"Shadow" Accounts
Posted: Tue Apr 09, 2013 8:51 pm
Recently jailbroken phones have become a huge problem with people creating multiple accounts (sometimes dozens if not more) simply to trade coins for treasure and resell at minimum to their 'main' account on that server. This is filling up the map with empty shadow accounts and severely limiting the number of active people on any server. These are also the same people who server jump to new servers as soon as they come out, abandoning their previous accounts which they worked SO HARD on building up through cheating these multiple accounts. This results in servers have fewer active players much sooner than they used to and the overall game experience diminishing. What can be done about this if anything...? Perhaps require email verification before creating account? Some other way of limiting accounts per device that can be implemented? Obviously some of these things wont completely fix the problem, but perhaps could help offset it some...?
