Means somebody well use proxy address or remake the dual log/fast relog cheat program which modify fonline.exe and was able to open a new window with multiple .bat files.
In practice it wasn't that common the .bat method, only small player cells used this to actually provide multiple combat characters. If someone used it, then it wasn't something that plays a huge roll on some larger scale, whole factions weren't forced on the same level, like now.
Proxies aren't usable for this.
It's a bit difference when you have to fight a faction witch has 2 times more alts than you or fight the same team who has few members "cheating", providing some extra-alts through .bat files, sure, shame on them, but they aren't going to affect much and in general the common player out there will be able to participate in PvP activities with 1 character.
Yeah, well FR CD isn't perfect, but it is better than nothing.
Look best option is to give everybody same advantage do not think ban hammering everybody who use fast relogs and dual logs solves anything.
This is a common misconception, everyone doesn't have the same advantage, because there is no limit for it. The faction who has more alts has the advantage, your back on square one, generally players win if they have more alts, more equipment, more, it is much more than ever about numbers than it ever was.
It's when a larger faction of more players use more alts than a faction with less players, per player.
Swarm, swarming has taken a whole new level.
Hell if I know, but what's certain is that there will be people doing it. It's common knowledge that if there's something you can do to gain advantage over others, it will be used. If the players are tempted to cheat, it shouldn't be surprising that some will do it.
Oh yeah sure, you was playing clean and you were annoyed that players cheat, but you have no idea who it was?
Please, tell me was it specifically of FR? Or was it those dual-log's + proxies etc. etc. because those 2 different things.
