Here we go again. There was a huuuge discussion on this a few months ago. A resolution was never really reached, though. Pretty much every idea that could be suggest has been mentioned.

The resolution is that the account creation process WILL be tightened up considerably. The gameplay itself has been the priority, but if things get out of hand, that priority could change.

Durgia, even with one account, nothing will change. I've gotten both SirCamps and Defense Ship 4 online (and active) at the same time under the same account. Ask Arolte, I drag-raced myself.

Thats what I am talking about.

Hmm. That isn't supposed to work; when you log in it should kick off your old connection. Ahh, thinking back, I guess you can do it; that will be fixed in the new server.

But nothing is presently stopping you from logging in under two different accounts. That's one of the benefits of collecting credit card numbers and money, I guess.

I really think something should be done to stop people from logging in twice under two different chars. Also switch chars every minutes to spy on enemy nations.

Both of these things really should not be allowed. Having chars just to spy on others is fine with me since people can RP a spy. However when they constantly switch over to another char to mine a flag or something that is more then cheap.

The second one is rather hard to do anything about. However the first one should be able to be stopped. Only allow an account to log in once. If they try to log in while already logged then both chars should be d/c.

As for the second one...I don't know how that could be fixed without making some annoying timer or something that would be more annoying than helpful.
