People will not play a game with 1 charecter at a time now, People will simply go to another server or another game where they can play to their full potential.
Your "General consensus" consists of about 5 people posting 20 times in this thread. Most people do not read the forums, and most people like to multiclient, you can tell this by the ip / charecters loged in.
Get with the times.
As for knocking my consensus, you're obviously either misreading what I said or twisting my comments out of context to fit into your argument.Mikel123 wrote:Spot-on. I would have probably left if I came here and it was a one-client max. And I agree on his assessment of the "general consensus". If most people felt like you guys did, we'd have 300 uniques on, with 320 total clients or something.
What I said was...
Which is true, there is a considerable portion of the playerbase which does not like the multiclienting aspect of this server.benny- wrote:What I've found here is that there is a large majority of the playerbase here that does not want multiclienting, which can be seen in the overwhelming support this thread has received so far.
The consensus was quite obviously not that of the entire community but of those in agreement here in this discussion. It was posted to reiterate what we were talking about here and to keep the discussion from being sidetracked by arguments of people wanting to keep their accounts and those who wanted to play with their families.
So please, do not try to twist my words about as if to say I'm suggesting the entire Secondage community wants this. I am only posting what we here have found to be a reasonable solution to an issue that much of the shard has a distaste for.
As for your comments on not playing if multiclienting was removed. Again I'll take my stance that if you're unwilling to play without multiclienting, why are you even on a server that emulates the era in the first place? Again, this shard has a history of making changes to make the game more like the era. Patches and updates that have taken out the convenience of modern shards to make the game more like the era (single cut bandages anyone?). This shard has always taken the stance of making the game era accurate, accepting the era as a whole, despite it being unpopular at times. This is just another example of how the shard could be made more accurate despite a portion of the playerbase screaming "everyones gonna quit!"
As for Rhap...a good post. If we want to further this discussion we should look at previous ones regarding the same issue. But to those who'd suggest that the issue has been brought up before and as such should be left alone, Derrick himself came to the same conclusion we did....
Which is exactly what we're suggesting. Yes there will still be instances of abuse. On occasion there will be that player who uses his multiple connections to benefit himself. But then, it is easy to monitor those who do have multiple connections as they will be but a minority of the overall playerbase. Thus abuse would easily be spotted.Derrick wrote:The only way to implement something like this is to set one connection per IP address, and then assign additional connections if we can demonstrate there are more than one real person playing at that address, but even then you get into the situation where those people can multi client if their roomie isn't on.
true story..
