What i wonder is; is it possible to play together at the same time with 2 different copies of FFXI? Can we log in together if i buy a new copy for his character while just keep paying for the account i have now and the additional character fee which i also have been paying? Thanks for any informative reply ^^ | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-07-2008, 06:41 AM | #2 (permalink) | | Bewilderbeast Brain of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 1,541 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 110 Thanked 300x in 202 Posts Gil: 9 Bank: 35,352 Total Gil: 35,361 Donate | Re: A question about dividing an account into 2 (2 copies of FFXI, 1 account) No. You need two full accounts to play at the same time. And no, you can't transfer a current character from one account to another. If you want to play at the same time, your only option is to have two accounts, and at least one of you has to start over. Ellipses on Fenrir There is no rush. If you're not willing to take your time, don't be surprised when no one wants to give you much of theirs.

Sorry but there's currenly no way you can tranfer charater between accounts. If you want to play seperatly one of you is just gonna have to come back as a newbie! | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-07-2008, 07:27 AM | #6 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Posts: 3 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 150 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 150 Donate | Re: A question about dividing an account into 2 (2 copies of FFXI, 1 account) there are so many people who wants to split accounts, maybe they will do something about it later | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-07-2008, 07:35 AM | #7 (permalink) | | Pointy Stick Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Portland, OR Posts: 1,879 Style: Dark - Version 5 My Mood: Thanks: 415 Thanked 324x in 200 Posts Gil: 7,301 Bank: 30,042 Total Gil: 37,344 Donate | Re: A question about dividing an account into 2 (2 copies of FFXI, 1 account) They may do it later to retain or reclaim a small portion of the userbase but I don't see it happening until population really starts to go downhill

it seems we will keep playing the way we have been for a while.
thanks again for the answers ^^ | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 04-07-2008, 07:40 AM | #9 (permalink) | | Bewilderbeast Brain of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 1,541 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 110 Thanked 300x in 202 Posts Gil: 9 Bank: 35,352 Total Gil: 35,361 Donate | Re: A question about dividing an account into 2 (2 copies of FFXI, 1 account) A different registration key will allow you to create a new account, since that's what they're for. But a new account is a new account, and there's currently no way to transfer characters from one to another. Ellipses on Fenrir There is no rush. If you're not willing to take your time, don't be surprised when no one wants to give you much of theirs.
