[POLL] HWID limit VS limited kill period

Hello elitepvpers,

I would like to get the opinion of the community about that topic.
Do you still prefer the classic HWID limit with for example 2-3 accounts logged in on the same time or you prefer a limited kill period?

lemme explain what limited kill period means:

is basically means that the 1st account logged in to the HWID will receive unlimited access to the game but every additional account (up to the 4th account) are just able to hunt monsters for 3 hours (starts with the 1st kill).
to increase the time you have to buy a VIP state.

every additional account wont receive any hours to hunt monsters.

this idea is to avoid gold botters.

^ sounds like fatigue system to me.

i don't hate it but having this kind of system on a p-server is useless.

why its useless?

also p-servers have a problem with gold botters and i dont wanna block the login based on HWID because there is also other stuff to do ingame

example:
trading, alchemy, stall etc

and don't forget that i wont block the exp / sp collection
i will just block the kill function, means you can still level up your 2nd / 3rd char by creating a party with them and in case its a warrior you can even buff your main char

How do you wanna give the 'VIP state' out?

you have to buy it.

i will probably remove all the extra features from premium and use the premium ticket to assign the vip state

and for sure it will effect the whole account and not just 1 char

One of HWID Limit's reasons is to prevent players from creating 8/8 parties to increase communications between people and having a better gameplay,
so, that solution is useless in my view also if we talked about goldbots matter u said they can attak 3 hours so it's not something that gonna prevent those bots as 3 hour from that char and 3 from the other ones ... etc
it will be 24/7 gold botting, yea you reduced it but didn't prevent it.

keep in mind that just 3 accounts will recive the 3 hours mob hunting
means relog after 3 hours to another char just works 2 times if you have 7 other friends you can do that with
and i already wrote my problem about HWID limit, if you have for example:

1 char to bot
1 char to stall
1 char to alchemy (with an alchemy bot)
1 char to trade
and maybe you wanna login some chars to plvl your self

thats simply impossible with a HWID limit of 3

If you already know the answer to your own question and seem to be mind locked on your "limited kill period" system, why do you even bother asking for our opinion?

So true , more like he wanted to see if we love the idea the same way as he does .

Ontopic : I think it's a kinda pay2win feature , (basically if you pay for this VIP ticket you can farm with more chars = you're buying advantage) . Unless you plan to add it for gold / coins it's fine, maybe a motivation to people to start jobbing etc. If you planned it for silk/donation then its pay2win . :)
Hope I helped .

Since this isn't a question there can't be an answer.

I request some opinions and just posted my point of view why i even had the idea of the limited kill period system

also i reexplained some miss understandings so why u think I am mind locked?

actually yes, besides the opinion i also wanna see how the reaction is to this feature.

anyway thanks for that "pay2win" aspect i had that in mind also
so i tough to not sell anything else which gives you any advantage (avatars / grab / attack pets only)

so this is basically a way to add paid accounts without lock out free accounts.

To be completely honest ,half of the sro community would not even understand anything of this system . Too dumb for a complicated system , they hardly know the difference bw. hwid and ip limit as well .

alright, i think you are right i mean this system wouldn't give me any benefits, I would just try to increase the user experience with that system but i think they wouldn't care about it or would even claim it as "pay2win".

Aw look, I've learned / trying to learn something new and wanna indirectly show off, envy me infidels!

:facepalm: I think you wanna get convinced with something that you know it's not a good idea.

I think you forgot what Silkroad is and how to play it. Sadly, this will affect every server project you might think of.
