Single Account Rule

Here’s my take;

I really enjoy the one account limitation. 

On lioden, if you don’t have two accounts, you can’t get double the event items like everyone else. A lot of those events have reward shops that you can only have access to one at a time, so with two accounts you could effectively get the best of both worlds. It feels excessive and makes having to choose a reward shop pretty pointless if you can just get access to the other on another account. 

Now, obviously we don’t have events here on wolvden yet and can’t say for sure how they will work, or if they will work similarly to Lioden events.  I just really enjoy that having one account sort of keeps everyone on a level playing field, and there’s no pressure to make another just to “keep up”. Things just feel so much more balanced here on wolvden, in terms of that stuff. 

Maybe, someday, we can have multiple packs per account? Just a side thought. I don't mind having one account. Probably wouldn't make two if it was an option. 

Edit: just read the post above mine and I totally would make two accounts for extra loot.

I completely agree with Korvius that allowing two accounts creates a disbalance in the economy and between players. Users with lots of free time and money will already get ahead of everyone even with just one account, but with 2 they'll become mini-monopolies inside WD. And sure, It's nice to be able to choose your playstyle like that, but this logic can be applied to other things too. Why do all exploring by yourself, let's just make botting legal and make a bot explore for you. People who like exploring can still do it on their own, right? Sure, but it still creates a disbalance and pressure to "keep up", as was said before me.

Agreed with all the arguments for single accounts, especially those around moderation difficulties and letting players 'freeze' things. I'm generally all for letting games suit different playstyles but I feel letting people bypass the rollover mechanic is too large an allowance; a player who really wants that might want to seek a petsite that doesn't have death/rotting mechanics in the first place. Seconding what @hydde said about botting too.

Another way to word the pressure to keep up is that if the options to freeze things and/or have double loot are there, it makes not doing those things feel like a self-imposed challenge instead of how the game was intended to be played. Having two accounts would become the default playstyle for anyone getting more invested in the game, not just players without much time that need a boost, and how do the devs design things with that in mind without penalising people who don't play that way?

I can understand being disappointed when lioden allowed two accounts, though! I just really prefer single accounts myself.
