You know, energy is pretty annoying at times, but its not too bad. That's not what this topic is about.
This topic is about energy limitations in certain situations. You see, me and my brother share a computer. However, we both have different accounts on Spiral Knights. Each use a different e-mail.
I don't know why, but something with using the same computer seems to have caused a problem.
Let's say I get on and have 100 energy. Let's say my brother also has 100 energy. I log on, I spend, say, 30 energy, leaving me at 70. I quit the game completely. A few minutes later, my brother gets on and logs in to his account. Guess how much energy he has? 70.
So now, here I am, trying to make as many crowns as possible so I can continue crafting, and for some reason our energy is shared between accounts. The accounts are on different e-mails and everything, so why do we share energy?
Honestly, I find this a bit ridiculous. If this is some way for them to limit my playtime, then its a bit overboard. I mean, I'm not going to play on my brother's account. That gets me nowhere. Just because we use the same computer doesn't mean we should be limited.
I'm not entirely sure why it's set up this way, but a quick 75 cent energy purchase will separate the accounts.
I think it's really just to stop people from gaming the system with a bunch of free accounts.
