Question about Accounts (probably frequently asked too!)

Angelus · 01-04-2003, 11:33 PM

Well... I'm sure this question has been asked and I looked through the forums but I just wanted to address my specific case just to be sure. Say I buy just one version of this game. However, I am a greedy (insert a not nice word here) and I install it on my own computer. But I'm not THAT greedy of a (insert the same word from earlier here) and I decide to let my brother play the game, but hes not going anywehre near my computer. He can play it on his own computer. But can he? My question is can the same game be installed with the same CD key, etc, with the same account? Now I know they can't be playing at the same time, but can an account run off of two different computers at two different times, especcially if they share the same connection (the computers are on a network)? Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer! A simple yes or no will suffice. :p

Yea.. I believe so it should work. Its like going over to a friends and logging on your account.

Absolutely, however, be sure to pay the extra $0.75 and get your brother his own character(unless you want to let him level up yours).

Lol, yeah thanks! Just wanted to make sure a CD can be used on 2 different comps with the same account.
