Poll: Multi Clienting

[BobDobbs]

Hey, let's take this era-accuracy to its logical conclusion:

No one should be able to play on UOSA without installing UO from a retail CD.

Perhaps I should make a poll.

[DrFaustus]

Seriously, get off me. I really haven't done anything to you, ever. You are arguing with no one here on a topic that even derrick said can never happen , early in the thread.

At this point you are just instigating. So just get off it.

Get off what?

You're the one that keeps replying...get out of the thread? So far you've added nothing to either side, other than "it'll never happen".

Stop letting your emotions boil into other threads...especially ones about ideas that would completely restructure the shard.

That's what you added to the thread. That and "you'll make us all leave if it happens" in like 5 posts.

And once again you come back with more mindless blather.

I'm also going to deem you insane. UOSA is starting to resemble and asylum more than a freeshard.

You are a bother....i have said 2 words to you in months and suddenly you are name calling and smacking down anyone that has a opinion that differs from yours.

When you feel this way due to the information I have provided I suppose I have pretty critical points.

Yes, lets change the shard anyways.

I would hope you people could consider being a little more conservative with over 2 years of development at stake.

White Knightism is old and crusty.

Should just quit while you're ahead.

Another /facepalm statement.

It appears hardly anyone here truly understands the seriousness of what's being debated. I can't keep arguing with people who fail to understand how much of a "change" you're asking for. This isn't a patch that fixes how coconuts stack people.

This change redefines second age.

REDEFINES IT.

A: You're trolling for the sake of getting your post count up or something? Or maybe you're just incapable of reading proper English.
B: If you had bothered to read what I put instead of going into defensive troll mode, you would have read that I do not support the idea being posted. Hardly a /facepalm statement.
C: The only one who seems to misunderstand half of the arguments being made here is you. Yes, it would be a major change if it was ever implemented, but it wouldn't be the end-all of UOSA. Sure, people would be mad and leave, but others would come and simply accept it for what it is. That is all I was saying.
D: To further the argument at hand, 99.9% of people in T2A era got along just fine with a single client per computer because EA had prevented multi-clienting and most people didn't know how to fix it so you could run more than a single client on a computer, so your argument really holds no weight.

In any event, the whole thing is irrelevant because it's not going to change. It's a single person who is pretty much suggesting this change so you're getting all bent out of shape for nothing. Take a deep breath and have a drink. The UOSA world isn't going to implode because of a single persons frivolous idea.

I read what you said in both statements, and again you failed to understand my point(s).

You shrug it off like it's "no big deal" as does almost everyone else in this thread.

You all are apparently falling back on the idea that this is NEVER going to happen. Okay, sure, but lets keep it that way?

Everyone was "fine" with it because that's how it was from the beginning, so don't bring that up.

No one under the age of 1.5 years is allowed to discuss this topic anymore.

*Open's a window and lets some air out of the room*

Stanky.

Multi Account's were possible in era, no one is refuting this. Multi clienting however was not possible in era and would probably have been deemed far more illegal then any unattended macroing if it happened.

No, a poll is not going to change anything, but at the very least is promotes discussion on a subject that at least one member of the community see's as important.

Trolling is useless and show's how dumb a person can be. Please don't troll.

[DrFaustus]

Promoting discussion on something that the community agrees isn't ever going to happen?

Sounds stimulating.

Allow me to approach this from the other side. Or at least the other majority (currently leading the poll).

I am only allowed one client.

Damn this shard is accurate.

This feels like it did in era!!!

Wait, why is everyone already 15 x 7x GM? Why does everyone have millions more than me? Why does everyone have far more rares/weapons/developed playstyle than me?

Wait, everyone else was allowed 3 clients? This sucks, I quit.

Meanwhile back in the land of those who wanted it to remain as is....

Oh wait 20% of them left...or don't play nearly as much anymore.

New players will come in, take a look around, and leave.

[Roser]

Faustus you seem to treat Single clienting as a fundamentalist christian mother would treat a KISS album.

"It's the Devil"

You sound like a donkey when you speak for the entire "community".

Multi-Clienting allows you to macro 3 character's at once.... this is helpful to build character's. You do however need to be a somewhat established player to be able to afford macroing 3 characters at once.

It would be hard to find evidence that multi-clienting assist's in rare/weapon collecting and/or becoming a millionaire.

I don't buy your hypothetical scenario Faustus... I think there is much more to consider. You still seem to be focusing on a over night type change, which yes I agree would be damaging.

[Sandro]

allowing 1 acct per IP would be fine assuming it was that way from the start, not now after my accounts are 1000+ days old

what Doc is saying is that this would completely deter new players from joining if everyone else had 3 accounts for 2 years, but now suddenly new players have to start fresh w/ only 1 account

They don't understand that.

Don't try.

You don't have to buy anything...

I'm evidence enough...

This is how this thread makes me feel inside
