Lately iv'e been seeing some very suspicious junk related to multiple accounts, the current measures in place are hardly sufficent (email, static ip, and last name check?)
#1 People can make multiple email accounts very easily.
#2 Money is on less than 10% of the people who play are on static ips.
#3 Last names are more easily made up then anything else, but I assume its just a verify check on the "Family member thing"
Ident checks combined with range will tell you if someones just reconnecting to register a new account because the ident will remain the same.
And last but not least a port scan for open proxies will prevent people from just using proxies to make new accounts.
I know all of these to be possibly implemented,
http://grc.com (port scan) and theres a way to do ident checks just can't think of it right now.
Which people are you referring to? I've noticed names a whole lot alike, and I'm getting suspicious (ie, starfox, starfox mercenary division)
i also have been hearing of multipul accounts. i think someone should be monitoring this closer than it is being monitored.
Its wierd when you see someone like BadGuy, then u see BadGuy22, Then BadGuy76...I makes u think!!
P.S. Don't Smoke Raisins!!!
I got banned because my brother wanted to play and set up an account. :angry: Ican't do anything now.... *tears well up in eyes* I'm never gonna get back on!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :(
Also, listen to this: My horde, My Other Horde, (In red) My Dead Horde. Way before I came here. A pic in the old forums by Stormy, entitled "pssssst!".
There WAH, The WAHfia, WAH two and a whole bunch of other WAH names. If your gonna make a multiple account, don't use the same names XDD
yes the WAH's are pretty obvious
Plus, there's so many hordes with the root word "Juska", sometimes it can get a little suspicious...
Juska, Baska, Raska, etc. Many of those around...
If you want further proof, here's a bit of information. I searched tag "Juska" and got 16 results. While most have been deactivated, some are really obvious evidence that this has been going on. Such as Juska BodyGuard, Juska's BodyGuard, JuskaWong BodyGuard, etc. All of the warlord numbers for those are fairly close, too.
Yup. Then Fenix used to have multis. I know about WAH because when I attacked him, all three attacked me like 18 times. THen Jedi had a multiple account. I msged starfire, and the reply was signed Jedi?! Now he's gone, so it doesn't matter. But the admins are really taking a break now.
[edit]THen there are a lot with Delor in their names. But only one is currently playing, DoD.
The Delor accounts are extremely suspicious. For one, they all have "Delor" in them. Second, all the warlord numbers are consecutive...they /are/ sort of amusing though....
Hrm. How about "Romantics Tribe", "Love Tribe", or, the best one, "DEAD BUFFALO TRIBE"!!!! lol
then there's all the ones which might not (actually, probably aren't) related, but they always made me wonder, that are themed around Nazi Germany...
At least if people are cheating, the fact of the matter seems to be that they don't get too horribly high in the ranks.
Then again, like Illonoise's government person, the people we're suspicous about may be totally innocent.
Odins FaMiLy and Endless Horde are the same. If someone attacks them, they both attack. I used to think omniblink and idiot were the same because omniblink had no troops besides skiffs, and a lot of money. idiot was the same. Plus the numbers were 350 and 356. Are.
So foolish.
833 and 825 or something rather attack me in patterns. *cough multi accounts*
"Illonoise's" hehehe! Illinois, have some respect. Hehe...Illonoise...hehe...
Bloody Ryan...
At least we have a Democrat in now...
And we prefer Illinoisian...
~Shy, Myuh!
Part of the problem has been solved; I have just killed Odins FaMiLY (#800).
~Beatles
The New Butcher Boy
[edit]9 kills! Look at my signature any time to see how many walrods I have killed.
It doesn't say. I prefer Illinoying.
Oh, here's some good cheating.
Clan: Final Fantasy (FF)
Cloud Strife (#1004)
Tifa (#1006)
Tidus (#1008)
Squall (#1009)
Zidane (#1010)
Yuna (#1018)
...Hmm.
*isulted*
They left out Red XIII... The heathens.
~Shy, Myuh!
Ugh... they put in FF VIII characters... Ick...
No Kimahri, no Zell? NO FFIII CHARAS?! Blasphemy! We need some Mog and Locke and Shadow and such. FFVIII wasn't that bad. Just Squall...(I hate him so much!)
On the bright side, they're all banned now.
yay for banning lol
how could anyone actually expect to be able to operate more than one account? sheesh. I mean, I barely have time to keep mine in the top 50.
