the way you state this makes it sound like HCS should unofficially be of the stance that having multiple accounts is perfectly acceptable.

thats a shame.


I don't believe they are of that stance. You can read their policy by logging into the support site at the top of the forum and reading the knowledgebase on the game. Eg:

Can i own more than one account?
Solution
No. This is a direct violation of the game's Usage Agreement. Depending on the severity of the violation, your account may be suspended pending review. All suspension issues are carried out at the discretion of Hunted Cow Studios Ltd and are not up for any kind of debate.[/quote]


translation into cheater language= they don't want people cheating, but they probably won't do anything about it if you act apologetic...

this really does still practically tell cheaters that their presence will be condoned... its a shame in my opinion.

come on HCS a harsher stand PLEASE!!!

Nice idea Phool.. and maybe when the banned player is in the stocks, instead of "Player not found" they can be attacked, but cant place a Bounty! That'll teach em :wink:

The point of Phool's idea is that if someone is caught cheating then ALL their accounts be open to public ridicule. This would serve as a deterrent to people who would cheat by making their best character vulnerable to attack, mockery, ridicule, and mass de-leveling. Or at least, that was my thought on it.

They should end up with negative, yes, negative gold and FSP.

This would be great expecially if we get to pay gold to throw rotten tomatoes at the players (resulting in a loss of exp :P)


Stoning for double xp loss... another great way to delevel!

to me this idea seems pointless, and the only reason anyone put it on here seems to be that noone is taking any serious action from HCS to get rid of the inactives and the cheaters in an effective way... ie making it really pointless to cheat due to changes in the gameplay... theres too much to be gained by cheating for too many people... I wonder why they won't take a firmer stance on it?

this is just goofy, and tomfoolery in my opinion... lets get serious and actually tryto get something done...


I agree with this. Why put cheaters on a pedastal? It will only make it easier for other people to abuse whatever it is the original cheater did. Banning them seems most effective to me. If only they would ban cheaters though.


The suggesttion was to ban/suspend cheaters and let us have a laugh at them....Thumbs up Phool :P

This is a medieval game, right? Well I reckon it could use something like a pillory or stockade feature where cheats are publicly named and shamed.

I play another game where instead of losing your account entirely for cheating your character is placed in jail and an announcement is made detailing the offence you committed and how long you are suspended for.

If cheaters were publicly named in this way I think it would help to make the game more honest and accountable.

Players could go in the stocks for various periods of time depending on the offence, for creating alts, fake recruiting, logging into other players characters for relic defence or buffing, doing free offers multiple times etc etc...

If HCS is serious about trying to curb the cheating in the game then I believe it would be useful to introduce something like the pillory or stockade so that honest players could see that the developers actually do take a stand against cheats.

And while they were at it they could increase the number of fsps per dollar that you get for donating to the game as if the fsps were a little less expensive I believe more people would purchase them rather than trying to obtain them dishonestly.

[b]Also I think they should either remove the recruiting medal from the game or rename it as the cheaters medal ;)[b]


lmao... I got a medal... it isn't gold... but all I did was put my links in random places I didn't cheat... granted I know some who cheated for their medal not all did...

BUT I agree strongly with the stockade... just one thing to add... treat them all like they are on bounties... so 1 nornal attack would cause 2x exp lloss...

2X?!? I was thinking more like 5X exp loss...with no level loss cap :lol:

I love it, great idea Phool, however I do recruit people and not do them myself, so his would be bad to people who honestly recruit people

If something like a stockade or pillory was introduced and the cheating players were suspended from the game for periods of between 1 week and 1 year and could actually lose xp or gold or pvp points while in the stockade I don't think this would be placing them on a pedestal.



good idea...not only could they lose xp, gold, and pvp but also make it a small chance that you could get some of their fsp that most likely they cheated to get...and if there is a charge to attack them make it gold/fsp that way the people (like myself) that dont have alot of fsp could also take a few stabs at them
