a bit more. What a pain!
No problems with the pre-Glyph launcher. I don't have the new Glyph launcher installed. I am able to open 3 clients without much issue to trade between accounts. I could probably open more clients if my system could handle it. SO in reference to the OP, I don't think there's a limitation of accounts via same IP address. As has been suggested, probably something in the new Glyph launcher.Quote:

You shouldn't be restricted, but if you're having trouble, we do have Live Chat available! :oQuote:

Have you tried selecting "Defiance" from the "Game Selector" menu on the right?
that might be his problemQuote:
