Dont think you will see any account splitting in the near future ;)

Kinda ironic though as it should bring in more money for GOA, oh well their headache I guess :D

We have a totally different billing system to the US, hence why GOA said its not yet on the cards. Im sure its not forgetten, but they do have more important things to do like patching and keeping the gorre populus in kleenex.

well if they cant handle it cause they have to patch and keep gorre fixed, then we will never see it. and tbh they like said it allmost a year ago i think, not sure though, but its been a loooong time, they should have worked something out by now. they cant use the patches as an excuse, cause they will never go away.

Well if you see it from GOA's perspective I would atleast think that bringin in cash is the most important thing and account splitting should be boost in their income as there are alot of ppl just waiting for account splitting to arrive. :)

patches are an excuse...err no. Account splitting became available in May this year (6 months ago fyi) in the US. The GOA team have to look after 3 languages, 12 servers plus Gorre, patching to live and Gorre, replying to crap rightnow "why dont i wtfpwn" questions etc etc. Since may (dont think you noticed this part) most of the GOA GMs have been replaced with new improved models (Erivoss, Requiel etc etc), who have not only drastically improved customer services, but also manage to put on a fortnightly event on all servers, spend a lot of time helping in game ressetting MLs and artis and generally being helpful.

They didnt rule it out, but think of the complications such as account security that have to be taken into account, one slip up and poof, your chars deleted and you got nothing.

Be patient young padawan.

i find account splitting very amusing.
The idea behind it is to allow family/friends who play your account to separate their character to a new account, thus providing more income to Mythic through the second subscribed account.

But, its against the euro CoC to share your account, or lend it? So what are they gonna do? Transfer the char for £X then ban both accounts for breach of the CoC? :p

Time to bring up the request for account splitting..

I fail to see the problem, actually. K.. There is a difference in billing system, no argue there, but do it manually then. For ever account split they will get a new paying customer, how much more value can you get from a person?

I think there is quite some of us, sharing aco***** within family or other stuff that really want this Account split, but I also dont think there will be like thousands of them.. So the extra work should be pretty low imo.

So please, please GOA, let us pay you more money..

There are many problems with any account spliting, copying character came a bit later than NF if I remember well anyway. Yet for account spliting, they have problems with distributing the game and offering new accounts, mostly legal problems. They are a telco and not a game publisher, guess why their experience in solving this kind of problems are very limited?

Actually no..Account splitting came with 1.69 (or was it 1.68?) so the function with transfering characters are already in game.
The problem according to GOA is that the billing system is different.

I would like to see it was well... but in my case it will actually lose GOA money. I want to transfer my 50 shaman off my 2nd account onto my main account and then (possibly) shut the 2nd account down...

I said possibly ;)

It couldn't do that.

The system in the US can move characters from one account to an account which has no characters on any server only.

Old? Old!? Ancient!! <coughs> As far as I know, you cannot split your account on the euro-servers at all.

How about if you have two crafters on one account, a tailor and an armorcrafter. It'd be easier when doing orders to have them on seperate accounts so you can work both simultaneously.
Or if you want to duo with two classes on your account, one as buffbot?

There are tons of options where accountsharing isn't a reason...
