Bearing in mind it just took me longer to reply to your post than it did to make two new accounts I don't think it's going to stop anyone greifing.

The fact you think this is a serious barrier to any griefer is ludicrous.

^QFT. People that think one empire per server will actually solve anything are delusional. The problem at the core is that the game is F2P and it's stupid easy to make more accounts. There is no reason to add timers or restrictions when it doesn't solve the core issue. People will just make more accounts at the drop of a hat. SOE would have to make that more difficult.. which they won't because that is anti-consumer friendly... so we are stuck with what we have.

Yea for some reason SOE's system does not require a unique e-mail.

Agree. Been intentionally teamkilled [or simply for sick fun] multiple times now. Its getting annoying.

And why peeps here say that you can just create a new account, after you get ip/harware banned by SOE.

If thats the case, than whats the point in banning them at all ?

You can change your IP.... Account banning is not the same as IP banning. IP banning helps, but you can get around it. Account banning also helps, but you can create unlimited accounts. In the end there is absolutely no way to prevent people from ruining your gameplay... all you can do is keep shutting them down until they give up.

I know its super easy to change your ip, but most of those kids surely wouldn't know how to come around a hardware ban.

What is the first place most people visit online if they want to find out about something? Google.... Good luck stopping the young generation (anyone 35 or younger that is... hell most people up to 50 are good now). You would stop my dad... he doesn't know about the googles...

You'd have to be doing some seriously hardcore griefing for SOE to hardware ban you, if you're that dedicated to it you'll be well versed at getting round it
