Am I the only one who has multiple non-storage characters in one account? I own 3 accounts: 1. 16x BM , 13x AM 2. 16x DrK 3. 13x NL, 15x MM it may sound dumb why do I put multiple mains in the same account, for literally no benefit at all. No benefit but disadvantage: can't support each other for boss/mules at all. For me, my reason is for the simplicity of account management, I don't want to create 20 dummy emails for 20 royals account (don't think the email provider nor royals admin like this either). Are there anyone else doing this? p/s: I am thinking if everyone creates 10 account for 10 classes, the royal's account database will be 10 times larger than it should be. If the admins will be concerned about this, should they incentivise us to put characters under the same account? eg: 1. make it illegal to mule (pretty sure this is a discussion topic now if multi clienting / mule cultures is destroying the gameplay) 2. passive buffs for high level characters in the same account, eg: blessing of fairy (this is going to create a larger barrier between old and new players, but maybe this can be adjusted such that the benefit is not be too large?)
Erm as for database issues, it doesn't quite work that way. Been a while since I've taken a database course (so I can't give you any math based explanations), but I'm fairly sure using different emails and different separate accounts over putting everything in one account is not going to cause any significant database issues if the core structure of the database is done correctly. Really up to you since a shared storage is quite nice and if your characters don't need to buff each other then go ahead save yourself some time moving gear.
Wow okay, didn't expect such response. But what makes you guys create multiple mains in the same account? I don't do any RP, and i really dont mind transfering stuff by dropping them around. So I don't see any benefits of merging them. The only reason I do that is so I dont have to remember 10 account ID, PW, and email (and the email pw). Though it is new knowledge to me that an email can be reused to create another account.
When I started playing, I didn't know that I can use multi-client, so I created my Night Lord and Bishop in the same account
