Shared Energy and Why I Don't Think It's a Good Idea

OKay. I just started playing this game through Steam in the last week. I love it. I didn't even mind the energy system with mist recharge rates. Though the price in Crowns for crystal energy REALLY needs to go down. I know it's player controlled but it takes me two days to afford 100ce. But that isn't the issue I want to talk about here.

The issue I want to talk about is that all knights on one account share energy. For me this is really annoying and severely limits the fun I can have with this game. I wanted to start a second knight and operate the two in shifts. One for a few hours during the day and one for a few hours during the night. Imagine my surprise when my new knight can't even make it to Haven because I'd spent my energy on the first knight to upgrade a weapon.

I propose that mist be separate for each knight in one account and crystal energy be shared. That way you can explore and gather materials for all knights but still have to be patient for things like weapon/armor alchemy since the crystal energy is shared between up to three knights. Also makes sense seeing as how each knight has his own armor from which mist regens. The game would be so much more fun like that and the way it is now just kills a good bit of the fun...at least that's what I believe.

CE is separate per character

CE is separate per character because its what OOO sells, each character needing energy means more potential business for OOO (even if it's bought via crowns). ME is only for getting started and not something meant to continue perpetually per character

also note that each account will also share energy unless you buy energy on one of those accounts that account will have a separate mist tank from the other account

Paid Account

If mist was completely separate for all knights, there'd be millions of dummy knights whose sole purpose is to spend their mist energy on crafting and buying upgrades to transfer to the main knight or sell to other players. This is also why separate free accounts played from the same computer share mist energy. Otherwise, anything tradeable would pretty much automatically cost 100 energy less, because it would always be bought on a free dummy account and transferred.

However (according to wiki), PAID accounts have separate mist energy. So if you really want to play two knights, you could buy the cheapest energy package for $2.49, and then create a separate (free) account that will have a separate mist pool. You can then trade off between them however you see fit, even if that's the only purchase you ever make.

That seems like a reasonably equitable middle ground to me.
