How do I make another account?

Do I have to make a whole new Steam account as well to purchase another copy of TESO and make another account for it? I looked in the Steam store and there doesn't seem to be an option for purchasing additional copies, but I know a lot of people have multiple accounts, and when I asked in chat the other day I got varied and confused answers from people who have not made new accounts for a few years (and apparently things have changed at some point between now and when the game came out). Halp please?

✭I am not an expert, but I assume 'you' just need a 2nd email address, and to purchase a 2nd copy of the game to run.
I see you're running a PC, so thats easy enough to do.
I was thinking about this myself, but need to look into how much of a burden the 2nd copy running alongside the original copy would put on my Main Battle Computer so I could trade stuff back and forth.
It can't be too hard if bots can run a dozen at a time in a squad, so I assume my 2nd storage mule wouldn't bring my stuff to it's knees. You'd have to evaluate your own hardware....Edited by twev on March 23, 2018 2:41AMThe problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.0 -

✭✭✭✭Thanks. I'm guessing I'll probably have to make another Steam account then, in order to purchase the game again, though I am not sure if there's a way to purchase it outside of Steam now.0 -
magictucktuck✭✭✭✭✭I think its against TOS to run 2 copies ran by 1 person at the same time.. but correct me if im wrong.
2 accounts is no problem though0 -

✭✭✭✭Don't you *have* to buy another copy of the game in order to have another account? I wouldn't think they would want people to just have any number of accounts running on just one purchase.0 -

You can have all the accounts that you can think of account names and email addresses for. No limits, as near as I can tell.
However, using those accounts to log into the game (on PC/Mac) does require that you buy the game, or take part in a free trial. In the latter case, you need to create the account through their free trial website. You cannot just go create an account and then use the free trial.0
