RE: Allow multiboxing. - Binski - 10-11-2013
arent we all playing this game for personal gain? isnt the point building your chars, and whatever inrp organizations and activities that follow suite? it is actually extremely difficult to make 'billions' starting out as a new char, takes weeks to work up to a transport capable of making even 40 mil a haul, and thats a lot of gameplay in that time. some of you have been playing so long and spinning off your cash you forgot this game can be difficult, which is why there arent as many new players anymore even for a free to play game.
so thats exaclty my point, you should be able to rp and have fun and get access to ships and tech without having to put 6 hours a day 7 days a week in. if you can't keep up too bad, or prefer the slow way, go for it. maybe those people who do spend all those hours the 'fair' way would like the option to do it differently. I know if i had this on the go i'd also have no problem spreading the wealth to those who don't have the same opportunity.

Okay okay, let me get this straight. You want multiboxing because you can't be arsed to earn pixel prizes with just one transport/one fighter/something, like the rest of us

Having someone to interact with every time I log on = personal gain
Getting fulfillment from successfully simultanousely rping 4 different characters = personal gain
Having fun on the server = personal gain
If I wanted to be a "honest trader" - and mind you I have - I'd go get a job that pays actual money. I come here to have fun, not to grind, not to compare ship sizes, not to bitch about people having more pixel money than I do.
But then I guess money- pixel or not- is the only language you lot understand. Why are you here?

Instead, you've posted not one, but two badly thought through ideas that would contribute nothing upon further examination.I never intended for both ops I posted to be inflexible take-it-or-leave-it LAWS- I'm making a SUGGESTION, an incomplete concept that is supposed to be DISCUSSED and IMPROVED, not just blantantly oppressed . But all your reactions is like saying that the original wheel is a bad invention just because the inventor suggested that it be decorated with carvings of flowers, and flowers are gay, therefore the wheel is a bad idea.

Or having the flaws in his arguments pointed out.
So what- you're here to point out the flaws in my "argument"? Is that it? That's your purpose on my thread - just to tell me how stupid I am? Are you participating in the discussion to try to improve the game, or are you here solely for the purpose of rejecting new ideas?
Do you know the meaning of the phrase ad-hominem? We are here to discuss the idea, not the person. And who the hell are you to decide whether or not I respond to logic, based on the few interactions we've had? You don't know me, in fact I don't know you as well. But I can see from the crap you type that you're not here for discussion at all. You're here to troll.
If you don't even try to understand the concepts presented in the op and why they might work, then you have no right to decide whether my idea is bad or not. And now you just trying to bring me down with these personal attacks because obviously that's just what good citizens of the interwebs do - hate.
Now please correct the spelling of my name as per rule 1.7.

People made way too much money in comparison to the honest trader who spent hours getting his cash. The slow version was Simply better because you are more likely to have a RP interaction while doing so. -The whole point of the server in the first place. Bottom line, why? I mean its not that difficult to make billions without multiboxing. And if you can't be bothered putting in the effort in the first place to take the time making that cash without Multiboxing. Why bother at all?
The point of the game is not making billions of an integer value stored on a file in the server - it is flying cool spaceships and roleplaying.
And if you actually took some time to read the OP, you'd see that I put thought into preventing the abuse that you mentioned. And if you think that the rules I came up with are inadequate, then you are welcome to charge it, change it, to improve it.
And to all the people posting "No", or "Stop", or whatever post that doesn't offer a bit of discussion and constructive criticism, it's my turn- just stop. If you can't be bothered to post anything constructive - just don't post it at all. The 5 character limit is there for a reason.

Multiboxing is evil, for testing purposes enhanced with some macros I was able to jump myself with barge while keeping 3th and 4th additional 5k whiles for fuel supply. 2 accounts on my PC 2 accounts on my Laptop.
2 People with the right tools were able to build 1 base level per day. One guy can run 4 5kers and make sturdy 120m per hour, if he have barge and drives he could make 170m per hour- not nice at all.
Harder to implement but better solution would be to use the POB plugins on normal NPC bases where one could rent some space lets say 500-1000 cargo units like safety deposit box. Protected with password and accessible only by list of characters. If you does not pay your rent your stuff goes away.

It would require codding but it is the best thing and creates nice moneysink as well.
Same thing as player bases but for single users.

Are you people on drugs? What interaction do folks speak of? The server is dead.
