Time to acquire some goldfish to pretty up the game until either Ender or Kandarim update the clients.

Ender has been keeping up in the alpha channel. He will probably fix his client after the wipe.

How would you go about doing this?


Inb4 IPs

Truth is you can't limit. Game like Travian and others do their best to block multiaccounting, but they can't get them all. There is still tons of cheating going on there, and they have a lot of back end server resources to help monitor this stuff. So if a few can get around it, does that really make it fair for others, especially when the gains can be so few? Maybe one day Seatribe will get big enough that they can afford to develop tools to effectively monitor this and ban accounts, but it won't be any time soon.

Even with the "nerfed" permadeath feature, if you lose a character here, that's still a ton of grinding that has to be done to get a character back up to where you need it to be at. The only games I know of right now with "true" permadeath are rogue-likes.

(why do I feel I've typed this a 100 times?)

This isn't haven. There's some nice tools in the mods, but nothing absolutely necessary to play, like a big screen or item radar or.... ;) I think we can all suffer for a few days. (I bet it won't be 24-48 hours)
I am a moderator. I moderate stuff. When I do, I write in this color.

Seriously, if you guys haven't played with the basic client recently, give it a go for a day or three, read up on the commands (gah... I think I haven't updated that post in a while) and give some feedback. Loftar finally listened about the camera.

Most people would like to explore and map right off the bat. I for one would love to get that out of the way first and foremost, and can't really do that with the default client :( I'm also too lazy to scribble down maps on paper, as cool as that'd be.

Blocking multiple connections from one IP sucks. Companies who do that end up losing out on subscriptions or cash shop sales in the long run, since - I know this is inconceivable - sometimes multiple people in one household *gasp* play games together.

From one house.

Which means the same IP for multiple logins.

And using a proxy defeats this, anyway. There are free proxy services available, that take basically no tech skills to use.
