Side Account Option

whitefire • 21 October 2012 at 12:01 PM

I think it would be great if there was an option to make a side account when you start. Like, there would be two boxes/bubbles that you could check for your account. One would say, "I would like to make a side account for my already existing account," then it would explain what a side account is. The other would say, "I would like to create a regular account," then explain what a main account is. If you click the box for a side, then the screen changes from the first one, and you have to enter the username for your main account, as well as the password and e-mail. Then it'll give you a random Cave creature when you hit "Create account," and it will remove the Asteroid, Cave, CSP, and Adoption Center from the tool bar. You will still be able to post in the Forums and do everything else from your side, but this ensures that nobody can cheat and steal anyway. And maybe there can be an option to transfer creatures to your side account, so that the TC isn't always cluttered up with storage trades. I don't know.
Opinions?

@whitefire asked me to add this to the discription:
There should be a way to turn an account into a side for users who, for example, have friends that quit and are now using their friends old account as a side.

@Mib666666 I don't think it's really complicated... I mean, you don't have to go through the trouble of naming your account, or choosing your egg, or naming your egg... And possibly, you don't have to go through the trouble of "trading" your creatures back and forth through your side accounts, either.

@whitefire
I think it would be easier if you could create your side account with the same email as you main. And as well, it would remove the options so there is no cheating.

@Whispers Ah! I forgot to add in the e-mail part!

mib666666 • 21 October 2012 at 12:08 PM

@whitefire true. I guess I just missunderstood you a bit. but you should be able to somehow make an account a side account because my friend quit and now her account is my side

@Mib666666 That sounds good, too. You should suggest it, because there's not enough room left here.

@whitefire This is something that I would really appreciate as a feature on the website. It'd be one of the larger things to work on, but it would be worth it.

@Meteoroid Thanks!

mib666666 • 21 October 2012 at 12:12 PM

@whitefire I agree with @Meteoroid, a feature like this would be amazingly awesome.

@OrderedChaos Thanks!
