Blocking people that interact with someone else using the same cell phone provider that uses the same IP - its not a blanket ban on cell phone usage.

First, which is it?? I thought I understood the premise - which was just to inhibit same user activity. The side effect being that different users playing from same location would have issues if they targetted the same provinces. Are we to believe now that they will first be blocked, and shortly thereafter deleted according to the existing anti-cheat measures?

Also, I don't understand why the use of this system necessitates the loss of the whitelist. It could quite easily be added in to exclude whitelist member activity (ie, don't block activity if both offending users are paired on the whitelist). This would have both the cheating protection and keep all malcontents happy. :)
Maintaining a whitelist is both not scalable and unnecessary. People had to be whitelisted before so the ip flag wouldnt go off. Adding people to the whitelist was hugely time consuming because players had to be investigated and I am under no allusions that people gamed the system constantly.

As far as I'm concerned, we made our hits early today then relog later in the day to find the server being updated and a blog post about it, and again where is the notice of said change is going to happen today and it isnt even 24 hours of notice before the devs turned it on. How can that be called reasonable and fair? and now since whitelist is defunct, whitelisters are now going to be flagged hard by the multi rule, so how will the devs address that? Suddenly an honest player one hour and a cheater the next?
Its going on today - its already on afaik. I dont see why whtielisted couples are now cheaters though. This is for the good and the future of the game.
