2 Accounts

[mistrl]

So i want to start another account so i can play with 2 toons at the same time mainly for buffs on guild runs and such so im wondering how to do this. Do i need to buy another disk for 2 account keys? or can i use the same one for both since im the same person? if i can use same how do i go about it?

<p>You need to get all new account keys for a second account.So best thing to do would be track down a box version of EoF (it comes packaged with all the other expansions plus the base game).</p><p> OR if you aren't in a big rush, just wait 2 months and buy 2 of the new expansions.  One for your main account, and one to start your new account with (which, once again, will come included with all previous expansions)</p>

I bought CD keys for new accounts off of ebay before from folks selling the retail games, have saved some bucks that way.  Just make sure the seller is reputable...mine gave me the CD keys via email immediately as well as mailing the item.

If you don't even want to go to the store you can buy the EQ2 all in one pack from <a href="http://www.direct2drive.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.direct2drive.com</a> to get an account key and just copy your current EQ2 files instead of going through with the download.
