Just an idea... i think this would increase the length of characters lives and i have a strange inkling you'd see less rares on low lvls for some odd reason.
Sorry, but this is a horrible idea. My room mate and I both play and that would make us both quit.
Not one, But there should be some kind of limit like 4 if it possible to put a limit on people.
If it were ever implemented it should be based on a case by case type of deal where if someone totally does something stupid and knows it was wrong they should be slapped on it, but to put everyone on this would kind of suck. I have one character right now, almost everything mastered, RP is great, nearly 200 hours on them and all in all it's still fun to play. I used to play like 4-6 characters at any given time just because I'd get bored with one and switch to another. Even with 1-8 hours of play time a day I still devote a majority of my time to one character most times. Most people on here have at least 2-3 though at the least.
I usually shuffle two characters, though I tend to favor one over the other.
I don't think it should be as simple as 1 character per IP, but i would like to see something like a master account system, where you log onto your account, and then your characters are tracked through that.
So rather than making a character initially, you would set up your account, and then from there you would have options to create a new character, or to log onto one of your characters from a list.
This would help track characters, and as Imms would be able to review data on the account i'm sure they would find it useful for profiling us as players.
yea master account system would be cool.
Another thing i was wondering if it would help is to keep circulation of alot of the rares of shelved characters. I wonder how many characters out there havent been logged into in a year because someone forgot about or didnt like the character at the time and forgot to delete, and maybe that character had 1 rare in on.. now if there are 30 to 40 of these out there...
Rares get purged monthly.
Rares get purged when the character logs back in, not monthly. They are CHECKED and MARKED to be purged monthly, but the purging happens when you log back in (or the second time you log back in)

I agree 100%. Here it is fleshed out (and forgotten):

I thought that got changed. Guess I was wrong. If they can check and mark it monthly, why don't they just purge it monthly? :confused:
Shrug more important things need to be fixed.
how about the players take some responsibility and manage their own characters?
Heh, people taking responsibility...
Yer funny.
I remember once a long time ago I quit playing a character for like 2 months, didn't touch them at all the prior month and came back to still being fully decked in all my rares. I wouldn't mind seeing people being purged bimonthly so they circulate more, meaning ACTUALLY purged, not just checked and marked. Then people who only log on at the beginning or end of the month are purged twice over and get booted from their Cabals because they didn't log in at least 10 hours in either the beginning or end. People who just log in at the end irritate me and if there's no real reason for it, there's no real reason for them keeping their shinies and Cabal spots, right?
if you don't put in enough hours on a chracter you should be purged on the spot. on the other hand if you can play four chracters enough to keep them from getting purged i think its fine. to an extent anyway i don't know the actual time it takes to keep your self from being rarepurged, but if it's relatively small i suggest raising it.
I like what english lad what talking about. perhaps a limit on how many characters an account could have.
