Multiple Account Rule Update
July 22, 2013
An important change has been made to a rule regarding ‘alt accounts’. The reasoning behind this change was that the previous rule was very lax and made it hard to monitor potential cheaters. Previously a high level player could make a new account, not play on the previous account, and play in Division 6 anonymously. This led to many false AC Requests that meant we had less time to catch potential cheaters! The new rule prevents this.
The new rule states:
2.6 No account sharing and multi accounts
Every player is limited to only one ETF2L account at any time. A person creating multiple accounts or multiple players using one account is not allowed. Multiple players from the same household (family, close friends, roommates, …) that may be sharing the same IP address must notify admins and use seperate ETF2L and Steam accounts.
Players caught creating multiple ETF2L accounts or allowing use of their Steam account to a third party in official matches may face punishment ranging from deactivation of the account to reversal of match results and a major warning for fraud or a league ban. Each case will be reviewed individually and penalties will be assigned based on severity of the offense and its impact on the competition. If you wish to change the attached Steam ID of your ETF2L account, contact admins and they will change it for you.
Every player has until Monday 19th August to report any alt accounts and any ETF2L account that will regularly log in with the same IP (eg. brother’s ETF2L account). Contact an admin here.
