EQ1 and EQ2 at the same time...

[Vidden]

Back when EQ2 first came out you could have a toon in both EQ1 and EQ2 at the same time or your EQ2 toon would crash. Does anyone know if this is still an issue or if it was fixed?

if you mean via station all access this is still the case.<div></div><div>They have made it so that you can not play 2 different games at the same time via station all access, which is exactly why I canceled it.  If you don't it should work fine, I know eq2 and SWG do.</div>

You can have two separate accounts running at the same time, different game wont matter, as long as your machine can handle running two games at the same time.

<p>I wanna play both EQ1 and EQ2, both use the same station name, at the same time. You say that it cant be done if you use the all access, but what if you pay for the two games seperatly without using the station access?</p>

If you are paying for the 2 games seperately (aka 14.95 for eq1, 14.95 for eq2) on the same account you can have them both logged in at the same time.</p>

In updating this, I was able to run both games, at the same time. With Station Access.So, it is possible. At least for me.
