I'm french,
I don't know were you come from, or if you are aware of what is happening in France since November 13th. We are in emergency state, and our government is trying to modify our constitution in order to limitate our freedom, be able to spy on us, etc. All that because of a feeling of fear. So yes, crimes happen, and if in order to prevent it you have to suppress freedom, then you're not better than the ones who want to force their view of the world...And still can't prevent attacks. Other example : weapon control in the USA. How many killings? And what is done to limit the access to firearms?
They are lots of deads due to car accidents, and yet we still have cars.
Restricting access to the game may be a bad thing too, because if you prevent casual players or family players to play and have fun, they may just stop playing. But if you are enjoing the game with a very small community, that's your right. I don't think it is a good thing in a long term view for the game, as they need some money to maintain it.
With on character by game copy, i fear that more casual players will stay away from the game as they'll not have enough freedom, or even ask for a refund. i understand that you want to preserve the game quality, but without enough players, how much time will the game last?
I'm just asking for a compromise, i've said various times one character per server, and only a few answered to it. With the new players joining the game, is guess new servers will be opened, so what is the problem with one character per server instead of one character per game gopy?
