pros and cons of having master account - ingame - doreto - 23.04.2014

Can someone tell me pros and cons of having masters account (in-game),each containing character slots. One of the pros is not having to make several account and you can easily remember it, but cons is that this can be "exploited" in way that will bring more resources (money,scores or other values) than normally.
What are you pros and cons of having one master account with character slots?

Not correct unless you for some reason create the system that way (I have no idea why you would)

Each account has seperate statistics but is connected to an account based of email (or username) which allows easier managment, the ability to link accounts to a main one and easier distribution of information to players (via email, ect)

There are more pro's and I actually see no cons if done right.

I have no cons of the master account system, in fact I use it on my server. Makes things to much easier and simpler imo.

pros -
You can log in the server with the same name and switch between differently named characters.

Administration becomes much easier. Finding the responsable of certain actions, and knowing the "master account" of that character. You could limit the number, so you can only have one account per player.

Statistics become more flexible, you can make cool things with it such as "total account wealth" or display the playing hours under all the characters combined, for more accurate display of certain stats.

cons -
Not very useful. In a small-scale project like SA:MP, master accounts do not bring it any other benefit. You could do the same by learning how to store and read IPs between accounts, and the only good thing for the player is not having to write another name when they want to switch characters.

If you have a ready script, converting the system can become complex for the less experienced coders. You will have to learn how to convert ALL your script so it adapts to this new system.
