[dev] Warning! Do not use multiple accounts to transfer EPs! *** READ NOW ***

[Zeras]

We have warned everyone not to do this in the past. We also warned that at some point, we would start dealing with it and that time is very close.

Fortunately, we have a very detailed logging system that has been tracking every single auction thoroughly. This will make it easy for us to see which players have been using multiple accounts to push money to their main accounts.

We will then begin banning those accounts that have been doing this.

Also note .. no PM's will be replied to regarding this situation so please do not send them to the staff!

I trust this logging system can differentiate family member accounts bidding on other family member accounts from the same computer where applicable.

dont cheat and do multiple accounts:)

[Karmagasm]

uh...i wasn't talking about myself. :U

Yes, we have the ability to distinguish between those situations.

What about playing two completely different characters. For no other purpose than playing two characters?

[Olaf the Damned]

Yes, we have the ability to distinguish between those situations.

There are 4 accounts on my IP(s) (two at the office, two at home) with a co-worker and two nephews that play once in a while but I have no idea what they're doing as far as the market or play goes. They all have free accounts and don't have alot of EP's but i don't watch over them as they play. I can't determine if they ever bid on my stuff or not. I only know of one being used much at all, not sure about the other ones. Since i set them up initially with my email/IP's could that be a problem?
:confused:

We are not concerned with players who play multiple accounts independently of each other such as what happens when families play.

We are referring to players who push items and everpoints between multiple accounts that they are playing.

I have a question about this. I also have multiple accounts but have not been able to sell/buy anything yet (I'm new). If one of my characters in a battle finds an item that one of my other characters can use sell it to them through auction (legally)? I really enjoy this game and don't want to do something to get banned.

[Eve]

It would be very wise to not call attention to yourself by selling items between your characters, even if rarely.

Thank You For Doing This

I also have multiple accounts from my IP address but they are my 3 neighbors (using wireless) & Sister & my daughter.

I can't control what they bid on because I have no Idea who is bidding on my auctions because you don't show who is bidding.

So are you saying that if 1 of the people on my Wireless account bids on 1 of my Auctions, That I will be banned?

Like I have said in other posts....I now only play this game on-line but if I get banned because of someone else that I know bids on my auctions, I feel that this is not fair because I don't know what they are doing.

[sparkyd]

Just to be on the safe side, you might want to ask them not to bid on your items.

[outdoornut61]

I have asked them but they always get out bid by someone else on Items up for bid. I have no Idea who bids on my Items except I have made it very clear to the people in my Home not to bid on my items.

[sparkyd]

My wife as well as my nieces all play (at least occasionally) and they have all been asked to not bid on my items. It would truly irritate me to be banned for something like that, although I understand why that rule is in place.

[condorhero2]

Theres no need to go on multiple accounts because the game keeps you highly entertained just on one account, so it really is unnesaccary.:) i love this game.

[mrbarf]

Just a question, if you are now banning people who are abusing the system of auctioning, would u b able 2 lower the amount of battles needed 2 auction? as a new player it is annoying having unwanted items that are worth alot in auctions but very little otherwise.rather then unallowing players 2 acces auctions untill they reach the qouta(100 battles? or wins? or leveling to level 2) you could cut i down 2 about 50 battle wins, as it still would take a while 2 acheive this, also it would create more potential buyers and sellers in the auctions. just a thought...:rolleyes:

[Eve]

The amount of battles necessary will remain where it is, as this is one of our precautions.
