ESO Plus - can you add multiple game accounts?

Jacozilla

Under my ESO account linked with steam, I have my game copy (digital imp collector edition) + ESO Plus membership.

If I buy another game copy on steam, will it just add another licensed copy to my account? Allowing me to own two paid game copies under single ESO Plus membership?

Or do I need to create completely separate ZOS account, buy game under that account, and pay another ESO Plus fee (yes, have to have the craft bag)

Basically - for people who are on PC, primarily use steam for purchase, and want to have ESO Plus as mandatory perks - how are you running two accounts?

If you want ESO Plus on two accounts, you have to have two subscriptions.

However, if you focus your crafting and such on one account, then you really only need ESO Plus on the main account. You can mail mats to your main account from your second account's farming and decon activities if needed. Bit of a pain, but it is doable if you don't want two subscriptions.

Thank you. Ok - so two ESO Plis needed if I want craft bag. Will try without as yes, I do all crafting with one char anyways.

But steam question I didn't think about - how do I own two separate ZOS accounts with just one steam account?

If I buy another ESO game copy from steam, it will just go under my current steam account - which is linked to my current main ZOS account.

Or do I need to create a separate stream account, and buy separate ESO game under that steam account, and then link that steam purchase to a new ZOS account I create?

I think if you turn off the Auto Login Feature of Steam then you will be able to type in the Account Name you want as you log in. It's the name of the account that determines the account you log into.

Now, Steam itself does not add all that much functionality, if any, to the game, so you could bypass Steam entirely by using just a shortcut to the EXE.
