UO Second Age

People had suggested using just one account or to put an end to multiclienting. If you had it that way then might as well restart everything from scratch...wipe all accounts. I mean could you pick and choose your favourite chars if they were spread over a three account basis...sacrificing one for the other? I mean fair is fair, many people have already well established themselves in this fashion anyway. If it is indeed an exploit then those chars should be forfeit. And for those who haven't, their chars are probably too new to even matter. A restart would just be another new character they are trying to learn re/learn the ropes on concerning this era.
Would you put an end to Razor? For it, and those applications like it allows multi-clienting and would be the only way to remove multi-accounts from the shard.
But then you'd ask for most of your well established players to leave in frustration.
And you would get bored waiting for a positive sign that your alt l alt whatever keys were eventually getting somewhere before your tool breaks.
Having multi accounts heightens both security and danger...and allows you to play those easier conquests you started out with again after your well seasoned adventurer does nothing anymore but play guild politics and haze newbies safely from within his tower for the most part.
Taking era-accuracy out of the picture as it is disputable because people did do it but hardly the common player, why would you want to keep a three account limit or why would you want to restrain it to one?

While I don't see this actually happening, I would be in favor of a one account limit, perhaps with an option to pay for additional accounts to help fund the shard, because it would force people to pick and choose which skills were most important to them. You wouldn't have the complete self-sufficiency that you do now. People would be forced to band together and interact with others more. To help the transition go more smoothly, everyone could be given an opportunity to choose which characters and houses would be moved over to their remaining account before the changeover.

I don't see it happening, nor do I think it would be a particularly popular change, but I would be in favor of it.

one of the reasons free shards are great is because we can play every class, we can do everything.

i like multiple accounts personally, and i wouldnt wanna go back to just 1

this one account thing will just lead to crying when people understand some of us have dynamic ip's

Okay so I am glad it's over then...I agree with the majority.
