Do I need a second account?

[Gameth]

<p>Okay I play eq2.  If I want to start a 2nd account do I need to buy the game again and set up a second online account?  I already pay the monthly rate for all the games eq, eq2, and vanguard.  Now I need a second?</p><p>Thanks</p>

Far as I know yes you need 2 separate accounts.  Would be nice if they allowed you to have more than one game account on a single Station account.

<p>There is a 'station access' account which costs 30 bucks a month and gives you 12 character slots for EQ2.  It also gives you access to EQ1, Vanguard, and any other SoE online game.</p><p>I'm not sure if you want the 2nd account to box or if you want it to have more characters, this might be an option.</p>

For to create more characters the cheaper version would be to use the EU servers too, or just create some on the test server. Only one of them can be running at a time though, so if you wanna play with 2 of your chars the same time you need to create a 2nd account.

This access account wil aloow you play any of the games you own - so you still need to buy a copy of the game. If you want to 2-box and play 2 characters at once in the same game, or to plat EQ2 on one PC and VGSOH on the other then, yes you need 2 accounts.
