The Classic PW 1.8.7: multiboxing and what the rules allow
The Classic PW 1.8.7 (187) is the modern server of the Brazilian network The Classic, online on the game’s 1.8.x content, the one with the Bard. Its rules, also published in English, allow only software that stores accounts and PvE combos, ban following the leader and repeating actions across accounts, and add rule 3.4.3 against programs that change how skills work. PW Overlay hasn’t been tested on this client yet.

Not sure? Ask in writing
Hi! I play several accounts with PW Overlay. On The Classic PW 1.8.7, can I use a program for form and disband the party, buffs, and assist (leader’s target)? If so, could you confirm it in writing? Thanks!

How the rules apply to the app
Window limit: no fixed number; rule 2.2.6 bans getting around the per-computer character limit in instances, events and maps
Penalties can hit: IP, The Classic ID, HWID
Anti-cheat: yes (rule 2.2.2 treats any attempt to bypass it as hacking; the rules don’t name it)
Key passages
- 3.4.3 “Skill Alteration: The use of third-party software that alters the normal operation and mechanics of skills is strictly prohibited. This includes the use of external "Skillsender" type programs or software that manipulates the casting system (auto-complete) to "cut skills" and force animations to be canceled.”

What PW Overlay does here (and what you keep off)
-
The app doesn’t recognize this client yet: the server card in the app says “1st time on this client”, and the first time you teach it the party buttons (it asks on its own).
-
The app doesn’t have this server’s rules yet: the first time you use each feature, it warns that nobody has checked them and asks whether you want to go ahead. Answer by this server’s rules, below.
-
The rules here ban follow the leader: don’t use this feature.
-
Here form and disband the party, buffs, and assist (leader’s target) are not on the allowed list: the rules only allow what’s on their list (2.2.5 and 3.1.4). It’s risky: only use them with written permission from the server staff.
-
With Premium, the rules here allow the PvE combo: the party combo fires each character’s own combo once with Shift+Del and then recharges, in the background, with you at the PC. But the Terms of Use (8.1) forbid any program that automates actions: ask the staff before using the combo. See plans

How to use PW Overlay here
- Network rules, the same as on The Classic PW 1.2.6: opening and logging in the accounts and PvE combos are allowed (rule 2.2.5); following the leader and repeating actions across accounts are not (rule 3.1.4).
- Before you turn the combo on, ask the staff: Terms of Use 8.1 bans “unauthorized third-party software”, listing macros, scripts and “any program that automates actions”. Rule 2.2.5 is what authorizes PvE combos, but neither text mentions the other: get a written OK on the network’s Discord (theclassic.games/discord) and keep the reply.
- Party, buffs and assist are not on the allowed list (rule 2.2.5 doesn’t include them): only with written permission from the staff. Depending on how serious the offense is, the penalty reaches every account linked to the same IP, The Classic ID or HWID (rule 2.5.2). Each network rule is quoted on the 1.2.6 page.
- Only on 1.8.7, rule 3.4.3 bans third-party software that changes how skills work, such as Skillsender or programs that cut skills short and cancel animations. Use the combo like a manual combo, without cutting skills; if in doubt, ask on the network’s Discord (theclassic.games/discord).
- No account playing on its own: rule 2.2.1 bans third-party programs, bots, macros and auto-pots used to get around anti-AFK systems or to gather resources and hunt monsters without you, and rule 3.4.2 sends bot reports through the !bot command, with a video of at least 3 minutes.
- The 1.8.7 client isn’t the 1.2.6 one: the interface, the party window and sometimes the executable itself change. The first time, teach the app the party buttons (it asks on its own); what changes in this client is on the version 1.8.7 page.
- To read the rules in English, pick English in the language menu at the top of theclassic.games and open Rules: the address stays the same, and without that choice the page opens in Portuguese.
