New Rules on Shared and Traded Accounts

Just to let the Gm team know

I heard of players talking about making a "test dummy" alt and then sharing it to test out the new coding program

Just a heads up

In my opinion, they are walking a thin red line!

Kinda like a kid pushing his parents to see just how much he can get away with. SNAP!

I love the idea of blocking shared accounts but am not sold on your solution. The only way to determine would be off the devices personal address,ip or geolocation.

Devices mac address can not be usedcas many of us use mutiple devices or upgrade phones.

Ip can not be used as some people use wifi and cell data from different locations.

This leaves us with geo checking. In theory this would work if there wasnt many people using vpn network. There is countries with big firewalls and companies. Some just use for the encryption.

Thus leaving us rite where we started. Unless you plan on revoking vpn networks.

It seems to me that the only people who should be concerned about this are those who have been /are sharing accounts. The rule has been around for long enough and now it's going to be properly enforced.

People have already invested days, hours and years of time into this game and real money ranging from $1 up into the thousands. That investment suggests faith in the creator to do things right....so lets have the same level of trust with this enforcement.

It's that simple.

A big thank you from me for this update. It's been a long time coming.

I agree with h4terz on this one that is also true ip can also change from resetting a phone or getting a new one
+1 from me

Those were my exact thoughts also Leone

Why would a player that doesn't share accounts complain about this?

I for one am not complaining. You forget this a forum for discussion lol. If you would prefer to accuse and attack then have an open conversation i wont participate.

I'm not attacking anyone

And I want you to participate

Everyone has a right to voice their opinions

↑ have to agree, after all there is such a thing as playing the devil's advocate.

To argue against or attack an idea, argument, or proposition—even if one is in favor of it—for the sake of debate or to further examine its strength, validity, or details.

Which by no means says that L3on3 isn't correct when he said:

All the rest is pure discussion!

What? . . LK concerned? . . Not likely! . . No reason.

One more simple suggestions. Maybe that may help. No player can play more than 12 hours per day. Then need 8 hours sleep lol. And have other household works. So accounts online for more than 12 hours per day should raise suspicion being shared and should be carefully monitored.

I have school 5/7 days out of the week. On weekends or days off, etc, if I don't have lag I'll play from when I wake up, til I fall asleep. Sometimes that can be 13+ hours.

Exactly .. it is sometimes more than 13+ hours. Not all the times..i meant for those who are almost a always online regularly on a daily basis. I have seen 1 player almost always online at the giant spiders. One more player at cave giants. Obviously a single person cannot be on all the time.

For that observation, you much be on 'almost always' too! Sounds like
