GENERAL

But the end result stay the same, a toon in-game that is useless for the game itself (background/lore/rp).

Mais il ne faut pas non plus aller dans l’excès, aucune raison de prendre personnellement cette décision, loin d’être parfaite, mais prise avec les moyens du bord. :)

Q : LoL ! Well goodbye and goodluck then. When you cant see any way i am cheating, just change the rules again. Typical . I have been playing Ryzom this way for 12 years and you have a problem with it now? Why suddenly now? I have been reported repeatedly and because I have done nothing wrong the decision was made to change the rules?
R : It's not the point, even if you play them withoout third part program, it's not a good way to play Ryzom. Because, basically, if other MMOs don't give the possibility to play multiboxing, it's tolerated on Ryzom. But the current four-alts limit discourages playing with others. Yet Ryzom is the only game where playing with others is necessary, and we want to keep that, which is the soul of the game.

- parce qu'elle limite les possibilités de roleplay. Quoiqu'en pense Azazor, le ropleplay ne se limite pas à jouer un seul personnage toujours le même. On peut scénariser de petits événements sans l'aide de personne avec des personnages bien pensés. La limité à deux personnages connectés simultanément est très gênante dans ce cas.

Avec tous les alts qui répondent au sondage ou pas ?

*rigole pour détendre l'atmosphère*

And please: restriction to even one account per person does NOT limit your freedom of play. It just limits your freedom to outperform other players by paying more.

Let's face it: multiboxing is a way of pay-to-win.

It gives advantage in two or three areas:

It's used to level faster without user-interaction.
It's used to win fights without getting people behind your cause ("I am more than you").
It's used to quicker gain an economic advantage, like faster digging and keeping an eye on places to know when certain bosses or named re-spawn.

And it's a very valid question on how much you want to allow single people literally buy these advantages with real money and how much that impacts the motivation of people who don't want or cannot go that route.

I don't agree with you at all. Mainly because I don't try to outperform anybody and this restriction from 4 to 2 toons (we don't speak of subed toons, I don't have 4 subed accounts) limit my freedom of play.
