To reduce the 2-boxers population, one idea (out of many I guess), would be to only allow one MAC adress per IP.
But I think no code lines in the EQClient send the MAC adress to the server. So It's fucked up
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. So, the next solution would be the following :
- Create a lilttle program (in Java to avoid any OS compatibility issues) with a login/password/connection-button layout. Log in this new program with your account informations then launch EQ. If the server recognize that you're already logged with your little MAC program, then it allows you to log in, if not, it kicks you.
Considering that your "wife" plays on another comp, this tricks wouldn't annoy the playing experience at all for anyone (except for 2-boxers).
Of course, you could bypass this if you have 2 comp or with many other solutions I won't give here for the sanity of this thread hehe
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].
In anyway, I think it would reduce (maybe greatly?) the 2-boxers population.
What does the dev team think about this?
