Multiple accounts are NOT permitted.

I'm interested in how you are determining the use of multiple accounts. If it is via IP, then there are 3 people in my house that play Emu, usually on different computers (for obvious reasons.)

It would be much easier if people understood they don't need multiple accounts for multiple characters, then you guys wouldnt need to keep removing duplicates. Unfortunately that seems to be the main issue of free accounts, it doesnt cost money to make a new account like it would with SOE.

I figure its easier just to simply not create more than one account...
Why must people always make things complicated?

I have a wireless router and 5 computers in my house that are connected to it. Three are directly plugged in and 2 are laptops that connect wireless. I also have 3 people in the house that play SWG and 3 who do not. If I'm in my bedroom playing and it gets late and my wife wants to sleep, are you saying that I cannot log off and switch to the computer in my office which may have been used to create my son's account?

Seems a lot of people here don't understand the basic issue.

The Devs want it to be 1 Account per person. You can have as many characters as they allow you to have on that 1 account. Also every other person in your house can have their own account. This is why they are saying to mail them, so they dont ban people who genuinely share computers or internet connections.

And, once again, what keeps people from just lieing? It cannot be policed, so why even try? It's like the drug war!

@xaat Great post man, and don't let these trolls get to you. You have proven that a lot of members never post because they don't want to be attacked.

@dj no, xaat and me are two different people, and I dont even know him. You are the one that posted a screenshot, and all i did was ask you about it.

that's not true. A more accurate statement would be that there is no 100% effective system, but it can definitely be policed.

I have the same question as above but we are not in the same house but in adjacent houses.

My son inlaw uses a seperate PC at a seperate residence but our IP addresses come up the same. " He and my daughter actualy live directly next door. hence the same IP"


I have sent an E-mail requesting that he be notified weather he can create an account or not.

The question is, Dose the program use the information from tha actual P.C. "Wich would solve the problem" to identify multiple accounts? Or dose it base it on I.P. address "Wich we have had problems with before"

He has had his account on another game we both play frozen due to the I.P. issue and just want to make sure it is all good!

I emailed Phantomleader to see if I could open a second account for my girlfriend. No reply after a few days, so I assumed that it would be OK to. I made the account and it was insta-banned.

I emailed to ask why, and if it could be reinstated. Still no reply almost 2 weeks later.

I tried to log 2 toons on at once on the off chance it would work and it did!

1. Why not state at sign-up that this is possible.
2. If you put an email up for second accounts, why no response at all?

I am grateful for the work done on this project, but I agree with the above poster that other options should be explained more clearly.

I bring this up now, as it might be worth revisiting the way 2nd family/household accounts are handled before SC is released.

Please be patient, Phantomleader or other administrators will take care of your situation when they get a chance.
