Well, as many of you have probably noticed, it seems that a lot of players can no longer access their accounts because only a maximum of 3 accounts per device is now allowed.

What do you think about this decision?

Do you agree with it?

There's a poll above.

What’s the use of more accounts per device? If this is a countermeasure against the bots on forum, I’m in support of it.

There's a new restriction in place. You can try it yourself too, since I know you have more than 40 accounts. You'll see that you won't be able to access them!

I think this is a quite bad decision, because I believe that by deleting many of the multiple accounts people use to compete in various leagues, they're forcing them to pay for VIP in order to compete in those leagues again, quite an ugly move.

I hope they reverse this decision.

I have the same opinion. In my view, this is a huge step backward, and things keep getting worse. Now some people are no longer allowed to play. It's really a shame

I wouldn't have that amount of trouble if we had a deadline to addapt (a month, maybe a week could be understandable), but communication is being very, very opaque since the last two months (no developer blog, no updates regarding the new update).

Just, why?

Good afternoon, all my accounts are in a single league, which I manage personally. I don't use them for anything else; I play alone. I would like to recover my accounts. Thank you.

A user based in Spain created 1000 accounts in a single day a few days ago. 100+ accounts a few days later. Accounts were being used to flood and manipulate the transfers market and to ruin the integrity of the game. If you want to blame someone forcing us to place restrictions on the system, then blame them for abusing the freedoms we offered. Action had to be taken to address what was going on, and someone rightly picked up on my quote from another thread above. It has been on our radar for a while, and we've been watching what they are doing.

There will be exceptions where users have more than 3 accounts that may have a legitimate case to maintain them. Ironically, I expect they will vote 3+ times in this poll too, so I wouldn't trust the results.

I will be happy to consult on whether there is anything we can do to help without unlocking the situation I described above again.

Okay, but I think the limit should be higher. Limiting the accounts that you can use to just 3 accounts really restricts the ability to try out different leagues without being forced to pay for VIP, which most people won't be interested in paying for.

Wouldn't it have been easier to just ban him directly? Now this affects everyone. People just want to play and have fun—they enjoy the game, and now they can't anymore. Sometimes I simply don't understand these decisions.

How many accounts do some of you have? I am willing to grant exceptions, and perhaps we can remove restrictions entirely for some users who are most impacted by this for a time, but I would want them to work back to choosing their 3 most important accounts ideally, not to maintain dozens.

I have the same issue, my friend. I have viewing only league with ton of rules and regulations based on real life F1 since 1980 season. And me and my friends follow it like we would if we watch the real F1. Every single account spend real money over the god knows how many years I've been playing IGP. So it's just stupid to kill the league like this.

But you know what, I'm done. They ruined the league when they removed the "buy now" option as league had drivers contracts and transfers. But I guess this is "hard" kill. Nothing we can do about it.

Since u guys can somehow access IPs, you should be able to ban it directly, there's no need to make aa restriction that ends up killing most active leagues.

I will temporarily disable the limit, as we are in peak hours and I want to ensure everyone can race, but we will be moving to much tighter restrictions because of the incidents in recent weeks.

Also, 3 accounts allows you to race the same as VIP for free. Ironically, it was chosen specifically for that reason, so that this would not be disputed. The incidents described above are the real reason, 1000 accounts in a day is obviously unacceptable, and I would suggest more than 3 is too.

Also, to the person claiming this is to "force VIP" - 3 accounts allows you to race the same as VIP for free, so it isn't that. Ironically, it was chosen specifically for that reason, so that this would not be disputed. The incidents described above are the real reason, 1000 accounts in a day is obviously unacceptable, and I would suggest more than 3 is too.

Yeah, now that I have the information about the person with 1,000 accounts in a day, I see more logic in your decision to implement this restriction. However, I believe you could have also banned this person from creating more accounts and then announced these restrictions over time. By doing it abruptly, too many people have been harmed by this implementation.

You guys are also suspending VIP accounts from what i've heard. Its not like VIPs dont manage more than 3 accounts. Actually its quite normal.

A ban won't stop the behaviour, it will only make them do it again more slowly or with other IPs. When solving it, you have to think also how you would just do it again but differently, so it has to be stopped using more advanced detection, which is what we rolled out.

Anyway, for now, it's reverted. Back to the drawing board.

You still didn't address my and my brother case here. Or you will just ignore these cases?
