Odd.
I don't care if its 3 days or 3 years, if you pay credits you can cheat - plain an simple. By EVERY definition the developers, mods an everyone else has put out there ... if you pay money you can cheat an they do NOTHING about it.

If you tried to abide by the rules an paid to get your brother/sister/cousin/grandma/wife/dog or fish into the kingdom so you could both spend time playing the game in the same kingdom (wasn't that why they originally allowed trading anyways, it was a way to increase activity in the game?) then, as long as you have the same IP, you are now being swindled out of your money. They got your cash, changed the rules drastically enough to make warring a huge freaking hassle. Yes, its a much bigger hassle then all the moderators are leading you on about - I know, I am going through it right now within my kingdom. Everyone that planned ahead to abide by the rules now have very limited options - continue to play in their kingdom together an hobble their kingdom, have one of them transfer out of the kingdom they are in (an waste the money they already spent?) or become what the developers are trying to catch an circumvent the security protocols an cheat.
I will say it again - bad business decision on their part. Sean an Brian - nice way to bilk the honest people out of their money an do absolutely nothing to catch the cheaters (cheaters are still cheating). Pathetic at best.
