Linked Accounts

Started By

Attention, Attention: To make it easier for everyone to keep from "cheating" or "sharing" things on the same IP address, there will be a new feature added. You can now LINK up to 2 accounts on the same IP and that will be the only account on your IP that you can send items to. For example: Sue and Joanna both play Alacrity. Both have 2 accounts and they share a computer. Sue will be able to link her 2 accounts together, and will no longer be able to send items to Joanna. And the reverse will be the same as well. Isn't this a great feature?? You won't have to worry about accidentally sending something to a sibling or significant other and chance getting in trouble for it. Look for the addition to your profile page! Coming soon.

i have already done this and its so cool!

That's fine Roz. :-) Unfortunately, if you want to be able to send things to your side account, you will have to set them. Otherwise, you can't send anything to either account from the other.

It can be changed via the Issue Hub by an admin. :-) So it CAN be changed, just not by yourself.

What if you want to sell an account but they're already linked?

Avianahelena unless you want to give me their social security numbers, who is to say they are your siblings/family/etc? Unfortunately a bad apple ruins the bunch. =/

I don't understand. I thought the purpose of the IP rule was that one person cannot have more than two accounts, not that we couldn't send things to relatives or significant others.

Okay thank you ^^ i was just worried it would be very very permanent xD

If you submit an issue to the mod panel they can escalate to admin and we can reset, yes. :)

Look on your profile, scroll down. <img src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a15/Tigerjody/Alacrity/setside.png" border="0">

So i have a question o.o I just recently bought a new account, but if i have already set my side account to my current account how in the world is that going to work D= Will there be a kind of 'reset'? I was hoping to try to sell my side since i'm getting a new one, but if it's linked no one would want it...
 
 
*this is assuming you get this working before i get my new account* xD

This is an awesome, AWESOME feature. Thanks to Rob and Wysper and everyone who's made it possible! C: â™¥

Just verified, yes, there is a bug and it's not working as intended. Rob will fix them as soon as she's back at her computer.

ok side and main are set and i still cant send from ether act?

12-22-2010 at 2:49 AM

Perhaps there should be a choice to change it from 'side' to 'main' account...?

12-22-2010 at 2:42 AM

It's set on both accounts, correctly, but I continue to experience this problem when trying to send to my side.

12-22-2010 at 2:40 AM

The linked account has to be set before you can send anything to the side. If there is NO side account stated, then you can't send to ANY account on the same IP. So, whatever is set as your side account, is the ONLY one you can send to on the IP.

12-22-2010 at 2:32 AM

...In the meantime, how are we to send between accounts? I am continually getting the error message (which I've never gotten before), even though it's set correctly in my profile.

12-22-2010 at 2:32 AM

The Rules will be amended. There really should be no sharing of anything.
