question about multiple accounts (answered, thanks)

[Zimmy]

OK, so my boyfriend wants to give VHR a try... doubt he will stick around, but he wants to have his own account (just novice for the time being... like I said, not sure he will enjoy this sort of thing). My question is about making him an account in game and on the forums when they both come from the same IP adress (we live together) but his would have a different email adress... anyway, I don't want to get into any trouble or anything so I wanted to ask about this... granted with all 8 of my sponsors I know that I am allowed more novice accounts than I have, but I don't want the different email to make it look as though I am selling or giving away a novice account.

so, does this work out? Can I do it? Would he still be able to have a forum account and Orbis account (if he actually gets that far into playing)?

Any info is much appreciated.

**EDIT**
new question about him having a forum account, have had him fill out the info and was told that he would recieve an email, how quickly should we be expecting that (or is there something else he is meant to do)? When he tries to log on with it it doesn't say the name or anything is taken, just that it is currently innactive... sorry for the silly questions but I know things were changed due to umm... certain players.. and the forums is what I REALLY want him to have access to because of all of the info... but I wont let him log on as me because that would just be too strange if he wanted to actually say something on a thread.
He had no trouble making his novice ranch but he is going to be clueless about what to do with it if he can't use the forums.


halp?

Having the same IP as someone else is never a problem until someone on the IP breaks major rules. It's kinda like sharing game accounts, we don't know, have no way to confirm, who broke the rules, so the entire IP may be banned if the offense is serious enough.

As long as you're upfront about it, I doubt anyone on the forums will give you problems, though I would suggest he stay away from the "novice only" giveaways to avoid any questions.

Yeah, we have to activate new accounts now, at least for a while longer. PM me his Forum name, and I can fix that for ye
