Limit number of characters per account.

Clearly, there needs to be a session ID for each account and it should take the ip involved.
Rather than letting people multiclient as they wish, improve on the log out functionality so you can switch accounts faster.

So if multiple accounts are logged on, and all of them come from one IP, then you can force logout on the "older" session clients.

and what about multiple people in the same household who play? do you honestly think that all this hasn't been discussed before ad nauseam?

You don't know anything about networking do you?

Using a standard ISP dsl modem connected to a router, when you access the internet on different computers, you can tell that you have different WAN IP by visiting http://www.whatismyip.com with each computer.
If your network consists of multiple computers using the same Local and WAN IP, it'll conflict and you would NEVER be able to use the internet in the first place.

So limiting # of accounts to be active on a IP is possible so long as you create and manage the rules and exceptions to the matter (but seriously, you take every word for granted so you can't expand on it yourself).

For people using USB wireless internet connections, having multiple computers connect to a main computer to access the internet would still won't be a problem, since the entire IP system is about giving each device/computer a UNIQUE ip address to connect to the isp to access the internet

You don't know anything about networking do you? because if you would not have made such an asinine post. i have two computers on the same router right fucking now, both share the same external IP address. what the fuck do you think a router DOES?

It is not detrimental to the server.

Thank you for addressing the situation. It appears as though character limits are not currently needed.

I'm gonna go ahead and close this thread because people suggesting horrible ideas in it just makes me look bad for bringing it up.

E: Apparently you cannot close your own threads? Well shucks.
