Strategus accountsharing/multiaccounting and it's consequences

[Tears of Destiny]

No seriously, fuck real lifers who complain about not being able to spend money on some stupid videogame instead of, I dunno... Something real?

We have more then enough "dark orbits" and even plenty of "spend micro transactions to get ahead" like the next Diablo game coming out.

There are also legal issues of chadz demanding money considering this is not his game, only a mod for a game.

cRPG is about leveling, which naturally takes time.

But hey, whatever. Clearly we don't agree, so best of luck in your life.

lol, someone is poor and mad.

Says the guy who posts constant "it is so unfair that you guys have an advantage!"

I have a life. Despite all the hours spent playing warband and adding all the hours spent on the forums, it is still no where near the time these "no-lifers" spend playing.

Seven or eight months later my main is only gen 5, yet I am okay with that, I am ok that all these guys can invest so much time that they have shittons of looms etc. So what exactly is your problem?

Stop playing this game if it is so unfair, and have fun with real life. There is a reason I am almost never online on saturdays, and never at that night. I suggest you find that reason too.

You wanna spend money to gain an advantage? Find another game (p2p) or buy a bitchin gaming rig.

Right now it's that you have clearly lost your ability to understand sarcasm and are taking the forums far too seriously lately.  Get mad at the internet less like you used to man.  ffs, you used to be fun and cool.  Now you're just a burnt out bummer lately.  WTF happened to you.

buy a bitchin gaming rig.

Already have. 

*I want our old ToD back.
At this rate soon you'll end up full-on-mean-venomous-fuckhat like Zealot, Corrado, myself and a few others.*

Lately everyone is a equus africanus asinus who spends literally every single day bitching about this game, yet still plays it. I was never "fun" I was just stupid enough to not notice all the endless "nerf this and that and everything" threads, or the countless "so I wuz playing earlier and called someone a tard but then he called me a tard back so like wut I am the only one allowed to get offended or insult people dood wtf" posts.

Now we have strat, people wanted strat, yet all we get now is "why the fuck is strat unfinished!?" despite most people saying"release strat already even if buggy!"

Most gaming forums have idiots being idiots to other players, that is normal, but I have never seen a community like this one where so many people bitch and whine about the very fucking game that they play every week.

Fuck the old ToD I hope he dies in a fire for being such a tool.

[Gorath]

So....
TLDR;  You've come to the point where you hate the community too?  Tis a sad time indeed then.

I guess it's too late then.  Welcome to the club.

Yes.

WTF happened to you.

This:

On a side note, the ToD that normally uses voice chat and plays with you guys has been hit by a... An accident has happened to him... So one of the ToD who normally just helps with the forum posts will be the one playing and chatting on Team speak, so beware the new voice.

Most gaming forums I've ever been in have been that way

I suggest we implement retinal scans to replace passwords.

Its fullproof!

Still waiting for this to be enforced.

[Jambi]

I remember i once played an online game, cant remember how it was called.

But there was also a rule about multi accounting/dual boxing etc.

The only way in order to make it legit, was by sending in a copy of every persons ID card or social security number too the dev team.

Was this game hosted in Nigeria?

If you read user agreements, for online games. Most of them have something like this:"

Security and Anti - Fraud. For security and anti-fraud purpose, the Company may require the purchaser to provide personal information such as name, address, phone number, social security number, and copy of picture ID. Purchasers may also be required to write and sign a statement certifying that their purchases are real and valid. Failure to do so may result in suspension of the purchaser's Account.

Basicly comes down too, that they have all the rights...

So if a game has a rule that is against multi accounting.... and you have 1 account that is your own, but another account is been logged in from the same IP... but has diffrent personal details. They can enforce this rule, by suspecting you having a hacked 2nd account. If you catch my drift. 

If they dont trust your accounts, they can always throw up some BS security reason... and you will have to send in your details

For example. Online Poker games. Multi accounting GG hehe

*edit* Game was called Trivian

Questions to the Donkey-Team:

What if a mate comes over with his pc for a few days and plays warband/strat from here... It would be the same IP but different pcs/cookies. Would that bring me in danger? would I have to report that every time?

[kinngrimm]

i am all for disallowing unfair advantages!!!

Nevertheless devs, think of making it unsuitable to even consider account sharing through game mechanics.

F.E.

If you include into the RANKs

1.  RANK 10 is allowed once a day to give
1.a)  movement commands to members who haven't logged in for say 3+ days
1.b) members what they do in fiefs, give this a delay of 1-2 days
the delays and restrictions still encourage to make those changes within the communication with the members faction but allows the leadership of the clan to put their guys to use if they are just on holiday. Those who are offline for say 1 month are automaticly removed from the factions and need to reapply for faction themselves afterwards.

2. Also it is thinkable to restrict these actions by action points per day, like the leader 3 action points, ranks 9-6 have altogether 4 action points,
these then can be used for emergencies or general logistics.


3. Those in the same faction with RANK >=6 see with a smaller radius what others in their faction see with a RANK <6 on the map. Scouting!!!


=> so why now would anyone still would want to have multiple accounts ... ah the production capacity, well i made another suggestion to include a efficiency peak, at f.e. 70-100 members have a maximum production value anything above doesn't give them additional production power or at least considerable less production power.
