Badidol seemed open to having a server where you're only allowed one account but it would be hard to enforce on those who don't already follow the ip share rules.
The multi account situation was largely caused by GF opening so many servers and then folding them up because of lack of population however.
BTW that rule is not new it's been in effect for quite a long time.
One account per server. Period.
That's not so simple as it has been allowed to have 11 accounts per server already for a long time and you cannot just force people to delete their accounts because of a sudden rule change.
I'm not saying to delete, I'm saying to move their accounts to other servers. Their main ones won't suffer any harm, but the others which are used as banks, donations, will be on other servers. Like I said, 90% of the accounts are bankers, what about caring for those who play fair like me?
The problem is they closed so many servers that it's impossible to have all your accounts in one community if you have 11 accounts.
Like Draxo said, it's not that simple.. and the servers that remain you can't transfer to because of the top 50 rule on transfers.
you can't for example plunk down a 20m account in a 6 month old server.
the best solution at this point would be opening a new server, suspend the top 50 rule but have no IP shares on that server... although that's not perfect because only the honest players who played by the multi ip sharing rules would be affected.
but it's the best you could do without some sort of RL identification verification process that I doubt anyone would tolerate over a game.
Sounds like you're a returning player cause we been dealing with a steady worsening situation for years, what you're saying isn't news.
One account per server. Period. That's my honest opinion. Otherwise you'll always be in disadvantage for following the rules. That's like real life, and I'm not interested in it.
No, you won't. You can also get 11 accounts, too, and do the same thing.
If the rule is 11 accounts per server and you don't have 11 accounts? You aren't playing optimally.
If you only want 1 account per server, there's the test realm. As a bonus, you also can't buy ambro there.

Not everybody has the same time as a player who has 11 accounts! I understand that GO had good intention to create such thing for those who have more time, but players took this alt stuff too far! Like I said above, I can't even attack an alt, otherwise the main player attacks me. What's the point of this game, then? This is a strategy game, scarcity makes the game interesting.

I'm not a returning player, I just can't seat here quiet while big players have lots of banks. With all due respect, there are stupid rules about what you can or cannot do, but having an alt and selling army and resources to the main player are allowed! Your suggestion is good, I'm not oversimplifying, I'm just telling you guys to consider changing the rules regarding alts.

With a properly setup alt account you're not spending much time at all on it. You're logging in, donating, then logging out. More if you're ambitious.
It does take time to setup, but you aren't using your alt account for raiding, etc.

any fleet contact between your accounts is expressly forbidden, big alliances often have more than 1 bank so that they can sell to each other without breaking the rules.
Does that mean there aren't players out there breaking the rules by having fleet contact between their accounts? OH YES.. and there is nothing GF can do about that because if they knew about it those accounts get banned the fact they're getting away with it means they can't stop it because they can't detect or prove it's going on with a particular account.

That's what I'm worried about.
Again i don't think that playing with more than 1 account on server is by itself bad, as long as you are not abusing it. IP sharing treaties are quite strict with what you can do (no trading, no fleet or army contact, no spying same target i think). the real problems are people who do not play by the rules and circumvent those rules by using VPNs or other ways of masking IP your address.
Even if there was no multi account server those scummy people would still exist, since GF seems to be unable (or unwilling) to track them down and ban them
That's my point. If people had more integrity, it would be fun to play. But 90% of players are banks, which means 90% of players use these tactics for their own benefit. Who are the clowns in this game? The ones who play fair like me and the GOs for not being able to detect such activity.
I hear you and it is frustrating. I saw a new take the other day, a 6 million point player under godly protection with only one level 6 town. it has fully developed buildings at level 40 or higher except it has no tavern or museum so i take it that it survives by pirate points and is manipulated by illegal multis.We now have people wandering around with half a million gen scores and a billion gold and almost all new players under a million points cant survive and are dropping like flys. So it's only a matter of time before the server we were all forced to move to has the same bleak numbers as the one we left. A small fix would be to make it so guys coming out of v.mode cant sell military for 24 hours. That's a simple solution to the multi and gen bank problem but for some reason only the honest players think it's a solution to the problem.

Multi accounting can work if the no vpn rule was still enforced as then if you are not ip shared you will get a ban.

This suggestion will fix it for sure , I hope GF will implement it.

We have been asking for it to be implemented for years. A simple fix to a massive problem.

No wonder 4 of my mates left the game. If things keep up this way, I may leave the game too
Ya this godly protection piracy scam is something else.
