Multiple client log ons

[linzi]

People are renaming your 'mir2.dat' and bypassing the 'one client check' to allow themselves to have upto 5 mining chars (Making your usercount look inflated) . Surely this isnt how you intended?

You have always been able to log in multiple clients, granted with these files if you have two monitors you can effectively use two characters at the same time, but I feel this is a nice feature.

Unless you mean you are able to mine without the client having focus? So mining whilst playing another character? This we might need to discuss as a team if it is the case.

I know someone had 5 mining chars, all playing ontop of each other m8.

Yep, heard someone had 5 miners going last night, subtley named miner1-5 or something. It used to be if you had multiple client open on any other files, only the one in focus would do anything. The other would be frozen completely.

Also inflating user-count and giving a false reading. Maybe its not to 100+ afterall.

Why not put a level limit on the equipment needed to mine? I know there are bad sides tothis idea but it does seem like a quick fix to the problem?

Saying that... that has more bad sides to it and it doesnt stop the problem entirely. Ignore me... ha

After speaking with Milo I think we will just make it so you only mine if the window has focus.
