in the document at http://botdev.valhallalegends.com/documents/cpobnet.html, skywing states that the packet supports retrieving profiles from multiple accounts.

but i am unable to do this; the server always replies with 0 accounts and 0 keys.

I'm thinking that since the games don't support retrieving multiple profiles at a time, the servers have disabled that feature...

either that, or perhaps i'm doing it wrong... if that's the case, then could can show me a packetlog of it being done correctly?

(note that i'm able to retrieve a single account's profile successfully, it's just when i try to retrieve profiles from multiple accounts in a single request that im troubled with)

Hmm.

Are you sure you did it right? Maybe you could paste your code.

more importantly, here's some packetlogs of some requests i've made, and the replies i had received...

I've never tried making this work either, but the second format is what I understand to be the correct one:

[code]
(DWORD)             Number of Accounts
(DWORD)             Number of Keys
(DWORD)             Request ID
(STRINGS)       Requested Accounts
(STRINGS)       Requested Keys
[/code]

I think that your guess at it having been disabled is reasonable. It may just be that this functionality was never implemented on the servers since, as you point out, the games don't need it.
