Likewise, this is also the third time I've brought it up. In
a balanced single character/account system, the majority of
people will not buy multiple accounts. I've clearly explained
WHY not in the post below:
RE: [MUD-Dev] Gamasutra: Online Justice Systems
-Sayeed, dated 3/27/00
I would repost it in response, but I'm not sure if would violate
list etiquette. You may wish to go back and read it, because
without justification, the statement that "players will buy more
accounts" in a single-character system is an assertion. 'Why
will they buy more?' is the key question. A common answer
to this is that characters appear more valuable because of:
A) Price-Related Value
B) In-Game Value
In the above referenced post, I've explained why both of these
reasons are false.
