Hey all,Firstly I did research a bit this morning but did not find a thread specific to my question.I bought ROK and installed.  Now I have all the new content.  I really wanted to run a second account though so I could have additional characters on the same PC.I had to use the new key from ROK to get my new content to work.  Anyway, I've bought two games, EOF and now ROK.  So I do have two keys.Shouldn't I be able to create a second account and if so, what steps would I take?Thanks so much for your help.

If you used EOF and ROK on the same account no, you can't start a second account.<div></div><div>If you bought EOF and ROK and only used ROK on your main account, yes you can create a second account with EOF and I believe have the normal game + DOF/KOS/EOF.  </div><div></div><div>If its the second:  Just create a new station name, and add the EOF box key to that account.  Realize that whatever account you add EOF too you will not be able to access ROK content until you buy ROK for that account.  If you are looking for more characters on your account adding a new "account" will not do this, you have to upgrade to station pass which will give you I think 2-3 more slots.</div><div></div><div>If you want to be able to "Dual Box" 2 characters as once, then at the top of this webpage there is a link that says "Join Free".  Go through that process, create a NEW station name and use the unused key for that station account.  </div><div></div><div>You will most likely have to run EQ2 in lower visual settings then you already run them at to run 2 accounts on one PC.  You also are going to need decent amount of ram, decent processor unless you run both in very minimal settings.  If you have any other questions post them and ill try to help as I can.  One thing to note, you will have to switch out station names as you alt tab (or if you run windowed mode) because it remembers the last station name you used.</div><div></div><div>So you will have 2 login and passwords, I suggest making them separate passwords so if one account gets compromised somehow they don't have the info to the second one.  Example don't use stationname and stationname1 as your account names (whatever that may be) and then use the same password for both.</div>

<p >Thank you Degenerate for you help.  I'm going to try to use my EOF key then for my second account.   I can't bring myself to buy yet a third copy of this game to have more characters especially since I think everyone should have enough slots to cover having one char for each class as it is. LOL.  Just my opinion. Hopefully this will work as I do not plan on spending $120.00 in software plus monthly fees for two accounts just to have char slots I personally feel I should already have.  Not your fault though and I appreciate your help and advice.</p>
