Line 164: == Account and character handling == ~~[20:49] <hendrikus>~~ In the next version there will be a change to the way accounts are handled ~~[20:50] <hendrikus>~~ Currently an account has exactly one character. ~~[20:50] <hendrikus>~~ So I have two accounts: hendrikus and hendrik. In the next version it will be possible to have multiple characters in one account. [20:50] <hendrikus> (In fact, I have 15 accounts on various test servers.) ~~[20:51]~~ ~~<hendrikus>~~So InI ~~the~~can ~~next~~login ~~version~~as itaccount ~~will~~"hendrikus" beand ~~possible~~then toI ~~have~~can ~~multiple~~select the characters in"hendrik" ~~one~~or ~~account~~"hendrikus". ~~[20:51] <hendrikus> storyteller, yes,~~ there will be a function which can merge old accounts.▼ [20:51] <killerm> exelent ~~[20:52]~~ ~~<hendrikus> No, i~~I can login "hendrik" and "hendrikus" at the same time.▼ [20:51] <omero> hey this is a nice new featyure ~~[20:52] <hendrikus>~~ The reason behind this is to make the account-dropdown list less crowded.▼ [20:51] <hendrikus> So I can login as account "hendrikus" and then I can select the characters "hendrik" or "hendrikus". * And there will be a new page variant of on the hall of fame: [http://stendhalgame.org/world/hall-of-fame/friends_overview.html Me and my friends] [20:51] <storyteller> can you put your old characters to one account then? [20:51] <tigertoes> will only one be playable at a time? ▲[20:51] <hendrikus> storyteller, yes, there will be a function which can merge old accounts. [20:51] <storyteller> Okay [20:52] <moonligth> :) ▲[20:52] <hendrikus> No, i can login "hendrik" and "hendrikus" at the same time. [20:52] <superkym> tigertoes, no [20:52] <tigertoes> ok [20:52] <Oslsachem> will fast user switching be feasible in the future? ▲[20:52] <hendrikus> The reason behind this is to make the account-dropdown list less crowded. [20:53] <storyteller> Ah, what I wanted to mention... What is about this reconnect- thing? [20:53] <hendrikus> And there will be a new page variant of on the hall of fame: [20:53] <hendrikus> "Me and my friends". [20:53] <storyteller> Some minutes ago I lost connection for 10 seconds or so [20:53] <superkym> Can we please listen to what is already possible and planned and even coded, first? [20:53] <hendrikus> If someone wants to work on reconnect, feel free to do so. [20:53] <superkym> Then add ideas later> [20:54] <storyteller> Okay, Kym [20:54] <hendrikus> So in the next version, after logging in, there will be a dialog to chose one of your characters. [20:55] <hendrikus> You can go to the website and merge your accounts there. [20:55] <tigertoes> is this a personal choice kind of thing? [20:55] <Oslsachem> what password will prevail? [20:55] <tigertoes> ie, if i wish to keep all my accounts separate, can i? [20:55] <hendrikus> It will be possible to play multiple characters at the same time. So you can idle in bank with one character and fight with another.▼ [20:55] <hendrikus> tigertoes, yes you can. [20:55] <superkym> tigertoes, there is no obligation to do it [20:56] <tigertoes> ok [20:56] <superkym> but you will see there will be advantages, i think [20:56] <hendrikus> tigertoes, if you do nothing, they will be kept seperate. If you want to merge them, you have to get active. ▲[20:55] <hendrikus> It will be possible to play multiple characters at the same time. So you can idle in bank with one character and fight with another. [20:56] <killerm> I wonder players can use two at once or just one at a time [20:56] <axelf> less passwords to remember is a great advantage i think [20:56] <superkym> killerm: they can use two at once [20:56] <tigertoes> :) [20:57] <hendrikus> The webpage on http://stendhalgame.org for account merging, will ask you to login into one account. Then it will ask you for username and password of the account to merge in. [20:57] <hendrikus> The username/password of the first account will stay, Oslsachem. [20:57] <tigertoes> so this can be abused by those who have already exchanged passwords :( [20:57] <hendrikus> Of course the page is not up yet, we will publish it after the next release. [20:5857] <tigertoes> so this can be abused by those who have already exchanged passwords causing support issues :( [20:58] <superkym> tigertoes, we have thought of this, and that we need to store old values *[20:58] <hendrikus> Passwort sharing is forbidden anyway and there is a high risk to get a permanent ban.
