Alt Problem Solved?

Postby Acefirebird » Fri Apr 29, 2016 5:01 am

Genius hearthling solves the alt problem in the hearthlands with this one WEIRD idea:

- Add diseases
- The more alts an account has the more susceptible that players characters are to diseases and thus premature death

Note: to get around this players could just make more accounts with one alt each but that's something that will always happen no matter what, unless you add some sort of payment process to discourage making multiple accounts

So this is without any use.

+1

It'd literally be pointless if it could still be circumvented.

It's a step in the right direction. But I guess it would take further analysis to decide whether it would cause more damage to the game than good. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

I do not convinced alt is the problem in the beginning place. Beside to this one, I have only one character on all alts accounts of mine. Why bother making this alt if I can not log to both at simultaneous?

Very tricksy you players are. I guess my idea is useless then :x . Maybe next time. Thank you Burrin and Ysh for such swift corrections of my ignorance, I shall have a cup of tea now.

Yeah you sorta figured that one out when you said it was useless in the OP.

It's okay, everyone has dumb ideas.

Basic rule of corporate media applies:
If the headline ends in a question mark then the answer is 'no' and you can skip the content since it is factually unsound.

Hence: Sorry, no. Would only work in case you charge per character slot and even that would fail given that people seem to be willing to shell out two subscription tokens to get the rock crystals for a charter stone...
