Character System/Multiple Accounting

[Richard.]

Title says it all, perhaps we can have a proper character system where you can be a totally different player, skin, status and so on.
Or maybe allow us to have alt accounts without the ability to buy houses/businesses with it.
I myself would love to play as a cop sometimes and try something new, but I can't because of my notoriety.

So yeah, maybe you can allow us(players) to have 2 accounts or maybe make a proper character system where we can have totally different roles/stats.

Personally I'd like to see:

 - Revamped notoriety (treat it as a currency, and not lose any upon death)
 - Allowing of notorious people to go on duty
 - Allowing of members of criminal groups to go on duty (unless their leader forbids it)
 - Removal of /characters in its entirety

Would also solve the problem.

People have to lose their notoriety some how Julio, if you don't lose it upon dying by cops then it would be too op. Let's not get away from the main topic...

I like the current system. Makes death something to fear. Wish cops had something similar so they would be less inclined to rambo.
 

- Allowing of notorious people to go on duty

Would be a way to avoid the bounty on notorious people's head, assuming the current system is kept. Other than that I can't see any issues.

- Allowing of members of criminal groups to go on duty (unless their leader forbids it)

Already implemented for a week or so.

- Removal of /characters in its entirety

I quite like the command. Allows me to be someone else for a while, so as to not be afraid to /gu to FBI in fear of some bullshit court case that aims to wipe half my assets.

Sometimes im bored of being criminal i wanna go as a cop but my character wont allow me so maybe this idea will work having 2 characters or 2 account because we all want to play as a cop sometimes
supported.

Alright. On topic:

Not interested in a system like this, same person behind the screen, therefore separation by script is as ineffective as a chocolate teapot.

The way i see this should be done is to create a master account system which will be the account which the characters will be placed under, and instead of using some in game command, there should be added a menu from the start before spawning to create and choose a character it's gender and so on, so all of the characters will be linked to the master account.

Clancker, I wanted to say that for a long time, I'm glad someone else has the same thoughts in mind. Unfortunatly the current script forces me to use in-game commands, which I forgot to do whenever I crash. Which, in this scenario, led to me being sued as mayor when I was on my default character.

All in all, I'm all in for Clancker's idea.

[Khm]

That idea is great yeah but I don't think it's feasible. It probably needs the core of the server itself to be changed.

Can we have some of the HQ members share their opinion here?

What does the character someone portrays have anything to do with who is actually behind it? Seems like a bad comparison to me.


I remember vividly speaking about this with someone in the dev team (current or former, whichever). A large portion of the account script (and I'd assume others) would need a total redo to use Clancker's idea, which while a good idea isn't really something of a priority. Unless there is some way to monitor multiple accounts without them being connected in the database / script, any other idea is just prone to abuse in some form.

Absolutely nothing, but seeing as the player behind the screen separates the characters mentally, you may as well allow free RP without a characters based script, ie, by removing the criminal/cop based restrictions.

I don't support the idea, you can't be two persons at same time, let's just not.........
