Today i found out that this game is based on Ip tracking and monitoring so I thought that it would be a much smarter idea if the game was based on MAC addresses because that is like you finger print for the networking world and no matter how much you try you cant change it the only way you can change it is If you get a completely different network interface card know as a "NIC" card also its too expensive for people to keep buying NIC cards when they are banned

To get a MAC from IP you would need to be on the same subnet or have some kind of Trojan program on the victims computer cause the MAC (Layer 2) is not routable on the internet (layer 3 & up). MAC addresses are not usually transmitted across the Internet... brad will need an application that will extract it and transmit it. It is possibly players would not be too keen with what might be seen as spyware. It is VERY difficult to restrict players to a single account for an online game. IP addresses are about the only way that you can hope to even get close to this but nothing is not fool proof

	To change your MAC address in Linux (and most *nix system) is not hard. All it takes is two easy to script commands

	if brad banned all my accounts, blocked my IP, and some how got my mac address off a trojan and blocked that too... I would be back on a new account new ip new mac address in under 5 minutes if I wanted to be.
