thank you guys for replying, it's very much appreciated.

i'm not going to go blame SE if I cannot do this, after all I did read the warning that the linking of accounts is permanent.

then technically you can okay with 2 characters simultaneously because you have 2 service accounts (1 for ps3 and 1 for PC).

So your brother should be able to play using your account on the PS3 while you are playing on your PC. You may be limited however because of the subscription you have. So like, if you can only create 1 character per server, both of you would have to play on separate servers. But if you have the subscription that allows up to 8 characters...
I think that's just saying that one person can buy multiple boxes.

...But seriously, what the difference between Square Enix account and service account?
