I'm not sure sharing your driver's license number, social security number, credit card number is such a good idea in this environment. How tempted would Sacer be with Chris Warren's credit card number? Not saying he'd abuse it, but how tempted would he be? > > > The only thing I can come up with is money. Charge a one-time fee of $50 for an ID number. You then use that ID number when you log in. Name, password, ID number. Match the ID number with the IP for deeper policing so people don't then re-sell their ID number to others when they quit playing the game. Even this system isn't fool-proof, but it's a start. > > > I'd pay $50 to play CF, especially when I think of all the money CF has saved me when I would otherwise be at Wal-mart or Software ETC. spending 40 bucks a pop on a game that I'd beat in 10 hours.
