Thanks for the post chad

I have a few questions regarding account sharing

When the state battlegroups ended quite abruptly, we established a chat alt, "TheNYBG" for a daily chat thread to keep our friends in contact. This is something that isn't possible in xteam chat, as we frequently plan real-life meetups and events. There are a few of us with the password to this account, to make new threads and such, because it isn't really feasible to have only one person do this. We also have a "bumpNYBG" account that is around for only one purpose, bumpin "TheNYBG" thread, it is level 2 I think and has scored close to zero energy since it was created. A few more people have this password.

Please do not close these accounts.

Also, we like to organize, games within a game, like capture the flag, and our 2x2 tournaments. Capture the flag was supported by you all at GA, by making it a sticky thread, unfortunately 2x2 hasn't got the same kind of supports.
We have had to make alts, to allow the smooth operations of these events, and they have had multiple people with the passwords here. A lot of people really like these events, there are many people who just come to watch the 2x2 tourney every night we have it (please come and watch some night chadj) and these shared accounts are crucial to these event. These alts are leveled up to 6 I believe so they can beacon and bring in mages from around the world who are interested in dueling or just watching.

I don't feel any of these accounts violate the spirit of the game, but improve it, by coming up with new ways to enjoy your awesome game (i second comicy when I beg you to build an official dueling arena)

If you feel otherwise, please help us to come up with ways that we can continue to use this social game socially and innovative game innovatively

Thank you


Please do not ban these accounts.

Biffardo wasn't saying that they should change the focus, just that it is a shame that they HAVE to focus on the cheaters.

Thank you for officially addressing our questions and concerns. I'm sure not everyone agrees with your decisions and actions, but it is good for us to at least know your thought process, instead of being left to guess. Appreciated.

(Thanks, Mob, saves the rest of us having to ask)

1 or 2 new gateways should be created for any player whose spawn location doesn't have any surrounded.

Thanks for clearing everything up Chad! I was scared I was in risk of losing this account even though I have quit spoofing. One of the reasons my gameplay has become severely limited.

Thanks for clarifying what's been going on. It's a shame that cheaters have made the game less fun, and have forced GA to spend all this energy on tracking them, but now, let's hope this kind of behavior will lessen dramatically and we can get back to just having fun playing! I haven't been around much lately, as it's just not been fun. But now, maybe I'll jump back in. :-)

Bravo on clarifying things for us, Chad! I heartily applaud GA for coming out on this. I fully support your actions. My only complaint is that this wasn't done sooner.

Now, with this out the way, maybe time for some new content?
