the idea is to have only one character per account and that it memorizes your ip adress so you cant log on another account and alt vault with it. This would make it so in a large village you wouldnt be able to just give your mains key to your alt and steal steal steal with your alt then run and put it all in a palisade or brickwall vault and then once the scent dissapears simply give all the items to your main character and your village wouldnt know it was you, youd have no scents and theyd just think ohhh i guess someone must have hacked and got through the walls without a key.
There should be consequences to your actions but with alts you can steal from your friends and they would never ever be able to know it was you. I personally find this wrong and gamebreaking.
Having one character per account makes it so your character is worth more to you instead of having 10 different characters all used for a different thing like mining/farming whatever. Currently there is no need for setting up village roles of who will have industry and mine or who will have nature and farm. The game is already set as a jack of all trades with restrictions being belief sliders but at the moment all that does is make it so you have to make a few extra alts that bypasses the belief system.
