Universal Player Passport

It's a kind of ID which contains information on all your accounts on all servers

ie

Name : Random Player
Servers: Q - yes
Main - yes
Chaos - No , this shows what servers the player uses

Supporter Status? - Q-SS
Main - MSS , shows weither or not player has SS


the above would be available to see for all players(?)

would have links to bases of players accounts (available only to player)

there would be a Market like in-game allowing conversion of goods across servers, factoring in a conversion factor and cost, based upon the constantly changing black market costs.

Also a private broker system would exist allowing trade to other players in other servers.

This suggestion would allow banning cheats across ALL servers in the event of cross server cheating, as the players passport ID would be the only thing needing to be banned!

I have seen this being used on other MMORPG's and it works well

i suppose its an ok idea, i dont really play q and chaos anymore and use them for trades so this way i could use them better without having to trade. but you see, therein lies the problem, it would (most likely) eliminate almost all cross server trading. AND multis could further benifit

ah but u just introduce below average exchange rates, to encourage player-player cross server deals.

but u see all the accounts would have to be on the same ID, with an allowance of up to 4 accounts (4 servers counting ascended) so to have multies the person would HAVE to create another player passport, which would be easy to pick up on, as the IP adresses would be the same

bad Idea, that means you can use this idea to mass others in other servers if you can... also if you mean that you can catch the multi so easly, consider they can be "brothers on the same computer", also players can make multi's on other computers, not at home... or they don't have static ip so that means they just turn off modem and turn on again and ip is different.

also better if you may not know anything about other people, cause some don't want to show their statistics if they have got an account on >> chaos / main / quantum <<

bad idea. some people like to keep the servers seperate and dont want actions on chaos to have repurcussions on main. this would make that very difficult for those people if i understand it correctly.

good points, however it could be an option to allow people to view the names on your ID, allowing hidden and others to continue threatening as they wish

horrible idea IMO

all of the servers already have too much influence on each other... this would just encourage more people to play other servers just to boost their main account.

yet with this suggestion that would not be necessary and scams between servers would be reduced

i dont like it, the servers are sperate and are not supposed to be used just for boosting main, they are there to allow you to play more games, there no reasons for them to be linked, no reason for actions in one game to lead to another , these do happen...alot...but nether the less it should not be an official game implementation.
