multis are definitely a problem.
maybe we should adopt some sort of zero tolerance policy?
the first step to getting anything changed is to get enough people complaining about it though.
this makes two.
what does everyone else think?
btw, happy holidays.
even to all you multi's.

From our rules section:
# Do not multiplay. Multiplaying is actively using two or more characters. Players using multiple characters will have their accounts suspended indefinately. Penalty: Suspension of all accounts involved in the multiplaying.
Obviously the ONLY way to police this is to manually check logins/IPs by scanning the database. It's much easier to throw up flags and say "hey this guy annoys us, can you moderator types do something about it?" than for us to track down every single multi-account.
Now that doesn't mean we don't check at all, but to be honest, even doing that doesn't PROVE someone is multi-accounting. For all you know, the player(s) in question all live in the same dorm-room and just take turns playing the game. Which is totally allowable at this point.
We realize this is and has bene an issue for a long time. We're working at better systems to come up with dealing with it, and most likely NW2 will be better equipped to deal with this sort of thing.

I'm sure tons of people hate multi, I despise it myself. Though suavisimo has a point, its very hard to track down multis without being dreadfully mean to others; some people may use the same computer at the library to log on or perhaps siblings, or people working on the same network at work. Though I do have a suggestion; voice out your dislike for them, not in a horrid way, just get your point across and not waver. Maybe if enough members have a firm dislike of multi people, the next one to be will think twice about doing it. Pressuring people about how much you dislike it can make them admit to it so the mods can stop it, worked before at least! Plus I think if you like the game, you wouldn't even think about doing it

noobie, please signup to start a new thread and ask this question. The answer is that it should have been immediate, if you still have problems, post again, and we'll look into it.

Yep, that's changed more recently, so now, a name used is a name used, yah can't get 'em back. By the same token, however, you can make sure that no-one else is ever going to use a name that you used, even if you then deleted your ninja.

If you delete a character, email can be used again. Jus' not the name, and not while the email is still on a character that's not deleted.

u know how you guys check the domain when looking at your own chars stats, make it so that it checks the domain for existing accounts whenever some one tries to create one. If one exists, then dont let them create another character, else let them play =).

There are a lot of players with legit duplicate IPs, mostly coming from certain ISPs, and especially ones from the UK, for some reason.

Still doesn't solve the problem of college campuses, or roommates who share one computer.
NW2 will likely have both monitoring of local information as well as some type of behavior monitoring as well. Even still, there's no guarantee we can catch every multi-player.

GlowSticks isn't a multi, his account got deleted. Like, three times. And Linker5550 and I go to the same school, just a forewarning that me and him are sometimes right next to each other in our computer class, and sometimes he goes down to the local LAN, and plays there.
