Multiple accounts are NOT permitted. - Page 17

My wife and i play different accounts from same house.
-Diff accounts...same house....behind one router...different PCs
-if you have issues contact PhantomLeader by their profile...just click their name on very first post...sry i cant copy-paste here

I play two characters from my account on same PC
-Get in game....hit alt+tab to shrink game....start game again....log in again...pick different character...go back and forth by alt+tabbing

These are both legal...you cannot have two accounts for yourself, but honestly you dont need it.

AtronuTragona...PM me if you need more help.

My question is, is there a maximum of instances for the account that one person can do? because if there is then the first page should read "you cannot have multiple accounts, but you can run X amount of instances on that account. because i have been told at most i can run 2 instances by in game players. So... i would just like some clarification.

One person, one account, two instances logged at the same time.

Thank you for that clarification if the First page can be edited to say "2 instances" instead of "Multiple instances" that would be awesome. I think that would Just Be more specific So no one breaks the rules.

I was allowing my daughter to just putz around i one of my toons but since you are only allowed to dual box i will need to get her account. Correct me if i am wrong. Please

This will never stop being a problem. The emu team will have to constantly be deleting spam/bot/multiple accounts; it's part of having a community like this. At Canon we also have a no tolerance policy about multiple accounts, so we are trying to stay ahead of the game from the get-go by deleting suspect accounts when they are made.

The only hope is that posts like this one will help minimize the amount of duplicate accounts created out of ignorance.

When this thread was created multiple instances were allowed, but after the last patch and growing interest in TC, server cap had to be implemented and multiple instances were restricted to only two. It would be a great idea to edit the OP, but only a moderator or the person that created this thread can do it, so its all up to them really.

Sure, if you want your daughter to play along with you another account would be the way to go. There are two ways to do it. Create her an account and if it gets banned send an email to community@swgemu.com, explain your situation and ask them to unban her account. Or send an email to the same email address first and inform them that you will be needing a second account for your daughter and wait for them to instruct you on what you should do next.

multiple accounts,
i have a question.
i had an account long ago with EMU.
when i tried to log into it to create characters in game, my password didnt work, after several tries to reset password, and failure i created new account. i never recieved a response, so am i considered a multiple account user? even at the fault of lack of response to original account?

just curious.

The first one you made was probably so old that it has become "inactive" and only way that it can be used again is by reactivating it. Since you have a new one no need to bother Mods, just enjoy your new account.

It is banned because you already have an active account. You are not allowed to have two accounts. There are only some "special" circumstances in which more than one account can be created from one IP address.

Hi, I have been trying all afternoon to get hold of somebody to help with an account problem. My boyfriend, who sits next to me and has his own pc and his own swg disks, has been banned instantly, as we share an internet connection. He has not even played the game yet or tried to log in. We thought it would be ok to register on forums, but he has been banned for 'no reason', and the ban will be lifted 'never'. The ban applies to forums and test centre. Please help, as we have done nothing wrong here. We are veteran swg players and would like to see the pre-CU version again.

Thanks for any help and advice.

PS I have emailed twice today, but not heard anything yet.

Multiple accounts aren't permuted, system detects different accounts with same IP and assumes that someone is trying to create a multiple accounts. Its not a perfect system but its necessary.

Since you are sharing the IP address system instantly banned the second account created, even though you aren't braking any rules. Just send an email to community@swgemu.com and explain your situation. One of the moderators will fix it asap.

Scousevix · #13 03-29-2010, 03:40 PM

Already done this twice, the original was sent 5 hrs ago and no reply yet.

**Vlada** · #14 03-29-2010, 03:50 PM

It may take a day or two. I apologize if in my answer was misleading and lead you to believe that it will be fixed in the matter of hours.

Scousevix · #15 03-29-2010, 03:54 PM

Ok thanks for the response, but you can understand my frustration and his when I am in game and so is our friend, who was also with us in the early days of swg and my boyfriend has to sit and watch from the sidelines. I appreciate everyone is doing their best and hope someone can get around to fixing it soon.

thank you.
