Thread: Sharing login info

    Thumbs down Sharing login info

    Hi,
    for the last few weeks we have been trying to take some historical city from other players. Unfortunately, we failed.
    Aas we all know, taking a city while the player is online is almost impossible cause he can pray, use speach text, etc.
    I'm ok with that but unfortunately, it looks like some players manage to not sleep for days or people share login info with others to keep a 24/7 watch.

    Is Evony looking for multiple account problems at all? Multiple account problems can be solved with a simple script. since it has not been implented yet, I was wondering, how serious that "no multiple account" rule is?

    I don't mind losing because I am not able to find a way to break the enemy but I do mind losing for because people share account to keep a watch 24/7 and use free gift from FB (speach text) to hold their cities eternally.

    Thanks for looking into this

    This problem has be around since the beginning of Evony, don't expect anything to be done about it.

    Just a point of semantics: You are describing account sharing, not multi-accounting.

    Account Sharing - More than one person logging in to an account so the account is "online" more often than a player who fights fair. Many players, one account
    Multi-Accounting - One player owning more than on lord on the same server by creating multiple logins. Many accounts, one player

    Both problems are issues that need to be dealt with. Most people that do one, likely do the other. But, they are still separate terms, meaning different things. They are 2 of the 3 largest forms of cheating in Evony (the third is botting, of course).



    Note: I'm sorry for sounding nitpicky, I just want to avoid confusion of people reading. Multi-accounting and account sharing are different crimes. (But, BOTH are still cheating)

    I don't even understand the question.

    I mean sharing accounts.
    Evony must face the fact that they created new rules with Age2. we can afford to not be able to take a city sometimes but Historical cities are something else. who ever own them has a major impact on a province. Not being able to take them is now a huge problem. Plus, if you think that evony made Speech Text available for free on FB, well, they made the problem even worst instead of trying to help it.

    Yeah, historical city owners often share accounts so the historical can be defended 24x7. That is really hard to stop, if not impossible. So the only solution is to make the cooldown time on praying and speech texts 2 hours.

    Based on that, if someone prays (+25) at loyalty of 1 (then 26), 3 cavalry hits will take it down to 14 (26 - 12), and with a 6-minute countdown, that means that someone could only comfort one time if the cav hits are done fast enough (within 120 - 84, or 36 minutes).

    Now, if you want to allow other comforting, then this isn't a problem, but if you meant a limit on any kind of comforting for 2 hours, then that will set up situations where the defender is helpless to stop a strong attacker / group of attackers from taking their city, Historical or otherwise...

    Default Solution to Account Sharing

    Evony, please read this. Thanks.
    In Age II historical city owners often share accounts so the historical can be defended 24x7 and speech texts and praying applied constantly around the clock making the HC uncapturable. That is really hard to stop, if not impossible. So the only solution is to make the cooldown time on praying and speech texts 2 hours. If you make that change then that will solve things. Thanks in advance.

    2hours...That would affect legitimate players and people would still account share.
