Request fulfilled Allow multiple selections within profile settings

Allow to select multiple options for profile settings. Characters, Platform, Region, would be great to choose more than 1. For people with bunch of chars, cross-play, and who don't mind playing in more than 1 region.

Greetings from Reddit. Glad to see you made the post!

I agree this could be useful.

No, accounts are designed with one set of profile settings. You can make different characters and link them together on the site, if you want different presets for posting trades etc. Linking accounts means you can switch between them seamlessly. Don't see what use multiple selections has beyond decoration?

@Teebling Can you elaborate or go further into linking accounts? I was unaware that was a thing.

Couple of thoughts on OP's feedback:

Many users will have both Ladder & Nonladder characters, same potentially for playing multiple platforms, etc. Are you suggesting we create new accounts for each character? And would this not make it difficult to maintain relations and know who's who?

Also, would multiple accounts not remove the utility of Trust Level and 'Forum level', Contribution counter, etc?

Go to your user dropdown, then click Account Info, then click 'Linked Accounts'. You'll have to have registered the alt account already to link it.

You can see which accounts someone is linked to in their profile - look at mine for example, I'm linked to a few test accounts which make testing things easier. Same Principle applies to traders who want to have multiple accounts.

Yeah kind of, for the alt characters anyway, but like I said it's visible which accounts are linked to which.
