Multiple Accounts

[Ziggy]

I don't have one now, but I am considering it to have a pure crafter. I am waiting to see if it is something I truly want to do since it is $40 + 15 a month down the road. However, if Jooky keeps up the good work he can have his 30 bucks a month from me.

It may be giving an advantage to those players but they are contributing twice or triple the amount to the games profits and development while not using a proportionate amount of server resources (most aren't playing all their account at the same time).

So in ways they are beneficial to all. Obviously it can be exploited to some extent but I don't think most who have multiple account use it for nefarious reasons.

Quite some people will have more than one account, it's the nature of the beast.

Competitive players will be using all means they have to get a competitive edge, amongst these means will be multi-accounting and multi-boxing. Personally I consider it as a from of cheating but of course I'm aware that it isn't cheating in the sense of violating the ToS.

We will see how it pans out: I assume there will be a lot of homesteads in the game that are placeholders for alt accounts. I also wouldn't be surprised to see tribes forming "alt-tribes" to cover more resources.

Narrow minded of ya' to think that multi-boxing is cheating...

A lot depends on how stat/skill decay will be implemented. I have heard quite a few different opinions on "how it will actually work", but nobody really knows at this point, it seems.

If the decay is fast, it will mean constantly "grinding" the skills/stats that you want to keep as your main focus on a character. That could become tiresome if you have more than 1 account.

It could also mean that having an alt account that is not used constantly will lose all it's stat/skill progression after a while.

A high-skilled crafter would have to make and destroy items, not because someone needs these items, but simply to maintain his skills, for instance.

Decay isn't going happen while you're offline.

I've got two accounts and my wife has one. Two run same time on mine. Super helpful for tools and recipes, also provided a tank.

1 is enough. you have to live with what you got.

every body else is just the typical carebear and exploiter.

paying money to get an edge with your pvp alt over others? be ashamed

Won't get another account until new skills get released. I can see me wanting one character to be my explorer/scout type of character and another character to be my farmer or musician or something. It's more a role playing thing for me (even though I don't hardcore RP).

Multiple accounts diminish the entire idea behind Xsyon, imo. This game is unique in these sense that you're allowed one character, and that character is you. Obviously, you can't do everything, so this forces you to interact, steal, borrow, & barter. When you introduce multiple accounts and self-sufficiency, were playing Farmville with radiation.

Xinnia (my character) is not me, there again I'm not really Delvie. Hmmm I wonder how many of us are really us.

Then why did they make it so you can log in twice from the same box?

why did they make it so there is unplayable lag every day at primetime?
