Well I found out that I can't team up with Robert in City of Heroes/Villains unless we purchase another copy of the game. We can't just create another online game account. :-( I guess I see the point - they don't want someone lending out the game to anyone and everyone to install, decreasing sales in the process. But what about people in the same

That's really unfortunate. There ought to be a family discount.

So the system wouldn't let you buy a coh account without a software code, eh? Nasty.(

Oh,and if you guys work out your account situation, I have an account. If you need another party member, let me now! (Glabal account is @Zarathustra)

Do we need to know what server you play on as well? I haven't tried the whole teamup thing yet. I think they should provide some sort of family discount at least for getting the software code.

For certain, I have characters on Protector, Justice, and Freedom

I didn't know you guys were playing a MMORPG. That way lies madness, don'tcha know? ;)

As far as I knew, every MMORPG allows the game CD to be distributed and installed for free on as many computers as you want - the account to play online is what costs the $$ every month. They WANT people installing the drug everywhere.

Can you copy the CD, or just use it to install on both computers, or download a crack? I could check bittorrent for you, if you'd like- I'm sure people are only paying for the monthly access (not the game CD also).

Yeah, I just very recently picked it up. I can limit myself and won't get carried away! :)

The CD can be installed on any computer, but it needs a different software code apparently to run a different account. Robert loaded it on his laptop and used the code that came with the copy we bought, but when I went to login, it kicked him off.

I emailed the game people and was told that another copy of the game had to be purchased (either in store or download) in order to get a code.

Game companies charge monthly fees to gamers to play online RPGs, and people pay it? I hope they make a lot of money. I'm not sure I could enjoy an rpg I had to pay to play in. Plus I've heard from friends that they suck an aweful lot of time out of a day if you get too hooked or can't stop at a certain point.

Hmmm. Thats great if thats your biggest problem! We have a copy of that game, but never actually played it. You wouldnt want to team up with him anyway. It would be better to be a villian and fight against him.
