Ya but it's not multilogging same chara. As well as everyone can do it so I'm unsure of any downside. I just recently found out about this, so I'd say it's due to the fact not many people know about it. Also why does multilogging affect anybody?

To me global chat is always hopping. I'd say the 30sec chat timer of non subbed members is probably a main reason people don't talk, or just the fact they don't want to talk.

If someone has their main hanging out in edgeville and four other accounts in random areas around the map, they are only interacting on their main usually.  People don't interact with their semi-afk chars so if some new person starts playing and tries to interact with a char that is being afk'd or semi-afk'd, they feel like they're in the presence of a bot.  This is poisonous to a server trying to gain new players.

i feel like youre getting the wrong idea from the multilogging idea. i understand what youre saying but why would you want to take accounts away from people. what if i want to pk and fish at the same time... i need to be on two accounts, click fishing spot continue what im doing and repeat. it is good for the enviroment and not bad for it in my opinion.

The reason it's not good to fish with one account while pking with the other is that you are only really present on one account (in this case most likely the pker).  The problem with bots is that no one is present on the account.  With a bot, you are present 0% of the time, with afk you are present maybe 5% of the time and this is probably being generous. 

This is what I mean by botting being effectively the same as multilogging.  In both cases you are playing the game without actually participating and without being present.  It may sound like a nice idea but it's actually not good for server health and it just so happens to be the motive for using bots.  The two are just too close for comfort.

Have you ever had a discussion with someone who is only listening to you half the time?  Does it make you want to have a discussion with them again?  This is what happens if you interact with someone who is watching multiple accounts and it's actually bad for a community, especially one that is looking for new members.

Multi logging has no inherent similarity to bot use.
As you stated bot use makes it so you're there 0% of the time.
Let's say I'm training combats on one account, fishing on another, mining on another and sitting in edge. I will inherently have to keep up on actions  (Or eating) or it's just not effective.
I've had many times on my player account seen people who were multi. But after 3 minutes or so I got a "hey sorry also fletching" and then they became social on that one. That takes far more than 5% human interaction.

In my experience, it is only sometimes true that the person you strike up a conversation with answers and becomes social.  Why?  Because in being absent the majority of the time you are far less likely to see chat.  You are only paying attention enough to know when to bank, eat, etc. and are missing the opportunities more often than not.  Any way you slice it, your ability to socialize is inversely proportionate to the number of accounts you are juggling.

As far as having no "inherent" similarity to botting, you are incorrect for the 95% of the time where both bots and multis are not paying attention.  Therefore, they are inherently similar 95% of the time. 

As far as my stance on botting is concerned, this thread is in no way defending it.  I have never and never plan to bot.  I'm rather suggesting that multilogging has similar effects to the integrity of the experience of this server and it's ability to attract new players.

You can always chat with people in global unlike the original rsc.

If you had 5 chars on you could attempt to have 5 conversations at the same time. Thus being 5 times more likely to get a response.

Multilogging = player putting the work/efforts.
Botting = no efforts/work.
Can't believe how you can even compare both lol.

Talk in global that simple I like to keep to my self alwos me to train with out stoping
