<p>Recently I've started playing EQ1 and EQ2 at the same time on the same account and have started to get frequent crashes. EQ2 simply drops to desktop or drops with a "failed to log you in" message.</p><p>I've eliminated pretty much everything else (multicore, other processes, etc). It happens quite often just standing around doing nothing. I'm playing on different machines. If I play a 2nd instance of EQ2 with a 2nd account on the same machine it never crashes. The shared account crashes regardless of what character is logged in.</p><p>Not conclusive, but pretty likely that there is a login server conflict between the two games.</p><p>Is is a reported or known issue? Is there any reason the two games should NOT work simultaneously on the same account? Any suggestions to avoid conflicts?</p>

<p>As far as I can remember , you are only allowed 1 login at a time per account and the login system enforces this , using the same account to play 2 games at the same time is a no-no.</p><p>It sometimes takes a short while to notice but eventually you will get kicked from the first game you start up.</p>
