How to cheat other players with an alt

[Nykolai Raskaniov]

Yes, I just started playing alt and like her a lot. It gives me a chance to stretch my creativity.

That is exactly what alts are for.

As a GM I cannot moderate that kind of behaviour because it is not disruptive to the game, but as a player I strongly disagree with wasting other people's time when you already know how to play.

You get nothing with people knowing who is in your guild, at least in PlaneShift.

And alts are necessary, unless you want to rp a supercharacter who is a magician, a blacksmither, a miner, a warrior, a melee-master, an axe master, etc.

I strongly disagree with the idea that your character must get skills on everything, therefore, alts are needed.

Problem is that you really can't ban alts. I mean atm I'm playing no longer using my first character as my main, but that doesn't mean I want to lose my old chars. I still play them just a lot less. Also I don't always feel like roleplaying the same character and like to roleplay someone else just to try it out from the other side so to speak.

Guildspying however should definately be banned using alts. If you want a spy in someone elses guild get someone else to join the guild and then pass you the info. Shouldn't be to hard to find someone willing. Roleplay the asking and the passing of information (not group). Giving others the chance to catch you is part of the fun. or it should be .

Few people actually use them for spying. Seriously, what is the point in 'spying'? Guilds don't really mean anything anyways.

But, I agree that pretending to be a new player is a lame way to get stuff.
