Will TT be doing anything about all the fake serials out there? Making a new serial system for users or some kind of identification system?

I was talking about making a unique id or something for every person that uses tt client and that would solve everything. At least for servers that force everyone to use the tt update.

well you would encrypt the id so no one could change it even if they reinstalled renegade or tried to bypass it. Like giving each user a special install password. They cant install without that password and it would just generate this id. It was just an idea and might take a lot of work. Servers would just kick someone using a name that's under a different id or whatever. It would basically replace renegade serials and we wouldn't even worry about players serial's anymore. This kind of system might have a problem with many people not being able to install the update and drive many players away.
This would solve the gsa and the direct connect problem because they will still have to use the tt client.

Allow one single nickname (or whatever id you want to use) per install. If they want to change nicknames, then they need to reinstall. I bet that even the worst nolifes get sick of reinstalling their game every time they want to bypass a simple nickname ban.

And if various legitimate (clanwars, for example) players want to change names, they can't easily either. Nice idea - better to tie all nicknames used by one install together, so that if one is banned, they all are. (Thus legit players can swap, no-lifes discover all of their 9 nicks are banned and have to reinstall).
Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Not as hilarious as the people claiming they need to have the right to change their nickname. It's a bit like saying you need the right to change your first name in real life... Just a bit of course.
Bear in mind many new games also restrict the amount of nicknames you can use. It's only in Renegade that we have a habit of fucking around on servers, then changing nicks and ip's to bypass a ban.

Actually, that doesn't have anything to do with this, as one can connect to normal WOL only servers as well using DC. You're just lucky that StealthEye made a proper way to check whether the user is on WOL or not and you're being an ass to communities that don't have this.

I'm not the one who isn't releasing it... When exactly was BI's last release?

The group of nicknames will have the same issue though: the problem isn't so much how to limit, and whether it's on nickname, serial, hardware id or whatever else. The problem is preventing players from faking this information. This can't be prevented; it can only be made harder by means of a online registration service or something like that. Making it harder for people to change their id however also makes it harder for new players to register, which we probably want to avoid.

Yeah, exactly. It's people faking their ID that's the real problem. I remember having to deal with that shit alot on a server I was admin of awhile back. People don't realize how annoying just one person can be... let alone hundreds.
