Apparently these salad tossers never thought that people would buy two accounts just to simply SPY!! The only thing "One" character per account does is support their business model of forcing more unit sales and a higher "inflated" subscription base once they get ready to offload this game.





No offense intended here, but how are they going to enforce that people are only playing as one character?

Track IP's and ban people who use multiple accounts from the same IP? What about people who live together and want to play seperate characters?

No users from the same email address or physical address? It's easy to create alternate emails and again, if there's like 2-3 people living in a house in college, they have to share one character?


I think this is the best way to go about it... sure, some people will still try to cheat, but how is that different from any other MMORPG? It's up to guilds to screen their members, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.




By one Character per account, they mean "You get one toon per account" if you want multiple toons then you have to have multiple accounts. You can have as many accounts as you like, but your only ever going to get one toon at a time on each account.

As a business model, this makes sense. It forces those of us who two box, or like a mixture of race/skills to purchase a second unit, and pay for a second monthly nut. All of this drives up the "Unique Accounts" statistics, skewing the numbers in favor of the company to have a larger player base then they actually do. This should allow them to garner a higher resale price of the client to the likes of SoE or some company to that effect.
