Send an email and explain your situation. I believe it is community@swgemu.com but I don't remember for sure.

email community@swgemu.com and explain your situation ddragonswingg74 and they'll get back to you and get you set up.

I don't get it. I can get a new ip address each time I reboot my router. If someone else with the same ISP also plays, it will seemsas though there are 2 accounts on the same ip.
If it's done by mac address well that's easily spoofed. You can literally change your mac addy in windows, without any 3rd part tools.

Intrigued as to the checks performed, because nothing else jumps out as being obvious. Unless they have somehow obtained or reverse engineered the product keys too.

Whats the average hear back time form the community @ swgemu.com?

Ok, my roommate wants to play and I understand that I have to email them about the multiple accounts being on one IP address, but do I need two copies of the game disk or can he just install from my disk and be ok? I just want to clarify because I really don't want to screw this up. I'm sorry if this has been answered, but there is so much stuff to go through to find the answer.

You should have two sets of discs.

here's a wacky idea

if you have mutiple computers on a network ... run multple instances and use the same account

I'm confused by what you mean by "multiple accounts". My brother and I both used (when we played the game preCU) the same account with different characters. So are you saying we can't do this now? Or just that we can't play online at the same time? Or just that we can't play two characters on the same computer at the same time?

you can use the same account to have different toons like you did before

as long as there is a single account attached to you IP adress you are good to go

you can also play both at the same time on the same computer by turning on multiple "INSTANCES" (not accounts :P) but you will have to tab back and forth

play two at once by running two computers on the same account on a network

An individual can not have or play on more than one account. Each player should have their own account.

moving to diff address but going to use same comp -- i sould be ok yes?

You shouldn't have any problems.

Ok, it seems like I'm getting contradictory answers...

An account can have multiple characters which two people on different computers at different locations can play on though?

We are in different cities, but he is going to tell me the key after I finish updating, so we can play together. So IP address should not be a problem. I'm just trying to figure out if I will have to buy my own copy of the game or if we can both play on the same account with different characters at the same time but at 2 different locations.

Each person should have their own account. Each individual can have only one account. So no, two people should not be sharing an account. Each person should have their own account, which can have multiple characters.

Ok, so we will be banned if we both try to play at the same time?
