Dach, theres a difference between switching characters and switching account. Also, it does make sense. One account means you have all the station cash on that account. Several accounts force you to split your cash.

thats my point. its more convenient to have all your shit on one account. they will prolly see some cash for it and im ok with that. just let me play on any empire i want. dont restrict me to one empire or force me to make multiple accounts

One empire one server. No one has said anything about restricting accounts to one server only.

No. IN fact, it should be impossible to have a second account.

Empire hopping is the whorst. Everyone doing it should be shot.
Play a different empire as much as you want on a different server, but dont just join the freaking winning team.

That being said, a 24 hour timer after login would be good. Lets you play whatever you want, you just have to wait for 24 hours before you can switch. Fully prevents empire hopping.

I agree completely on the 24 hour wait.

That wont be that much problem. Most veterans would refuse playing under pro7, if they handle accounts too. I rather endure higher ping to US servers, that to be separated, and treated like shit. But still i would like to have Werner back (with new hamster).

Apologies if this has been dealt with elsewhere, but if it has I haven't seen it.

So. Its been over a week.

Any updates Higby?

Nothing new yet, and this really makes me mad.

They had some clauses that they realised would be unpopular?

I hope this is just for marketing and the game gets decent exposure out here. I wouldn't mind going into a game store in the UK and hearing people actually talking about PS2.

If we're being segregated, well, I'm as upset as anybody else. It's a mistake, right from the start of the game. I'd be pretty suspicious about slowly becoming second-rate too.

This brings up something that's slightly worrysome to me. Is the game going to end up region locked?

I live in Australia, and being trapped in Australasia servers, away from most of my gaming mates in the US sucks.

Not to mention being stuck with non-english speaking people. And far lower populations.

TL: DR
Region-Locking sucks balls for Australians.

Man ... tell me about it. I live in Austria and I'm also stuck with non-english speaking people. Imagine that!

texico · 2012-01-19, 09:08 PM

Yep, I'm stuck in England with non-english speaking people. I don't even know what most of the people in the north are going on about half the time.

Ping is better from au-us than it is from au-Asia, would be dumb to put us on Asian servers.
