Would EQ be more fun if they made it hard again?

Login accounts are IP locked with no IP exemptions would be interesting. Sure there would still be work arounds like VPN that people would use to create additional accounts but perameters could be set to elminate the proliferation of bot armys and the ability for people to swap around to multiple accounts in quick succession.

Just like back in classic live there was a rare person that had multiple computers and funds to pay for multiple monthly subscriptions but it was a big enough hurdle that it was by far the exception not the meta.

Fully agree with this and the idea that account sharing in general and being able to have an arbitrary number of accounts is a major contributor to the problem here. Sharing your login credentials with others was never against the rules iirc, but many fewer people did it because the stakes are higher when you're paying for the account, and you know that your buddy Jimbo might get your character killed in an unrecoverable place and the GM's won't just restore it after it decays.
