Title: hmmm..something other games dont
Post by: cloudZX3R on January 03, 2003, 06:02:31 am

Well in some games its really easy to character share. This should be one of the PS rules later on. Because character sharing gives a better advantage to those who share and the small guys always get crushed.

This really isnt fair for me since i dont share(i dont trust anyone) but some people have friend around the world so the chars virtualy can be on 24/7. Will PS prevent character sharing from happening?

No, it is imposible to stop them. They can try, but wont suceed, You can\'t go by IP because IPs change all the time. You can\'t go by their PC, what if they get a new one or have two houses or something. Other then those it\'s pretty impossible.

Solution:  Get rid of your life and be on 24/7

isn\'t the main point of char sharing to reduce/share the price of a per month system?  i can see the occasional groups doing it, but they will just get stronger FASTER, it\'s not going to give them any special abilities or anything, there will always be stronger and weaker people, it\'s just the way it is.  besides, how would they \'crush\' you, no PvP, remember?  actually, that could be an interesting challenge, trying to have more than one person trying to play the same role....

As long as the game stay free, and it will. Charing a character would be stupid as I see it. Why would you want to do that ? Your own character is much  nicer. The problem, again as I see it will be stopping people form having 10 + characters and helping themself out. But I guess this as been discussed in some previous thread.

Macros do suck. I always got bored of assiging a macro to everything in Ultima. I would prefer a system where instead of having to manualy mine, you would e able to set a certain time that you would mine and your character would mine for that time. Naturally you couldn\'t set this to 12 hours or something to prevent AFK. Maybe 2 minutes at most.

Or are you talking about outside macros? May they rot in hell forever!
