Honestly, some of these ideas about implementing a plot maintenance system sound like they're just begging for chaos, lol. Can you imagine the panic if a large village suddenly goes dark because someone forgot to pay their "claim rent"? xD
As for dealing with alts, I get the frustration, but disallowing them completely seems a bit extreme. There's gotta be a better way than just nuke accounts; maybe a balanced approach would actually keep things engaging without blowing up the entire game mechanics.
Community dynamics are such a mess right now! The fine line between legit play and exploitation keeps getting blurrier. Wouldn't be surprised if half the players just throw their arms up and quit if things get too complicated.
