Post Tabbed Client
Let's face facts, SS is built on MCing. So how about a tab system on the client like most internet browsers use so we can multiclient 2 or more accts from the same client with the tabs showing the names of the characters on them?

Running 2 tabs in one client would drastically reduce memory usage. That's why internet browsers have gone to it. Politely learn something before coming back...

I don't like the idea of encouraging the usage of more than 3 accounts simultaneously. I think it puts way too much focus on solo play.

It's an interesting idea, but in practice, it would be really, really hard to implement at this point. We would have to fork every internal variable that the client keeps track of as well as all the scene graphs and all the incoming packets, etc. Not possible to do any time soon, and probably never really worth the effort it would take.

MCing is what ruined SS imo it should be stopped so people rely on eachother more so you get a better feel of a team
