Is it right to have 2 or even more people play on one account to have an advantage over others? This means 24/7 play time of you schedule the times right, and no, Not account sitting but multiple people actually playing on one account. Like last time, no flaming if you can't give constructive feedback don't post. This is an issue that bigger accounts have i'm sure. I want peoples opinions on this.

i do not feel it is fair. i heard that you are suspose to play ur account to the full ability u can. not u and ur friend play the same account to insure it runs 24/7. it makes it unfair and if it is allowed i am going to do it also. we should all just pair up and share one account. (not really) i hope zorg sets them str8 as someone had admitted to doing this in the generals server...yes email sent to zorg already.

Hi,
This is not multi-accounting. Although it does not sound morally right it is not against the rules and we do not actively search such cases as there is no way for us to do this 100% sure.
Have a nice day,
ZE Administration
Its not against the rules but not advised.
And yes, me and Sprog are sharing an account in generals

------------------------------------
Also lmao, I love mucking with you diedara
On a serious note, I dont think multi-ownership is a good thing. There have been a couple of cases in the past (such as Jim) which have shown that.

Not asking if its against the rules, asking about everyone's opinion, I know that your account has multiple people on it I could care less about your situation, you already know mine lets see what others think of such tactics.
ts not against the rules but not advised.

Also, I believe that falls under account swapping since it's being used by two people, I'm pretty sure that is what is considered account swapping. This was agreed upon in this post.

In a sense, your giving away your account daily with two people on it, surely i'm not the only one who believes this.

I feel honored that you think im doing so well you accuse me of cheating, but I have nothing to hide.
If you have an issue with a player report them to admin.
Also, if it so troubles your spirit I call upon thee @Zorg to clarify that only one player has ever been on my account (He_Man, Generals)
But then again your option doesn't mean anything to me

You must have not read my post, as I asked for constructive feedback and opinions, but you seem focused on trying to bait me into a flame war. If you have nothing constructive left to say on the matter stop posting.

@___Didact___
I agree with you that its wrong and I dont approve of it.
However, when I tired to get another player banned for it zorg sent me the above email and said its not illegal, but definitely not advised.
If you want proof of that email, I'm happy to provide it, with zorgs consent.
Have a nice day!
EDIT: I am not trying to start a flame war. King is the one who started that inflammatory subject on this post.

In the past, Zorg did an update that destroyed the way this game was played, to keep things simple, you were able to phalanx someone if you popped one moon despite fleetsaving to another. Well that got bad reception, and just because the admin said it was good did not mean everyone agreed with it. Well after much disapproval change was made. Many things like that has happen in the past, so I see this situation no different. Your little friends that called us cheaters I guarantee that if the tables were turned and you were with us they would be calling you a cheater as well. What i'm trying to do is get the general player base opinion on the matter to get a change set. Lets be honest, you playing on two accounts has puts the whole server under an unfair playing environment. If that's how zorg wants the game to play then people will just quit, It's the law of the browser game land, but I would rather not leave this game because of something silly like this. Their is a lot of room for abuse. Imagine 4 or even 6 people playing an account. Never sleeps, constantly raiding, never stopping. I don't think that is the way zorg is meant to be played. Do you think that's how it should be?

The simplest way he could check is to see that during half the day one IP is using the account while the other half is using another. Even then in the event of third party software, an account that is constantly active without any sign of stopping is a clear cut sign itself.
