Accounts in PS

[necrona]

Since the old good times have been passed, today almost every second player is faking and not using his real account anymore.
Is it possible to make it like this:

-You can create only 1 account
-You can create a clan
-You need to send an invitation to the members who want to join your clan
-If the persons accept it, a clan tag will be automatically set in front / behind your name

I don't think that it's possible because it's running over ut3 isn't it?

All depends on UT3 code. With the new TCPLink, we might be able to add to it, but we'll see about that.

Would be awesome if it would work  :D

Agreed, I'm with Agent/necroma (sorry if i spelt it wrong) on the no smurfing thing, although i used to do it a hell of a lot, i've realised how stupid it is. IMO the only reason people fake is because of pride thing, if they get beaten there CT gaming credZ go down, which is pretty lame. Also when ur on your reals, people stay in ur server more cos they get hyped when they play good players. So i think that only one account should be possible. The clan tag suggestion thing is good, how about how it is like it BF2142 where on the logon screen it has a box for clantag, which you just put it in there and it automatically adds it to the beginining/end of your name. That way it could be changed.

Suggestions, Criticisms, Comments??? ;)

glad finally someone see's my point of view now.. um i know that there is already in Ut3 a option to add a clan tag in ur name under the option " players "  , or create a player one of the two.

1 account per IP address.  Would someone really go through all the trouble to change their IP just to have a different account?  If so, lame.  Haven't been a victim of Multiple-Account-Makers (or M.A.M.'s as I call them) ,because I'm new to the PC online scene, so I don't know if people would really do all that just to change their name.  Maybe you could click on a button to see what account people have had in the past on that IP address.  That way you could change your name if you wanted but you couldn't hide behind it.

Dynamic IP, anyone?

[Gawain]

if it's impossible to have the acc related to a cd-key, you will never stop people from faking.
the clan-tag thingy would be great as it's annoying to have to create a new accoun every time you switch a clan.

If, any ever did that they should be crowned one of the saddest fucks alive  ;)

I have a dynamic IP, and im behind a router, but when i host a server, the same ip is always displayed on xfire. Is it possible we could do it like steam, 1 Account per CD Key?

The only thing that's annoying is the goddamn german and polish dipshits that create a new clan every week. *hint*

I've found that my IP changes whenever I restart my router. Might be the same with you.

I say no. If people wanna smurf, let them smurf, I won't be the one stopping that. What's the frikkin'deal btw, if people want more accounts, let them. Like you have to know everyone before you can play with them, we aim to make it a game accessable to A LOT of people, not the small Versus fanbase where everyone knows everyone, so stop the frikkin' smurfing thought already. I don't care if I play against someone who plays under an other name than usual.

Oh, and you won't need more accounts, since you can simply change your name you use online in the INI files.

TCPlink still requires some kind of program running on a server (that works as a proxy to a database), and I don't feel like making something wide as that (and the UnrealScript code which probably will be a pain in the asS) just for the main purpose to stop people of making more accounts?

Ever thought that there may be more people playing from one IP and I'm probably not the only one that hates to ask for a second account from one IP. It should work out-of-the-box, without limitations.

Sorry.

(PS. Project Stealth will probably work without needing a CD-key, only a GameSpy account is enough, though, I still have to mail Epic about this.)

PS2. Thank god they didn't bound CD-keys to your GameSpy account, and you should be happy about that... and it won't be possible to make either, so get it out of your head.

it would be nice to have everyone playing with real acc and using ingame mic, but you definitely shouldn't force them.

people will love you for this =)
