EA: nu 5 verschillende spelers met 1 account

Lucy Bradshaw heeft in dit topic op het Amerikaanse forum gereageerd op alle commotie van de laatste tijd over maar 1 account per Spore-spel.

Maxis heeft besloten om het een en ander te veranderen: je kunt nog maar 1 account aanmaken per spel maar wel 5 namen hebben zodat er per huishouden dus 5 mensen kunnen spelen met hun eigen spel.

Er zijn wel wat beperkingen, zoals dat alle 5 spelers in hetzelfde heelal spelen en downloads meteen bij alle spelers terecht komen, de achievements is voor 5 spelers en niet PER speler, daar is een update van het spel voor nodig (lees patch).

Meer details vindt je hieronder in de post van Lucy en in het bovengenoemde topic waar ze ook een Q&A heeft neergezet.

Hi Spore Players,

First, we want to thank you for your responses and feedback to my posting from Friday regarding Online Accounts and clarifying how things work. We’re listening and we want to announce some changes that we are making based on your feedback.

We are going to add the ability to have multiple Spore Screen Names for any one Spore Online Account. Here’s how this will work: for each copy of Spore that you have purchased, you will be able to have one Spore Online Account, just as it is now. However, we will be adding the ability to have five Spore Screen Names for that account. When you launch Spore, you will be able to log in with any of those Screen Names.

The content that is made and the MySpore Page will be associated with the logged in Screen Name for that account. Each Screen Name will be able to view and create content, Buddy Lists and Sporecasts that will be tied to that Screen Name. The Achievements earned will be credited to the Screen Name that is logged in at the time the Achievement is triggered. In the first iteration of this change, all Screen Names will be playing in the same Galaxy and any content downloaded by any Screen Name will be available in the Everything section.

We will be putting the ability to add Screen Names to a Spore Online Account on our website. If you already have the game, and want to add new Screen Names to your account you will be able to do so there.

We felt that this was a good step in the right direction to begin to respond to the feedback you have given us and evolve Spore (not with an extra set of arms in this case but definitely using our DNA points for the better good). We are aggressively working on this now; we will get back to you with more information on timing as soon as possible.

Lucy

Ik hoop dat EA Nederland nog een vertaling online zet.
