use 1 account to make crafters and combat characters...you can make multiple characters on the same account.

IF so...why..

can you have more than one char?

and if you want a 2nd account for lets say..kids ect..

does it go by your ip or how does that work?

you can run as many clients as your computer can handle, as long as they're all from the same account. Your kids can use your account to log in and play at the same time aswell. the multiple instances are allowed merely for testing purposes, to ease things up. if there's no buffers on for my main i can log my buffer alts and keep on testing. not to speak i can spot doctor,musician and dancer bugs while i'm buffing my combat toon.

i had 12-14 pre-wipe so should be enough for everybody. think Uli had around 20.

Yeah, before the db wipe I had at least 20 toons. I had docs/ents on every planet that I used to farm on, and I had one survey toon on every planet so that i didn't have to wait on shuttles...just log and relog....viola! So you can make as many toons as you want.

I'm in the same boat as Sinner. My brother and I both created different accounts. Should one of us delete one and share one?

Either file a ticket on the support site or PM PhantomLeader, he should be able to work it out.

Don't know why I didn't think of this. Genius

Though my comp fails so I gave up on trying to buff myself.

I would assume it either has to do with them wanting to track # of individual players on test (via account login), or if you're misbehaving they only have 1 account to deal with... but yes, this is a good question which the OP should have explained. Reasons are good

Is it Possible , to log in from 2 Computers with one Account at the same time?

itÂ´s because my wife would like to play too , and has no Acc. because of the Rules.

PD,

Yes, it is possible. I'm not sure if there is a sub-rule about that but my son and I were using my account until his account was authorized by Phantom.
As for multiple instances, I was running two or three toons on my laptop and my son ran one on the tower. The house connection easily handles multiple active toons.

Just a question? What if you are behind a router and like myself and my wife both have an account.... if you are checking through IPs we will end up with same IP? What should I do so that we don;t get in trouble do to that fact.

Thx mate !!

Max, please check your PMs, as I believe my situation would qualify as an extenuating circumstance.

You see, my brother and I would both like to play, but we sometimes use the same computer and we don't want to share an account. I've messaged you with all of the relevant information.

EDIT:

Never mind -- I just realized I'm supposed to contact Phantom Leader instead, which I'll do right now...
