Let's just spitball here, but what if we gave all toons the same last name from the same account? Or all accounts that generally log in from the same MAC address would be required to have the same last name. I agree anonymity is a problem.

The best solution so far offered is that all accounts MUST tie to a forum handle. Actions against accounts apply to forum accounts and vice versa. If you own multiple accounts they must be tied to the same forum account. Anyone can look up a character's master account.

Attempts to circumvent this will lead to the account in question being banned. Proxy IPs, throwaway forum accounts, etc. and the like can be detected in the same way that MQ users are.

Well there are a couple things that prevent that from being effective. The main thing is that rule lawyering isn't a bannable offense, and neither is being a dick which is what this thread is about. Also AFAIK the GMs don't hand out punishment to alt accounts so it really doesn't matter either way, the offending account gets banned and you can start right up again, until that changes no other changes in account management will matter.

I get what you're saying, but how is the average person going to be able to access this information? If you can target a person and type /forumhandle or something, then that would be a good compromise.

The problem is the present, and past Top Guilds, have threw reason out the door for Pixels. Simple as that. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I still blame account sales, it created a toxic culture that did not value reputation on this server that still exists today.

Wow this makes me sick. I'd never been into the Raid forums before.

Simple fix, return all accounts to the original email address they were created with. I couldn't agree more, certain guilds bought up retired accounts.

It wasn't always against the rules to buy an account with plat. Many accounts changed hands with the blessing of the staff for much of the history of p99. RMT was always against the rules, but there is no way to sort out who was RMTing from who wasn't just be universally returning all accounts to their original emails. Also, it probably isn't even possible.
