Thread: multi accounting punished or not?

    Sorry to keep bumping this but the subject is in dire need of a staff response. Dawnseeker just posted in another thread that yes, it's against the rules, but still no word in a month or more as to whether or not it's actually going to be enforced or if anyone has actually been banned for it. We need to know as there are severe exploits associated with multiaccounting, and not a lot of options when fighting people who do it other than to leave or do it yourself. There are only a few reports on the harassment board per day and certainly it cannot take long to IP check and ban a dozen people per day, and once it starts being enforced then alot will stop doing it.

    Agreed, I'm also tired of the countless threads with no staff response. They seem to respond to problems which affect their revenue most of the time. At this continued rate a lot more people are going to have a problem with Evony.

    Unfortunately I don't have the link. Evony has stated that if you have two or more people playing from the same IP, you need to write them so as they don't "ban" you for multi-accounting etc.

    On another note...

    BUMP!

    No one has been banned and no one will be banned so long as the perp can just say, "But it's my sister/brother/wife/girlfriend/sex buddy's account!"

    The rules clearly state that accounts from the same IP must be registered and confirmed by evony before using them, and that they are not allowed to have military contact, ie be in the same alliance, and presumably coordinate attacks on the same people. Most of the people reported on the harassment board are in the same alliance, and blatantly doing it.

    I repeat my previous statement.

    "But, but, but, I didn't know about the rule! I never go on the forum, how am I supposed to know? Don't delete my sister/brother/wife/girlfriend/sex partner's account!"

    If Evony actually does punish anyone for it, which I really, really doubt they will, then they'll look like the bad guys for deleting someone's account who didn't "know" about the rule.

    But then again, Evony has never had any qualms about being the bad guy in the past...

    EDIT: And that also brings up the point, there's no way of finding and reading the rules unless you go on the forum. And even then you have to look at the "Game" forum and find them under one of the 9 stickied threads and almost 40 threads in the section. You really have to be looking for them to find em.
    That makes me say that it's not fair to enforce the rules on players unless you make them read them first. A mail with the complete list of rules as one of your beginning mails would probably be a good idea.

    And whose fault is that for not reading the rules? What would you rather have, severe abuse and exploiting from people who can crank out anywhere from two to ten times the armies of a regular player per day, or moderate restrictions on people connecting from the same network? Hell, I multiaccount on other games like everquest and WoW that allow it, mostly for PvE, and where it is legal, and mainly for group content and to lessen the hassle of finding the exact class at the exact time for the exact quest you need and not spending 2 hours LFG and 6 hours LFG for people that aren't idiots. I had no problem discerning that it was not legal here and the obvious reasons why, before I even started to play the game. Anyway, this isn't a discussion about whether or not it should be punished, it's a discussion about whether or not it will be punished, because a lot of us are waiting for this answer as we are right now handicapped against players that do it by our own foolish notions of following the rules.

    Edit - maybe they can restate it or move it to a more visible part of the forum, but it's still the players' responsibility to read a game's rules before playing it.
