    Not sure if this is the proper section for this thread, but it's not really something I need "Help!" with, and there's not really a bug section, and I'm assuming that all this is bugs.

    So in my house we have 3 people who play from the same IP, and all three of us have premium accounts. We've run into two interesting issues with this:

    1) Random disconnection from the server when 2 - 3 of us are on a server at the same time. It's sporatic, and occasionally happens when just one of us are playing, but far more frequent when we're all playing together on a server.

    2) Only one of us can have premium on a server at a time. Whichever joins first, they get the premium. They have the gold name, and can have the custom head. When that person leaves, the second person to join suddenly gets the gold. To make it extra weird, we can all play on premium servers, and it'll show up as only the first person having gold, and the rest of us being normal players... on a premium server. :D

    So yeah, I could be wrong, but I assume that this isn't how it's supposed to work. Just letting y'all know so it can potentially be fixed. Also, if there's a better or more 'official' way to report bugs, lemme know.

    Yeah i've been having issues like this: for example, whenever me and my housemate play kag at the same time, if he joins first and I join second, he leeches my admin and premium from me and I have nothing.

    Wow. So not only is it a bug, but it's a security risk-type bug. :D Scary.

    Exactly this happens to me and my friends all the time. I've mentioned it in a previous post on here but since then ive done alot of playing with some people all from the same router and it plays havoc with who has premium and who doesnt.

    Also the random disconnects happens alot as well, if you rejoin quickly then the scores are kept the same but even so. bit odd.

    Yeah, but if you're playing on a full server, you run the risk of losing your spot. :\ It's tolerable, but still not optimal.
