Multi accounts

[galdikas]

Ok.. I haven't played much different text games. To be honest the only one I have ever really played is torn.

But all games had one thing in common. None of them allows same user to maintain more than one account.

I don't really see the point in it. I mean I can understand that any interactions between accounts that belong to same person should be off limits, due to potential abuse of various aspects of game.

But my question is.. What are the reasons of not allowing having multi accounts?

i mean if someone is bothered enough, and got the time on they're hands to maintain 2 different accounts, so why not let them? Well just with condition that there is no interaction between the 2 accounts.

Is is that just it is easier to enforce bans on creating multi accounts than it would be to monitor all the activity of multi accounts?

What are your views on this??

I believe the reason is to disallow people taking advantage twice on things which other only get once, then sending them to the other account to build up easier and therefore messing with the status quo

While your logic may appear solid, think about the difficulty the staff would have if it were allowed?

If everyone was allowed to have multiple accounts, everyone WOULD have multiple accounts, account to account transfer would be a lot harder to keep track of, as what if they just had friends in on it and passed it to those friends, who in turned passed it to there account?

Imagine the difficulty it would be to keep tabs on.

@Joashua

I mentioned that reason in initial post... So I suppose that is the main and only reason really?

Right but do not forget to read everything said.

It's Impossible to regulate everything in that manner, think as a player.

 

how about as far as the attack feature works?

Attack someone..dang i lost..but just barely. Log onto another account, finish em off.

 

Daily Rewards, lets log on both

Bank interest? lets put all my money from both accounts and slap it in the bank for more interest earned.

 

There are loads of options one takes into consideration when banning multiple accounts.

Those few things about can completely throw off the balance of the game, causing Money, Item, and Level spikes that quickly turn a fun game into a "yawn" everyone is level 1500 game this is lame.

Say you have 5 accounts.

5 accounts collect 5 1000 dollar rewards

5k - bank account interest. A day?

35k a week. All in one account, bank interest.

before you know it, everyone has 2.14 Billion dollars and you are considering changing INT to Bigint to keep up, where does it end?

What about a gang of 50000 members when in reality it's only about 10 actives with multiple accounts?

Not to mention the confusion, Theft, etc that happens in all games

titles such as "omg so and so just ripped me off in this trade"

it's ok though, cuz so and so has multiple accounts and isn't to worried about the one that just ripped you off, perhaps his other is an outstanding member of the community

Look in depth at the question.

Ilike your Idea,It brings more players to the game..butthee prob is ,The players start doing middleman acyivity///from one accthey will send to someone and tell them to send it to the pther..like that ,they can create millions of accounts

I find that multi-accounts mess up game economies. You have players over inflating the markets with whatever gets them the most money. It makes it hard for you as a game owner to try and balance the economy.

Also, multi-account players tend to play for a shorter period of time. If you allow them to have as many accounts as they can, they will abuse it until they get to the very top. Some players enjoy the challenge of getting to the top, but once you have everything you possible can, then what? the game gets boring.
