2 Character on 1 Account

[Madmartigan]

We obviously had a few unrealistic dreams of MO2. Right. One server and all that.

Do I really have to have two stream accounts to have a second character. I am already bored with just playing one over and over. I would like to be able to play more then one style of the game without many accounts.

I get the idea. Having a huge time like 48hrs between character use to limit exploiting/bots/ect...

The current system promotes the hardcore to have multi accounts and to bring all characters on at once for that advantage. The reason 2 characters on one account is to limit the two character multi-boxing that the 1 character per account promotes heavily.

Join me - MO1 had 4 character slots for 1 accounts - with the new points/crafting system I think the game should allow 2 characters per account.

i agree

i would rather simply pay 40 bucks for a second slot than have to monkey fk around with multiple acounts

[The_Daleatron]

yea and then you have to pay multiple subscriptions when they bring in the sub, they need to add more slots for characters. But this game is so absurdly bug ridden i suspect they only have one for a reason. Example being when i deleted my character my horse and all it had showed up on my new character, anything i had sold or had in stables was also there on my new character, so they must have some god awful set up there that if we had more than 1 character it would dupe all our other characters items in stables and markets.Something is up.

Totally agree!

SV might be bad at programming and running an MMO, but they are not stupid.

They know that only a few hundred players will be playing this game once they start charging the sub fee, so they need the most income they can get from those people.

And those same people who are willing to tolerate MO2 as it stands, will pay for additional accts, if there are not enough players to craft everything and store everything.

So SV will never allow multiple toons per acct, because that would cost them the money they would otherwise get from charging for alts.

this is how they milk money out of you dont you get it?

[Sir Ippo]

I think we will get 2 characters on one account in the future. They will be focusing on more bigger issues at the moment.

Why are you even posting this SV already confirmed there will be a second char slot in the future.

Yea not to mention multi-boxing is easy AF now with GeForce now.

[cuolshan]

So you are saying instead of having 2 accounts with 1 character each and paying 2 subs a month, you would rather have 1 account with 2 characters and pay 1 sub a month

I wonder what a business would want, more money monthly or less money monthly?

I mean we all want hookers and blow for free, but why would anyone supply it for free, what would they get out of it?

if you could have more chars on one account, how could they force you to buy a second account for a second char?

they need the gil

Got any source for that? Because on Henriks last stream this came up and he did not say that was the intention, however he did mention that we might get to play around in Haven to try out different builds etc.

hopefully multi-boxers will not be tolerated. that's something that should never exist is mmorpgs. the one character per account approach is the best imo. these are rpgs. they aren't farming simulators for multiboxers. they aren't meant to be games where everyone has a character that does everything and therefore there is no need to ever interact with other players. it's meant to be that you create a character and play it. the limitations it has are part of the character. you interect with other players who can help with those limitations because their character can do something yours can't. it's the best system and i couldn't support the devs vision of it and basically everything else in this game more than i do.

Of course there wont be any consequences for having more than one account. Everything is build arround the "hardcore" fanbase. And so they can sell more then one subscription per player.
