Ban multi-logging!
« on: February 13, 2013, 09:16:35 am »
What's happening is, people are getting on 2-4 accounts, and mining ess, and later trading it to their main account. So in other words, they have a 4x advantage on people who don't multi-log. There are two big problems with multi-logging:
  • The multi-loggers can get very rich by selling all the ess they get
  • IT'S FREAKING CHEATING!!! Trading between your own accounts has ALWAYS been banned in RS! And for good reason!

Seriously, it's not going to hurt you if you ban multi-logging! All you have to do is check IPs maybe once per day, see if someone is using multiple accounts, then check the trade logs to see if they've been trading each other!

And that's one reason why it should be banned. The top of the RC hiscores are going to all be multi-loggers.

support, at least make it so anything more than 2 accounts aren't allowed. 3 is just way to high and 2 is still stretching it

I'd say a good way to log users is not based soley on their IP address.  MAC address helps, too, even with proxies usually, unless the user multi proxies or multi masks their addresses.  This could be used to detect excessive multi logging and allow for identification and logging for if two people use the same connection on two different computers.

doubt many people would put that much effort into logging into two accounts to play a private server

I personally don't see anything wrong with it. I think 3 accounts should be banned, due to too much income gained and it can make the eco worse, but two accounts wouldn't do too much. I right now just level fishing with a second account while i play on my main, and fishing isn't a ECONOMY GAME CHANGER, I don't think fishing even get's that much money atm.
Selling sets of armor bronze-mith. message me in game for the prices if interested :P -happyguy3216

Even though I won't multi-log, I'm not sure I agree that having 2 is any different then having 10.  Either you can do it, or it's against the rules.

I agree, but if they decide to keep it allowed there should be restrictions such as previously mentioned. I do hope they ban it though.

IMO, whether you do 2, 3 or 4, or whatever, why condemn others for what you do?  Kind of like telling a thief, I only rob one bank a day, but since you rob two, you should go to prison. ;)
