"I wish <this thing> wasn't this way but it has to be because people would abuse it with alts"

    This could be a motto of this game. So many systems and things are setup in a way that makes the game worse, but they have to be there otherwise people would go crazy with alts.


    Funny thing is people go crazy with alts already!!! I saw clips of "people" who play with like 20 clients open doing ICs or raids, it's utterly deranged. Game should be played on one character at a time max, maybe storage character because we have 999999 items but inventory is too small to store all of it - but again it's a bandaid fix for inventory being too small and on a paid subscription too lmao.


    So I gave this new server a try and few of my friends did too. Due to real life stuff, one friend couldn't play as much as he wanted and now he's behind in levels. We literally can't play together anymore, we can't go and help him level up, be it on land of living or maps. This is horrible, this is anti-mmo, this is anti coop, this is anti community, this is anti-normal people.


    You should have NEVER went with alts. If you don't alt you're at a giant disadvantage, prices skyrocket before you get chance to earn gold in normal ways, playing on one char.

    There is good thread on nostale discord (I can't speak there, they require phone number, i can't provide that). The only arguments from alt abusers are "you're jealous/poor", sad people!


    The only arguments that somewhat make sense are problems that aren't solved by alting, alting is a band-aid fix for these problems. These problems should be solved by gameplay and economy changes!


    Altoiders be gone

    I have always voiced my dis-likeness about alts from the moment they first appeared, I can understand to a degree why a game would allow it but not sure why allow unlimited number of them for each person was necessary.


    Any so called problems no alts bring can easily be solved if you allow 5 alts per person, I would even argue 3 alts per person would be enough, more than that always seemed an overkill to me.

    The decision to allow alts happened all the way back in 2010-12 if I remember correct at least for the EN servers and from there basically nobody would take that away.


    I for sure do not think anyone will take it away now 15 years later after they were first allowed, so there is little to no point to overly discuss this, is how the game runs and it has been over-discussed for many many years and no change ever happened, sometimes you just gotta take the hint already.

    No alts period. Any problems, that would appear after alts are gone, are from obnoxiously bad balance and economy (which are from some point designed with these "players" in mind). It's straight up not fun playing on more than once account at once. Altoids say "just do it yourself" but yea it's not fun. Altoids say "you dont have to do it" but how is it fair, how is this balanced to compete with guys who have lets say x5 income and items.

    Game changes from mmorpg to a badly designed rts with horrible ui and controls. But all altoids are just using cheats to control their bots anyway, so they don't have to do anything so it doesn't matter to them. They just play on their main and alts are controlled automatically. Gameforge of course doesn't do anything with these cheaters.

    I realize that the chance for getting alts removed entirely is slim but I'd like for altoids to work for it and not have cheat that makes alting effortless.

    I hope game shuts down and competent people will be able to run it instead of this company.
