Okay just a quick question, wanting to make another account. Do I have to but another copy of the game from the shops or can I just buy a CD key online somewhere?

you can play other acc's with your present cd . BUT if you want to open/create a NEW account . you WILL need a brand new daoc cd .. because each cd-key is linked to a cd . so therefore 1 cd-key cant have 2 accounts associated with it ,

hope that helps.

Err not really what I meant, need to know if I can just buy a key .. dont really need all the CD's and boxes and stuff. Just need a key .. seems odd that Mythic/Wanadoo dont have the foresight to sell such things online.

I wonder what the regulations are on using old CD keys. I had a friend who I persueded to start playing a long time ago. He quit at lvl 20 cause he hated the game, is that classed as buying an account?

I dont want his old shitty characters, in fact I dont even want to play on the same server he started on. I just want his CD key .. is this against the CoC? Its still a subscription, cause i'm not gonna pay full whack for boxes and manuals etc just to get a few extra char slots that sucks.

No, you'll be fine, there's no real enforcement of playing multiple accounts at all, for obvious financial reasons.

If it's been used to register, it can't be used again. (it's a one-time key)

But he can re-open the account if his friend still has the username/password.

Who cares about CoC? What mythic/goa doesn't know about.. can't hurt them :)

I do believe he said "CC", as in Credit Card.. not CoC..

yeah I did. I've heard the horror stories on this board of updating your details on the registration screens.

It can be a pain to update ya CC , just getting a new card when the old one expires is a pain , besides that if you got his account name and password you can use the account just fine

If the subscription pages are up - it's a doddle.

If they're not, it's not possible to change anything :)

Officially, no. That constitues selling/trading an account, and if people advertise on here that they are doing it, GOA could "take the necessary action" if they wanted to I guess.
