[QUOTE="questing gm, post: 4358623, member: 24003"] Forked from: [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/showpost.php?postid=4349182] How will WOTC prevent "group" memberships to DDI? [/url] I think it would be much more economical for a whole group to subscribe to one DDI account and it seems that WoTC wouldn't really have a way to stop that. I think it's possible because if my group ever decides to subscribe to DDI, I don't think my players would use it as often as I would (as their DM). This got me thinking. Would players really be using the DDI features just as much as DMs? The D&D compendium I can understand, but having one person's laptop (presumably the DM's) connected to it while the game is running would probably be enough instead of having the whole group logging onto it. (Again, it's not even a rules compendium, just a a quick 'cheat' sheet). The D&D character builder? It's only a one-off use feature that the players will use during character generation and then their done with it until the next character generation. Dragon and Dungeon could be shared among the group so I don't see why a group (who are willing to share an account together) would want to hog it all for themselves with an individual account. So really, is there any feature that a player would want to have full access, on their leisure, to themselves more than the DM that justifies a full individual subscription? If not, why would players subscribe to a personal account if they can get the same benefits as a group (and it being more cheaper) when DMs are the ones that are actually subscribing to DDI ? Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
