Bring back guest accounts... with changes

I read that guest accounts are no longer allowed because they were abused: anonymous trolling and inflating the "players online" count. Fair enough...but I would never have given EE a try if I'd been forced to register first. If we want new players, we need to let people play without an account.

My solution is simple enough; guests are not allowed to edit, and guests don't contribute to the "players online" count.

Agreed. Post this on the blog though because I think Chris checks that more often than forums...

I couldn't agree more. This will just hurt EE's growth. I say, follow Jakery's advice.

Re: Bring back guest accounts... with changes

Ok, here's what I do with guests. I go on "failgirl" and go to one of those biased levels like, "ninja get code" I get the code, then leave. I logout, then log on as a guest, and troll the level. That way it doesn't look like I did it because I am just a guest. Then I also can't get kicked because guests cannot be kicked. I abuse the guest system to troll levels all the time, and that's one other flaw of guests. I can troll levels without people ever knowing who I am.I'll admit it for the sake of change

Yes, but with Jakery's proposal guests won't be able to edit

Guests should have their own world away from the public where other guests can join and experiment.

Re: Bring back guest accounts... with changes

well, this game is called everybody edits, so letting guests not edit is kinda harsh -.-' but its good to prevent trollers, tho i think there has to be another way to prevent guests from trolling, like only let them use the kind of editting in open worlds (so not with GOD mode). and then an autoclicker pretender.

But then you can have like 300+ people in one room. LAG.

And guests can't be visible to anybody and they can't effect the keys/crowns.

Re: Bring back guest accounts... with changes

I say that guests have the ability to edit, but only one block at a time - they cant "drag edit" like in open worlds. Let there be a maximum number of guests in the room, but allow them to affect crowns and keys. All guests should have a temporary name, like in the halo 3 guest system where each name is like doc, porky or, swift or something like that. Since there are only ten guests allowed in a world you would only need ten different names. They would be unavailable for someone to choose as a username and would be assigned upon entry into a world.
Although i think that the "abuse" of guests to raise the player count allows previously unknown worlds to become known.

Re: Bring back guest accounts... with changes

yes but then what if the guest does somehow at least try to troll and does it effect the level like with keys which you want to allow, then what if ppl mistake it for a true registered person? and + if that happenes and another guest comes and gets to use the same name and ppl hate him instead of the troll? I say make guest names only seeable when you press shift and give them a number and a special color like green (as in greenhorn)
OR give them a different smiley that only gests have to make them feel special while letting other players know about the guest.
and btw rooms can hold up to 45 ppl, not 40.

Well, the game may be called "Everybody Edits," but if you are an anonymous guest, you are literally nobody. Register to become somebody, and then you can edit with everybody else. Simple! [head explodes]

Re: Bring back guest accounts... with changes

If you need guests to make your room popular it's probably trash.

Possibly the end to noob rooms?

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.
