<div></div><p>I am placing this here in hope someone with an "in" at SoE can bring this forward.  I "was" a station access subscriber until just a short while ago.<span>  </span>I have an EQ account and EQ2 account.  My son plays the EQ while I play EQ2.  Thing is when he is on I get booted to desktop constantly.  I know the EULA says only 1 account can be played at a time and bla bla...  It also says you can have a minor child play it as well.  Now I don't have issue with SoE making the policy to not let both be on but please give us the option to pay a little more give us an "enhanced" station access where we can still get the rewards from station access but be able to play both at once.<span>  </span>I am losing toons and features "read Bloodlines and Split paw Saga" because I am no longer a station access supporter.  I was station access for over a year.  Meaning SoE got about 6$ a month more from me for this stuff but because I CAN'T use it now due to crashing I am penalized....</p><p>  I am willing to pay a bit more just let me and my son play both games together. <span> </span>And not have to lose station access goodies.<span>  </span>I figure EQ is 15bux and EQ2 is 17bux make it 25bux and we all go home happy.<span>  </span>I am sure thousands of people would love this.<span>  </span>Come on SoE hook us up!!</p><div></div>

<div></div> I just want a little something.  Its not even that much of a gripe.  I have cancelled the station access and will pay both accounts "seperate"  SoE is still making way too much off me and I just wanted to make it easier.<div></div><p>Message Edited by Coppun on <span class=date_text>01-02-2006</span> <span class=time_text>05:48 PM</span>

Might call that customer service phone number and see if they can seperate the two accounts.

<P>pay the cash and get a character transfer to a seperate account, either for eq1 or eq2, that's pretty much your only option.</P>

I have never had an issue with being logged into EQ2 , and reg EQ. I did it several times as an experiment and it worked for me. Perhaps it's an issue with your IP address? Or something else?<div></div>

I have tried working the isp issue side but if I have someone else log in my toon it still crashes with eq1 running.  And to those that will say.  omg thats against the EULA  oh well whats done is done .  SoE supprt wasn't helping me after countless atempts to have it fixed and I did some experimenting.  not like I sold the thing.....   All i want here is to maybe get soe to enchance the payment option to allow those of us that played eq1 for 6+ years and are now playing eq2 while our kids play our old eq1 accounts another venue of payment without buying yet another full copy of the game and /spliting the accounts.  Thats not the goal here.<div></div>

<DIV>I'm honestly doubful they will do this.  That restriction is in place for that exact reason, accounts are not supposed to be shared.  OK so you do, it's reasonable, it's understandable, but it's still not supposed to happen.  Allowing it would effectivly let account sharing become considerably easier.  I'm not judging, I'm not blaming, I'm not saying anything negative, just stating that it is not what SOE wants to happen. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Especially if say...I play eq2 and eq1, worth the cost to me to get all access, my friend who plays planetside doesnt want to play....another enjoys matrix online, yet another star wars galaxies...seeing the problem?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I highly doubt any such option will become available.  Your only choice, as of now, is to split the account, or deal with the fact that you can't play two at once.</DIV>

It states in the FAQS for Station Access that you cannot be logged into multilple games at the same time on the same account, was that was from the start.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>To the OP, all you need to do is cancel the SA, let it expire then subscribe to each game individually for the normal monthly cost, at that time you can lon into eq1 and eq2 at the same time. So for around 30.00 a month yu can do this, remember you also lose the additional characters slots and AP's on EQ2</DIV>

aye thats what I have done now.  going to let it expire and pay both seperate.  my issue is with the AP's and extra toon slots.  means I have to delete some chatacters and can't raid SP anymore.  BL sucked balls so thats not a big loss.  SP once a month or so when we were bored was fun for kicks.<div></div>
