So then what is the point?Follow

Absolute nonsense.

Only if you had 8 accounts would this be true and very few go that far.

The issue is not one of "8 times" as you have so spuriously put in all over the place - and you willfully miss the point.

Let us say I am already paying for an EQ account. I want to have more characters and have links on existing servers - friends and the like - which i wish to maintain. A second account is the obvious way to go. It will cost me another $12.99 per month. I have to decide whether to spend that money or not. Competing for the entertainment budget are things like going to pubs, cinema, buying alcohol etc. Performing a simple value judgement between what I want from a second account on EQ and the other things shows me significant benefits to the EQ account.

I decide to spend twice what I am spending - another $12.99 - which means I don't buy drinks with that money or cinema tickets or whatever.

This is in order to play with people I know and characters I already have significant time invested in.

Yes there are nearly 50 servers and if I had no friends or links it would be cheaper to just go play a different server. But this is not the only factor in the consideration. I might very well go to a pub where the drinks (coke is not a drink more of a well-marketed *****) are twice the price if the atmosphere was nicer.

So please stop the spurious pretensions of business logic. You aren't fooling anyone. Jennock said it well some posts back - I play FV because I like it there.



Not sure how this is relevant. Why not just say you are 39. The maths could confuse some of our readers. If you want to play guessing games on my age then better people than you have tried and failed.

StefinFetchit, Love that Avatar!!!!!

There are a couple of classes that I would say are slightly over powered, and a couple slightly under powered, the rest are well balanced.

I think that monks could use some help, I would like to see their avoidance be increased a little, and more light weight quality gear available to them.

[quote=Cobra101 A second account is the obvious way to go. It will cost me another $12.99 per month.[/quote]I thought one needs the complete game including registration codes for each account which obviously is not coverd in the 12.99$ Or have you found a way around that?

sorry i didn't know the MAJORITY of players has two toons running at the same time. I'v been told about less then 5% do that including all servers (so PVP servers falsify that statistic somehow) but if you say it's the rule and not the exception to have two chars running simultaneously - than a ot of things suddenly make perfect sense.

Glad you appreciate it. Not many remember the 'Classics' Nothing like them...that's why you see so many re-makes.

That one is easy. On FV you cant have mules and alts on the same account. Thats why the average player has only one charakter there. So if a minority of about 20% of the players there instead of the usual 80% (thats what I've been told - thought it was higher....) have only a bazaar mule it gives them more insight and control over the market. and since 4 people with 2 boxes could take LDoN (no there only 3 required, ok) its also an advantage above the ones who have to shout there groups together.

Thats what comes to my mind immediately.

But don't get me wrong - thats neither illegal nor unfair in my opinion, twinking and plat buying isn't either.

By the way I am trying to get my post count up to ;-)

I am coming after Kao!!!!!
