I can at least speak for my own TZ accounts, and that was no account was shared. Only one person had access to that account at any time. It was purchased membership for only one player when in use. I believe it was the same with bloodyrain, but I can not be certain on that as it was not mine.

Quote from WyzDM

That's why there are free trials. You're offering no incentive to purchase the complete empire set by letting anyone use it for free.

I can't totally agree with this. People will sometimes only give out money once they know it will be 'well spent', and the 5 free Chaos trials are nothing - especially when a few get wasted on people deliberately rage quitting because you're using Chaos. Perhaps over all it still hurts the game, but it will also bring in revenue when people, having tested on a premium account, then go and buy because they're satisfied with what they're buying.

They're not going to buy it if they're satisfied playing it for free. Look at Pumu, either he or someone else is looking for yet another account. What good is this doing? Nothing.

The hard facts are the ones who share and play it for free don't look to purchase it. Explain to me why this should continue and how it supports anything.

I agree with wyz about most things. The reason someone might want to start a shared account could be so that people will know what it's like to play the premium empires. But like WyzDM said, it's not helping them buy membership, what's going to stop them from playing free membership?

This is true. If you can get access without paying, people will avoid it. Besides, the thread is on pumu - is anyone surprised?

Not at all. Instead I wonder why would one share an account.

The thread is actually on iamxsos, which at least half a dozen peeps have the password too. That's why I'm not surprised. It doesn't appear to be pumu, but since he hasn't come in here to validate anything we'll never know.

Oh well, guess he's not #1 anymore anyway.

Anyways, I'm quite suprised imxsos isn't all pumu. But I think the guy who's number 1 is pumu, when I faced him after a match when he was still number 1, I talked with him a bit and he talked a lot like the pumu in these forums.
You know.
just like this.
saying one thing and then using a period instead of a comma.
which results in really short sentences.
or really long ones.
But I don't know for sure, that's just what I think.

Quote from Usman

Actually ImxSoS was actually made for sos as a whole but then only some ppl played and khan actually made it go high so pumu just kept it a bit organized, he didnt start from the beginning or didnt even do this all by himself

Since hes in ET now shouldn't he lose access?

I don't know why people say he's #1, i've beat his ele more times than he's beat my order. He's still really good though.

Well if what you said is true, him being able to manage it at number 1 is still means he's very good. I just want to know if he is or isn't number 1, seems like people are disagreeing with me, I can't tell.

Thats why people are saying how ratings are not accurate.

Imxsos should just be shut down because sos is dead.

I kinda get it now. I'm not in a clan so I don't understand these kind of things very well. I must sound stupid. :/
