Suggestion that will help to end account sharing

I don't know if this has been suggested before, but I thought of a way that would help prevent account sharing. It would not completely STOP it, but it would make it harder to do.

Allow an account to only connect to one server at a time. Meaning no multiple online graal windows open at once, no people sharing one account to play multiple servers at once. Like I said, sharing wouldn't stop this way but it would discourage it.

But you don't HAVE to be. Besides, I'm sure some sort of exception could be made for RCs.

I dont think that will happen. i think this suggestion is retarded. I sit and gain hours on like 3 servers at a time. I just press reconnect when im disconnected for not moving. As long as it's your IP and your the one using it you should be fine. Afterall it's your account and it says Classic for lifetime not Classic for a certain time designatied to 1 server at a time.

What a re-re.

Anyway - just stop people from connecting to any two servers from two different IPs. Easy. You don't need to sweat them coming from the same IP.

That's what I was getting at. I should have been more specific.

But only allowing a account to connect from one IP, that would screw me up. I like to play Graal from friend's houses.

You could still do that if you didn't share.

As long as nobody is on graal with your account from another ip you will be able to get on.
