can i have 2 companies?

Post by Guest » 23.09.2007, 10:21

I dont really understand why you cant have more than 1 company. I wanna start another one and my 2 companies wont trade so there s no cheating. The new company will buy coins and be active in the forums/help others and help the community in other ways. I dont see any negative sides here. SO let us have max 2 companies 8)

Are you serious? Please tell me you aren't serious.

you can buy coins with your actual company, and you can help other players yet. no reason to have a second company.

:roll:

Because, it opens (at the very least) an unfair advantage over other players who only have one company.

Let's say we allow you to have two companies. You could have one company (Company A) produce all of the base products you need and sell them to your other other company (Company B) at a price less than market. Company B will then be able to finish the production (if needed) and sell the product at a much higher cost (or market cost). This result in you being able to maximize building slots that others don't have.

Everyone has the same number of building slots to work with on the current system. You get more if you are a VIP member. Everyone can also expand the current building slots to the maximum size of buildings.

Allowing individuals to have more than one company creates more problems than it is worth.

I already said the 2 companies wont trade with each other. Are you blind?

No, I am not blind. But, just because you said they aren't going to trade with each other doesn't mean that someone else isn't going to try to do it. If this were to be allowed, how would you propose this be regulated to prevent it from happening?

Also, what are the benefits? What could you do with two companies that you can't do with the one company that you already have? Based upon your initial post, I don't see the reason to have a second company.

I can try out other industries. Besides they have software that detects trades between different IP s etc. If people wanna cheat they wont be able to stop it anyway. The cheaters will just use bouncers and other IPs. I will always have the same IP for both of my companies and when I try to trade the kapi cheating system will let them know that 2 companies from the same IP are trading.

So if people wanna have more than 1 company and cheat there s no way to stop it so the rule is pretty much pointless. I just dont understand why regular players cant have 2 companies that wont be involved with each other.

You could try setting up a company in one of the german servers. The third world only started on Friday.

As for the reason why we shouldnt have two accounts, cause the game designers have to draw the line somewhere, if we have 2 per a person what stopping us from getting 3 or 4, which will probably never be used effectively.

well its in german and 2 accounts isnt 5

Well two accounts is a step towards five. Have a look at other online text based games that allow more than one account per a person and the quality of those games, and see if the gameplay is still fair.

As for the German server, each is to their own, I play despite the fact I dont know any german.

You can have another company but u cannot trade.
U have already mesioned that.
But i guess managing 2 companies is a big probs.
But u are already helping people with 1 company!
With the second it will be tuff!
U need to log in everyday in both and if by mistake u trade u might be chucked out!
I guess u should not open another!
But u can have one!

*shaking head, wonderning*

Varg, if you want to try other businesses, sell all you gas producing business and build up something else. I am sure that it must be very boring to produce gas, all the time and nothing else.

You can have a second company if you want to: Just get yourself a second e-mail adress and open up a new company. No one can ever tell that it

The rule that says you can only have one account/company is a basic rule that counts for everyone. If you want the kapi-team to start changing the basic rules, then how should they set the limit for what basic rules to change and what not to.
There will allways be someone who wants a rule changed, so the kapi-team will ave to stand their ground, so they dont loose control over the game.
