As the owner of 3 accounts, one main long term account with one main full long term character and two lite accounts that like to strategically watch the game from various stations depending on what I am doing, I say, with the new light tier play system, lets eliminate all the alts. Each account should be it's own Character and should require their 99 cents per month or $10 per month. No more getting 5 chars for 99 cents or $10, let's have one char per account. Let the player choose between the types of accounts.

Of course that would mean no more x1's for me. But i'm ok with it.

-1 I disagree that 5 characters per account is too generous. Seems just right.

greenwall, should someone get 5 chars for 99 cents?

That's because yer part of the problem Wally.

+1 to less mockery of the game mechanics.
+1 to less SPAM in 100
+1 devs making more money per account for schizos
+1 to reduction of fallbacks like "make a TGFT alt" — FIX REAL PROBLEMS

Reduce the alts down to 3 UNDELETEABLE alts. Less pansy game play.

they should get 5 limited characters for 99 cents, is that not the way it works? lite subs are capped at 4?

yes, I have 10 systems I can monitor for $1.98 per month. I move them around in my main char's atlas x. I have an ipod and an ipad that watch the systems.

+1 to Kenny reviving my alt thread that inc shut down prematurely because it's too broke to fix or too much work to correct.

Can you idiots stop using his real name? I haven't seen him give permission for it.

Other than that I'm fine with limitting it a bit. Removing all 5 other chars is a bit harsh. What will people who don't have a "main" do? Will they get the Chance to split their other character as a new account?

+1 to limiting character slots on limited accounts. Make it an in-app purchase or something to buy more.

Can you idiots stop using his real name? I haven't seen him give permission for it.

It probably has something to do with the fact that he used it for both his login acct and character name. Trolls will be trolls...

This would be more profitable model for devs and is still very fair to players as well as stopping abuses by players who should be paying for insane numbers of alts. If you are going to play that much you should pay a fair price for it. Higher profits = faster and better updates (hopefully).

Premium Account $10
3 Characters - character can be deleted after 2 weeks of inactivity and replaced with a new one.

Lite Account $3
1 Character - Limited to license lvl 4 - 2 additional slots can be purchased for $2 each - 2 weeks of inactivity to delete character and start a new one

Free 2 Play (only on mobiles)
1 Character - lvl 3 limit - no upgrade options other than go to lite lvl

We have no idea what Kyle's real name is, but kbireta must stand for something and those are the only two men's names we could think of.

Come on, Kyle Bireta. It sounds like a brand of American-made pistols or something. He's like the character in a western that always shoots the bad guy accidentally.

Why nerf premium subs? What "abuses" are you supposedly trying to stop here?

I can see charging for character slots as a way to make money. Other games have done the same thing.
Jan 27, 2015 capt.tightpants link
How is limiting a premium account to 3 characters nerfing? That gives you the ability to play as one of each of the major factions or however you decide to split them.

What possible reason would you need more than one of each faction?

That fact that you feel that is nerfing says to me you have found a loophole/workaround allowing you to exploit alt accounts for an advantage. What that may be I don't know so why don't you tell us a legitimate reason for more than 3 characters when you are only paying $10 a month?
