    Yeah, but you used $ for both dollars and zlotys in one post and it was confusing. Or maybe I'm just easily confused. :p To tell the truth, I'm annoyed by all the "you pay more for a cinema ticket, so shut up" people too. It isn't quite so simple (btw, środy z Orange, anyone? ;)).

    I would like to know the policy regarding account sharing among family members or people living in the same household. Two accounts and purchased games for two people in the same house, but they play on each others accounts to play different characters.

    Is this allowed ?

    I'm not sure how things are beeing done theese days, but im pretty certain that at one point your account could be flagged, or white-flagged. White-flagged beeing "allowed" to get away with minor things, like account shareing for example.

    Really? Because Pain in the Axehole was banned for his NAME.

    Well, i know people getting away with some shady stuff during the years :P

    This is not a f2p game. F2P games do not require you to buy anything to get started. ESO requires a purchase. Its called buy to play.

    Well they won't unless you:
    1. Admit to using to someone else's account
    2. Admit to someone else using your account
    3. Have multiple accounts which are being played at the same time and following normal playing patterns.

    How does this work on console though? It goes via xblive? So it's the XB account that's tied to the eso account. People be running vma for people all the time. All I have to do is stream via twitch in console app and pick up viewers and people are asking me to complete it for them within the 1st wave? Or is this zos baiting people? Surely consoles get away with this by hiding behind a gamer tag and not just an ip and a few other details that aren't specific to users.

    Added a scenario and the appropriate one in this case.

    Normally we do not discuss disciplinary actions taken on ESO game accounts, but in light of this particular situation’s public nature we’d like to explain a few things.

    We do not allow account sharing to protect our players from the following:
    • Gold Farmers/Sellers
    • Account Hacking

    When a Terms of Service violation occurs, we do reserve the right to make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. In this case, we made a one-time, final exception for those involved due to the years of contributions they have provided the ESO community and team.

    Anyone whose ESO account is suspended or banned may appeal the decision via our Support Portal. We can and do give players another chance when the situation warrants it.

    Hi @ZOS_JessicaFolsom , Got a small question, though you never discuss TOS, but i'm being curious, in my case for exemple, one of my Real-Life friend i've known since 1996-1997 in Computer Graphic class, who got me into MMO's, which is my MMO Partner since early 2004 or so starting from a game i won't mention, and we been going from one MMO to another, about 10 of thems or so, we also got in ESO since it launched, going in and out back in the game since, as ESO+ members all these times we get in (We can't even count how much real-life money we spent on crates and crown store, but do i damn remember the $100 CAD i spent on last crate before i took a break less than a year ago trying to get that darn mount which i never got, yes got to say the bad RNG in this gae always makes me come back hehe:)). Lost of time, he comes over my place or i go at his place, and we sometimes log onto each of our accoutns over the other's place so we can try out our toons or show stuff. Is it still considered vilating the TOS, plus, how different could it be if one day we wanna try to run a dungeon by swapping toons, he tries one of many DPS and i tried one of his many army of tanks, or like a few years ago when we were younger and moving around a computer wasn't annoying like now :) We ended up on some week-ends doing Lan Party and playing together in the same house, though swaping place around while being in the same house, but bad connection ended up us stoping doing it also. More for exemple i went at his place yesterday and we did same, i played his toon trying to make it look a bit like mine and testing it out, and when we came back from having lunch, while he was busy he yield me his PW to log in back... But now i'm kinda scared to log my account on his computer and vice versa when we visit each others, don't wanna get both account banned.

    You guys should have a sorta IP or Computer ID permission list, you know, like Routers or Anti-Virus software which you can list trustee Id that we can add. :)
