A question about dividing an account into 2 (2 copies of FFXI, 1 account)

[Eldanarch]

I have a FFXI account with 2 characters; one for me and one for my bro. What i wonder is; is it possible to play together at the same time with 2 different copies of FFXI? Can we log in together if i buy a new copy for his character while just keep paying for the account i have now and the additional character fee which i also have been paying? Thanks for any informative reply ^^

No. You need two full accounts to play at the same time. And no, you can't transfer a current character from one account to another. If you want to play at the same time, your only option is to have two accounts, and at least one of you has to start over.

No. You can log on with 2 accounts at the same time just fine, but characters are tied to an account, and you can't log on with the same account twice.

SE said they were thinking about allowing you to "split" your characters, they didn't say (much like the vanalotto) if they're 100% sure on adding it. (I think it was said at the NA fan fest before WoTG release.)

SE decided it would be too easy to sell charaters that way(so they won't do it). Sorry but there's currenly no way you can tranfer charater between accounts. If you want to play seperatly one of you is just gonna have to come back as a newbie!

there are so many people who wants to split accounts, maybe they will do something about it later

They may do it later to retain or reclaim a small portion of the userbase but I don't see it happening until population really starts to go downhill

i thought a different registration key would help :/
it seems we will keep playing the way we have been for a while.
thanks again for the answers ^^

A different registration key will allow you to create a new account, since that's what they're for. But a new account is a new account, and there's currently no way to transfer characters from one to another.
