Title: Number of character per account??
Post by: Cyonamie on April 14, 2002, 04:25:12 pm

I know this has been brought up, but never its been answered, how many characters per account?

someone make a new poll with a vote, or atleast answer it?

my though is, that htere should be 4 characters at a time, this way, u can have 1 human 1 elf 1 dwarf and 1 other, it could just be a simple text message that says:

Cyonamie-Dermorian Level: 76 |Location: 1st Level Yliakum-- Select Character ---Delete Character---Log Off
Bryan-Klyros Level: 23 |Location: Stone Labyrinths
Select Character ---Delete Character---Log Off

and so on, of course the lvl thing would say sometihng like N/A until combat is released but, it would just be a simple way to show a character quickly.

hmmmm maybe, but if you could have all these different characters, what would be the point of having good or bad?  Someone could just have their good char and their evil characteer.  Or I know a few people have brought up the idea of race wars, but that would be pointless if a dwarf was also a elf and a human.  It would be pretty stupid to limit to 1 char a person, so maybe you could choose a type(human, dwarf, elf, other) adn then make 4 of those type.  Like you could have 4 human characters, or 4 elves, or 4 of the other. Just a thought.

Well think of it realistically.  Are u really gonna konw what its like to be a bunch of people. Doesnt that seem just a little strange to you.  U cant get around the fact that that would compeltely screw up any race war or alignments. Everybody would be neutral and the same, woohoo......doesnt that just seem kinda boring

Well it prolly doesnt matter, cause if the demo is coming out really soon, then they prolly already figured that out

Having multiple accounts only makes ppl all the more want to cheat. I support 1 character per account

For the demo there is one userid/password per character, but this will probably change in future releases.

see what i\'m thinkin is being able to have like only 2 chars. but with each you can\'t tell who the person is. like say i had a dwarf and a human. and i logged on a my human and talked to you. then logged off and got onto my dwarf and then you saw my dwarf, you wouldn\'t be able to tell if it was me or not, then the race wars would still be able to go on i think, i\'m not sure how clear this is, so if any clearance is needed just say so. i\'ll find some other way to explain it

Actually, I should clarify one thing:

There is one player per account, but you can create as many accounts as you want.  In fact, accounts are created automatically in the demo release each time you create a new player.  Each player needs to have its own unique name and password and then you can go crazy.

Of course, there are only 3 races atm and one face per head, so experimentation is going to get boring pretty quickly. :-)
