I had a whole bunch of people keys in 99/2k. Real-life and online friends. Very classic

Oh it happened. Still was not common due to cc# and contact info associated with account.

Here it is part of the Raid meta.

Use single use recharge EQ subscription cards.

Also, there is no way to enforce this on the people you want to enforce it on. Sorry, you guys can't infringe on Norrathian Bill of Rights.

Easiest way to implement this would be to simply require a $10 to $15 monthly subscription donation amount per account monthly cost. Which they won't do under their current structure even though if they hired a creative accountant and renegotiated with Daybreak they could pull it off.

I’d pay the monthly fee. Shits classic.

Green hasn't even restarted yet, and you're talking about banning account sharing?

What is wrong with you people?

Would absolutely, 100% improve the game, including the raid scene. I’m for it, but as others have said, it’s almost impossible to implement in any impactful way.

Totally forgot about those. Thanks for the reminder. That hit me in the nostalgia.

This is actually quite funny. Consider being a comedian. EQ needs more jokes.

It would absolutely improve the game, but yeah very hard to implement.

Maybe institute a 10 minute lockout to login if the login attempt is coming from an IP different than the last recorded IP. Negligible impact on legit players but a major headache for guilds parking bots everywhere to login the second a mob spawns. They would have to have specific people assigned to each bot, but how many and which bots are needed fluctuates in real time based on who is available during a quake\window repop.

Monthly free for p99, even if possible (it’s not), would be a nightmare. Most people have 1 character per login. I learned this late and have one account full. The rest are single toons spread across 3 more additional logins.

4 monthly fees … yeesh

I bet there are some people that, for personal use only) have 10 or more logins with 1 character per.

So allow a one time merger?
