    working in tech support in the internet help desk i am aware of the MAC and its use
    yep is very much legal - your MAC address is transmitted openly over the net

    you can mask your IP Address but not your MAC address

    MAC is your unique serial number to your NIC card every computer has one even in a modem on dial up - it ID's your computer on the network and internet

    evertime a user on a computer connects to the internet your ISP will log that information along with the users information

    static ip address users may run into some issues with this system
    once you connect your computer and the system sets it up you are stuck to the MAC address on that comp - if you change comps or add a router you have to either call your ISP for a MAC reset or unplug your modem for 24 hours for the system to clear it before you are able to reconnect to the internet

    Even if he's storin' resources there it'll be absolutely impossible to defend them w/o some kind of protection; 4 prestige does not offer that kinda protection. He's built...all of one cottage?

    If he was multi-accountin' and had six alt's w/ like 500k+ pres, then thas a different story, though...

    How is it different?

    Some people are against having multiple accounts at all.


    It shouldn't matter what you're doing with the accounts, all that matters is you've got more than one account.

    The question I have first off is how many of the players on any particular servers are people with multiple accounts? Are there really that many of them?

    I do think there is a reason to limit the number of accounts you can have on one server but it isn't so much resource and troop sharing as it is people building a powerful alliance, then starting new toons and the same players make a new alliance on the same server. BUild it up make a new alliance and so on. Next thing you know they're using all of their alliances to tag team smaller groups and nobody can fight them. That's what *I* call griefing. Not some kid who just plays two characters on the same server.

    I know of a few alliances on my server who do this because I've infiltrated them and found the same humans playing in multiple alliances doing this. Well, guess what? they just so happen to be the most powerfull on the server.... by far. Go figure that one. They do more damage but harvesting the same players over and over again from multiple alliances than they ever could by sharing a little lumber between themselves. You never get the chance to rebuild and you could be forced to start a second account just to get back into the game. If you think about it, simply causing everybody to shut down second accounts may leave people like that even farther ahead of the people they've been griefing.

    Should be considered before acting.

    Cuz havin' tiny accounts at teh side producin' 1m food a day won't change mch.
    Havin' several accounts each holdin' 500k archers ready to reinforce is a totally different thing.

    As it is it's based entirely on time constraits; those with more time get to achieve more. If they have enough time to focus on several accounts they take this to a whole new level.

    Whereas someone who doesn't have a lot of time to farm every day and is makin' an effort to come close to a competitive scale might have some resource production cities on an alternate account givin' him jus' enough food to get by.

    I don't think multi-accountin' is inherently a bad thing, but it's about the intentions of what you want it for.

It was never our intention to alienate or disenfranchise any players, but to prevent exploitation of the system.

    Just to be clear: it is acceptable for different people to play different accounts on the same computer. It is not acceptable for a single person to play multiple accounts for any reason.

    Thanks to your feedback, we have reached a solution that we think everyone will find acceptable:

    • Multiple players may each play their own account on the same computer.
    • Accounts which are played from the same computer may not reinforce or transport resources to each other.
    • A single player may not use multiple accounts, but may play on one or more servers from the same account.


    Our goal is still to limit the ability to exploit by a single user creating multiple accounts, but we do not want to alienate husband/wife teams or roommates or friends who log on in different locations, etc. It is our goal to make Evony fun, exciting and accessible to all!

    This is how the technical restriction will work. If you have any feedback, suggestions, or comments, please post them here.

    Update:
    Here are some clarifications, based on user questions:

    • This system will not use your IP to determine multi-account status. Multiple users may log on from the same IP, free from any restrictions, as long as they are using their own computers.
    • Accounts will not be automatically banned for multi-accounting. The only thing that our system will do is flag the accounts as being played from the same computer to disallow resource and troop sharing.
    • Single-users who create multiple accounts for the purposes of exploiting the system to gain any type of advantage will still be targeted for bans by administrators. This is cheating.
    • This system will not be intrusive. There will not be spyware/malware installed on your computer. Everything will be done with the Flash framework.
    *thumbs up*

    This looks really good to me.

    I dont have Multable accounts but at times I sign in and check on other alliance Accounts who asked me to. Baby sit as you will. At times this task envolves sending resources to them while signed in there account to make sure things are set up and good to go while they are away.

    If I remember correctly sitting for accounts is also against the rules.

    6. Username and Password.
    During the registration process, you may be required to select a unique username and a password (collectively referred to hereunder as "Login Information"). You may not share the Account or the Login Information with anyone other than as expressly set forth herein.


    So I would be careful about account sitting as you could possibly be penalized.

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it!
