    Same account, playing two characters in the same server at the same time is possible?

    I know this have been asked several times, but I never find a satisfactory answer or maybe I'm just too stupid to understand the replies lol.

    Like, you can create 8 characters per world, right? Is it possible to play two different characters in the same sever, at the same time of the same service acount, but in different pcs?

    I want to play with my sister, but paying two games AND two subscriptions would be too much for us...

    No, you can't do that.
    The game/server will kick the already logged in account if another attempt is made to log in to the same account.
    In order to "share" the game with your sister, a second account will be required.

    Sharing the game in such a way is against the TOS anyway.

    Realistically a lot of family sharing (and even roommate sharing) happens and SE doesn't do anything to them. That clause is probably more for stopping things like powerlevelling services or otherwise paying someone to play your character.

    But to Tairin: No, you'll need 2 accounts/subscriptions to play simultaneously.

    That's true but you still probably shouldn't broadcast it on the forums. n__n;

    It's also so SE can cover themselves if there is a dispute about the account. Such as a person's brother spending millions of gil buying a house the actual account owner didn't agree to, the brother deleting characters the account owner wanted to keep, or both people fighting over who actually owns the account. SE don't have to sort out personal disputes like this because the ToS specifically states one account is for one person.
