A ton of accounts locked by the GameMaster
« Topic Start: July 17, 2011, 06:44:37 AM »
It looks like 7 Arcaean player accounts have been locked by the GameMaster. I'm not about to go through every single player account in the Far East, but one Arcachon and one Arcachon/Zonasa account have also been locked. What's the deal? There can't be that many multis, surely.

Alright, obviously I'm more bored than I thought.

Accounts locked by realm:

Arcachon: 1
Arcaea: 8
C'thonia: 0
Cathay: 0
Greater Aenilia: 0
Kindara: 0
Ohnar West: 2
Zonasa: 0

Accounts with 2 characters in different Far East Realms (not included in above stats):

Arcachon/Zonasa: 1
Cathay/Greater Aenilia: 1

That's a hell of a lot of multis...

There have been quite a number of multis racking up.  Tom must have gotten around to clearing through the backlog.

I've never understood the reason people feel the need to cheat in a free game...

The same reason people cheat in a paid game: to get an advantage.

Not always true. Some are just so addicted to the game that 3-4 characters isn't enough for them.

This use to be true for me(I only have one new account now, old ones are gone). A long time ago I just wanted to experience everything there was for BM so I had three accounts spread out on different continents. I also didn't have enough time in a day to log in enough to make full use of my characters. So when ever I got a chance to play I wanted to get a massive dosage of BM. I think I only had one realm with two characters.

Only three? I had twenty-five  ??? Granted, that was over the course of three years... I think I had 3-4 active ones tops at any moment.

This is truly frustrating. Cheating not only eventually leads to your own characters being banned, but also ruins the experience for everyone else in the realm. I've been in PeL basically since I started a few months ago, and love playing there. But now we've lost half our army and it makes me feel like my whole time there has been somehow tainted and dishonest. Screw you, cheaters!

Aye. That happened to Irombrozia a while back too.

Having thought about this a bit more, I think that the prevalence of multis is actually very understandable given the current structure of the game. Because of how important estates are, realms need nobles. Estates are more important than soldiers to carry units, IMHO. So a multi that sets up an estate then does basically nothing is actually quite valuable; there is a very high return on cheating. I know that multis have been a problem since long before estates, but I wonder if estates make it worse.

Yet another reason to eagerly await the new estate system...

At least it wasn't as bad as Antioch...
