A Potential Change In Master Accounts

Status
Not open for further replies.
I agree with the houses and business point, but some people like me are active on all four accounts and I like the unique roleplay that comes with each character so i'll have to disagree with the limitation idea.
 
I have four accounts, all of which are in legal factions (I do not enjoy illegal RP) and value all four characters with the individual roleplay. I'd really hate dropping two of them which would limit my roleplay to Law Enforcement and Aperture.
 
How about this

Rather then forcing a deletion of 1-2 accounts to make it to the maximum use of 2 characters. How about this system.

Character Limit: 6

Character use Limit: 2


You can have six characters on your master account, just as you can have four now. But this is different. How it works is quite simple, rather then limiting yet ANOTHER feature of RCRP down to two characters. There is an alternative.

I understand where you are coming from Tommy, get rid of in-active characters and factions prone to being ignored by activity. What I suggest is, a lock system.

What happens is; you choose two characters you can log in to. And can have up to four other characters on the MA, for a total of six characters.

You have the control to lock four characters, of the six you own. And you can switch around the locked characters. But there is a 72 hour wait time between 'clicking' the un-lock button. And having the character usable again. Once the character is locked; on /f list (or whatever the command is, I forgot it) it will show your character as 'LOCKED' if you have it locked. Which will help faction leaders know the dedicated, active members apart from the rest, and some factions request that your character is your main character; so a faction leader can remove you once the locked message comes up and the faction leader sees it. During the 72 hour wait period; it also shows on the f-list as 'pending lock'

EXAMPLE:

MA account: Explosion
Password: blahblahblag

Tab>> Characters

/nosupport, THE CURRENT SYSTEM ISN'T BROKEN WHY CHANGE IT? If people want to use all 4 accounts, LET THEM, if people only want to use 1 or 2, LET THEM.
 
I posted that as an alternative to Tommy's idea Jboi, you clearly did not read the entire block of text.
 
I don't think it's going to make people log in more often on those two accounts thus becoming more active in each of the factions respectively.
Quite the contrary, I think it will cause some people to be even less active because you're sort of limiting and decreasing their choice of what to Roleplay. So, let's say I'm in the PD and an illegal faction on my two accounts, however I don't feel like RPing either of those, but instead I prefer to RP a hobo or something like that at the moment - well, I have 2 other characters to rely on! And with the 2 characters per account limit, I wouldn't be able to do this. So, the result? I won't even login. Imagine 20 other people do the same - the server will have a significantly lower amount of players online.
I like the freedom of having 4 characters because they are all different personalities and are involved in different kinds of Roleplay and I believe it's the same with other people. Think of it this way: with the 4 characters, people have more options. They have the freedom to be creative and constantly come up with new ideas to Roleplay, without worrying about "Oh, I wanna Roleplay this, but I don't wanna leave the factions I'm in that I worked so hard for, what to do?"
Also, this brings a lot more RP opportunities, as well as variety and breaking the monotony. If you limit the people to 2 characters, I believe most people will go for a legal RP + illegal RP type of combination, which doesn't leave any place for imagination and new ideas to bring to the table.
Then you might as well call the server Red County Cops & Robbers (with a few exceptions of course).
The 3 characters per master account is debatable and reasonable but I don't know, I think it's unnecessary. I prefer it with 4. Just my two cents.

Have a good day.

No, your idea is just stupid.

Wonderful choice of words, completely relative to that post you quoted. Anywho. We all have an opinion, and I see that you may prefer only two characters just as TommyB. I posted it that an idea of an alternative to those who will not agree to losing their characters. None the less; attempt of hurtful words or predigest against my suggestions does not bother me. It's my expression of ideas whether or not you enjoy them. It does not effect me as I am no longer entwined with the RCRP community. Good day.
