I need some help, maybe someone here can point me in the right direction... Surely i am not the first person to address this, but either way...
My wife would like to start playing the game, but we only have one computer, so we cannot create two accounts.. is there a remedy? or is it just one account per household??

you will need to go to a local library and create an account their then you can log in at your house but it is critical that you do not owrk in the same company and /or communicate in any way in the game

so we can both play, but we cannot communicate, or work for the same company in game?? why not?? what is the point in playing if we cannot play together for the same common goal? I have played many online games, and this would be the first one that we could not be part of the same "clan" or "company" or whatever...

As of right now we have no way to tell other than IP if somebody is creating "Multis"
A multi would ruin this game because people can create multiple accounts for one company than they can run contracts and it would be unfair.
So if somebody were to think that you and your wife were a multi, the Admins would look at your IP's and think that you are multi and you would get banned from the game.
Make sure that your names in the game are completely different...and spread you login times out (don't log out and than your wife gets on and logs in right after you)....if you do that and what big cody said, you will not get caught.

I understand what you are saying, but it is the whole "get caught" part that i dont like....
I know all the multi tricks... delete cookies, temp files, etc... and disconnect to change the IP and space it out, etc. etc.
the point is, if i wanted to run multi's, i would not have come here and asked about two accounts from one ip.
Other games i have played have it set up where if two or three people play from the same IP, they send an email to the admin, and those accounts get added to a list of "Legal multi" accounts... the admin would then just make sure that the only accounts played from that IP were the accounts signed to the "Legal multi" email.
If you get caught running any other accounts, then you get the boot.
I like this game, it is fun... but if i can't play with my family in the same company without "breaking the rules" because i don't have more than one computer, well that is kinda primitive, even for a free internet game...

But its not just admin who will be doing these things...its other people, people get reported and they get caught just by IP's.
I don't know about a list and I play a game that allows multi's by putting them on a list too but this game hasn't gotten to that point yet. Maybe with OMAC taking over it will happen some time but until then don't risk it.
