Do you have multiple accounts, if so, why?

DivinityDay

Yes, because of no real reason.

Yes, so my son can play with me, which does not fit any of your options.

I'm sorry. But I hope he's having fun!

No, just one.

If you're PC EU come join my dead guild, need 1 more for bank privileges again you can take your pick of any the 400+ skin changer pages lol

Eleusian

Yes, and they feed my main account additional support like gold.

Actually use several for Gold & gold Mats storage. I only keep spending money on my main.

I have a question about this, Probably a stupid question, as that's my area of expertise.

Presumably to have a second account means buying the base game a second time, am I right?

And if so -- does this mean you have to download the whole game and keep a second copy of it on your hard drive?

I think my computer would be confused by this, but not only that, the game is so large (what's it up to now, 80+ gigs?) and I use my computer for so many other large-real-estate applications, that I just couldn't give up the space on my hard drive for a second download....

Sounds like you are contemplating on joining the S.A.S.!

Secret Account Society

Nah. I still have one open character slot, I feel like the characters I have are more than a great plenty until they introduce another new class, and If I want more I'd probably just opt to buy new slots on my existing account.

The notion of being able to put two of my characters into the same house or location seems tempting until I realize that I can't play two accounts at the same time -- hell fire, I am barely coordinated enough to play ONE account at the same time! (That's humor). Also can't port an existing character into a secondary account, right?

I would like to play on EU someday, but don't need an additional account to do that -- just a heckova lot more hard drive space. But if there was another computer in the house, or another person in the house to play with, I could definitely see the point in that.

Asardes

No, just one.

Even playing my only account is very demanding:
- doing all 6 crafting writs daily on my 4 fully trained characters
- managing the inventory on my bank char just after that and posting the surplus for sale on guild stores
- training riding skills on my 5 new characters for the next ~5 months and learning green surplus recipes
- have my master crafter give the other 3 research items since I decided they should also have them researched to maximize master writ drop chance in the long run
- playing one of the 3 characters trough various content in order to get more skill points to speed up that research and unlock other passives (I have completed all base game content and DLCs released before Morrowind on my first character, still need to complete TG and DB on 2-3 of them)
- doing trials with my guild 2-3 times a week, with one or more of those 4 characters (progressing vMoL on my first one, doing the Craglorn ones on 2 out of the other 3)
- farming dungeon and overland gear when I need to (I have most of them and only miss 1-2 pieces tops, which I farm in normal mode dungeons or zone world bosses or buy them off guild stores)
- doing the various event quests when they occur (I have fully trained and re-geared my characters for the upcoming PvP event)

And this is just keeping up with a single account, and only playing less than 1/3 of the characters on it while the remaining ones are just bank space. And some days it's simply back-breaking, after coming from work. I really can't imagine how I could do that on multiple accounts. I would barely have time to sleep even if I didn't have a job

Knootewoot

Yes, because of no real reason.

1. Yes, I use my wifes account for Vampire and Werewolve bites and vice versa. I have a backup vampire and ww alt and my wife also so we don't have to wait in line.

2.Also I play DC and my wife EP so when when she enter Cyrodill I occasionally peak unintentionally where reds are going.

3. Who needs a target skellie when you can beat your wife in duals or PvP.


Yes, I am ashamed of point 2, but rest assured it never saved DC and my wife hardly enters Cyrodill. But it's hard to not look if she does enter Cyrodill.

DivinityDay

Yes, because of no real reason.
