This is interesting for users who have alot of mule accounts so I thought that I'd like to share this and discuss it here.

What do you think about Gaia putting all accounts into one? What would you like to see being done?

Here's the link to it: Mule Feedback

I'm one of the apparent minority with only one account, so I don't think it would affect me. That said, if they set up something with a shared inventory, I'd definitely create another character.

I think it should be a choice. I hate how Gaia automatically makes a big change without confronting us beforehand. I like the rare chance where they give us a little freedom and let us decide.
But if that's the case, if they will make it optional, I wouldn't. I don't have any specific reasons why, I just wouldn't.

If done correctly, they could eliminate the need for mules completely. (crosses fingures) They'll have to hit alot of bases tho.

My main concern is that IF they put all mules in one, would we then have only 1 log in & password, then choose which username to be logged in as? Cause I don't want hackers to take this as an opportunity. I'd rather keep my accounts seperate.

I'll give my opinion once you can cite a source where a dev actually says they're thinking about merging our accounts, rather than just connecting them to make switching from one to the other easier.

This is an interesting topic. Thanks for the link Uranus. As for where I stand on a account merger I suppose it could be handy but only if done properly.

I am old member of Neopets, and it sound like they may form a similar log in system.

You have your member-name (which would be different from your avatar name.) When you log-in you would do so my user name not avatar name, and the next screen would confirm your current avatar. If it is correct you type in your password and you are on Gaia. Then if you wanted to change avatars, it could be done so under preferences/ setting.

But as said it should be each users going to combine or keep separate.

They can't help but to make it a choice. After all, how would they know the same person is behind each mule account?

So long as they don't lock in your names as you change them (for example, one GS Sailor Moon can pass the name over to another user), then it would be fine, I guess.

I definitely don't want to use the friends list sharing function, because that would cause overcrowding. If you have a single account user as a friend, that person might be irritated at having seven or eight versions of you on their friends list (and it would need to be a mutual agreement to friend each and every account). And my Sailor Cronus account has six pages of friends, whereas I have other accounts with different friends. In a way, I feel that this organizes things a little. I'm a little more inclined to friend villains on my villain account, Sailor Scouts on my Sailor Scout accounts, and non-Senshi on my non-Senshi accounts. Not that I've made those exclusive, but still.

Plus, in the case of guild-specific mules (Sailor Donation-types), I'd leave those seperate as well.

There's a lot of things there that are irking... and it has to be a choice...considering.

However easier trading between mules would be epic, among some other things.

Copying over the friendslist is something I kinda want to do for certain accounts, but pick and choose, as not everyone needs to be connected to each of my ... (many many) mules.
