This is one of those out of the box suggestions i love seeing

if it wasnt for the unfortunate way that IP limitations affect brothers/sisters/roommates and that proxies can potentially cirumvent something like this anyway, i think it could be really great in some ways, but also terrible in others.

Some method that doesnt envolve IP restrictions would have to be the way to go, and i dont know what it could be

Either way, i just wanted to say that i really like your way of thinking!

Read my thread for some methods.

I would say red skull after attacking someone and being logged in in wild with another forum char. If one forum char has red skull all have red skull. Same effect of regular skull. Lasts 60 mins. Just to show people that if they fuck with you or see you, you may be multi and they might need assistance. Same would go for setting a player then logging in during combat on another char your skull turns red and the above applies. May go with more situations. Does not for sure mean the player is multi, could be pking on 1 char and training afk on another. Just shows they have more than one char in wild to help new pkers to not fight the wrong person and hate pking forever... Fair?

This, but op its not a bad idea!

Still doesn't solve getting piled 3v1,, oh no I have a red skull, well you probably gonna win anyway

, if im not mistaken ip is different per computer so this won't effect people at friends houses, and using proxies to avoid a red skull woukd count as 3rd party software for gain..

If you are on a router that nats (which most are as you are only given 1 ip from your ISP), it nats (network address translation) the public ip to a private range, 10.x.x.x or 172.16.x.x or 192.168.x.x etc.  These ranges are not routable online which is why you can have a network of 10 computers all using the same public ip.

Example, me and my brother were playing one of the 3 survivals.  Afterwards, Mod Billy pulled us to the jail to check it out as he saw 2 people on the same IP, brother on his phone, me on my PC, both on the home network.
