Should multiple connections be allowed?
Yes, for say.. $10 a month, let them connect a second time with the same address.

No, just block those extra connections. They'll just have to take turns.

I will review this issue again soon. The votes do look in good support of the option.

If I may I'd like to make a suggestion of a possible way to police this.

With my current setup that I have at home to get around the issue of multiple characters, my wife and I both log-in using the same IP address, however, each of our characters are distinguished by different personal details and Credit Card accounts and details.

Even though this would not be a fool proof solution it would give a minimum check to run.

Having this type of setup has saved my behind on numerous occasions with DR - in that my other half was busted for AFK scripting and they locked out both our characters (being on the same IP address).

However after some consultation I was able to prove that my characters, being on a seperate account, with different emails, Credit Card numbers/details and personal details should not have been locked out and after investigation by Slimeutronics they found that the only commonality was the IP address.

The other point I argued with one IP address (and multiple characters) was that if 5 people worked in the same company and one person was caught AFK scripting would they lock out the other 4 people as well? THis helped sway the logic my way with more than one person having the same IP address and that further checks needed to be done instead of just using one field.

Unfortunately, we do not possess nor plan to acquire a merchant account any time in the near future. This means we're unable to verify or charge to credit cards. We'll probably utilize PayPal for any charges, even when the game goes "live". At some point we will transition to a merchant account based system, but not for a while.

Hmmm, okay, can see where that will present a problem.

Thanks for the reply
