Community Suggestion Let us start fresh on an alt account if we disable our main

Suggestion Title: Let us start fresh on an alt account if we disable our main
Suggestion Description: If you require us to deactivate our accounts before we start using the alt they won't have any connections. By allowing us to do this on the forums or by talking to an NPC in game we won't have to bother any staff to have us do it for us.

A way deactivation could work would be that it places a temp ban on our main account and forces us to link the account we're gonna use. That way when we wanna switch back after a while we just deactivate the alt and activate our main again. You might wanna implement a cooldown of sorts of for example 1 hour so you can't place plants and then switch instantly and get 2 planters for free.

When starting an alt account you should not be given the "New Player" tag as long as you have over 72 hours.

Why should this be added?:
- This allows users to switch over to an alt and start all over again. It gets boring when you feel like you've "won" the game and have what feels like an infinite amount of guns and all the cars and money you could've wished for. With an alt you can start all over again by grinding your firearms level and money whilst also trying to get a car.

It doesn't really matter what account you play on as long as you can't play at both at the same time. Fun on the other hand is what matters and it might be fun to some people to start over on a fresh account.

What negatives could this have?:
- Might be a bit of work

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Users will be able to experience the grind again and have something to strive for without "pretending" to be broke.

Understandable, though this would help the ingame economy by a bunch and would give you something to grind for all over again.

Precisely. We need inflation. The prices of cars are not controllled by an economy. Players are getting wealthier and wealthier, with no end in sight. In turns it makes the game more boring.

Levels of jobs and stuff like that could probably be kept through "prestige"

Wouldn't that punish newer players quite hard though? As unless they start paying more, which would bring us back to square one... It'll be a lot harder to be a new player. And that can be tough enough as is as you already have limited access to most things. Gambling for example works as it takes money out of circulation. If you add tickets depending on wealth that could be another way to bring money out of circulation, although it's just an idea and I wouldn't really be for it.

I've never suggested to punish anyone or change anything. Only that a reset would be like a CoD prestige. You keep some of your stuff, but you lose your guns (and levels, which you would not)

The idea of exchanging money or items for rare items is okay but there's only so many rares that can be added before it's just a slog for developers to keep trying to add more and more to keep rich players happy.

I think like stated before, a profile system or some way of choosing which character to play when joining the server would be much better. No need to worry about linking accounts or sharing bans across characters because it's the same account, the bans/warns etc would already be there and it gives players and easy option to just create a new character alongside there current and choose when joining what character they want to play as.

Could even add an option at the City Hall npc to "Go on vacation" which would just be an RP way of saying I want to swap to my other character.

Yep, this would work just fine I think.
