Hi, im not sure this is the right area to post this question, so please feel free to move it.
I have an account at the moment with all my toons on it, at the moment me and the mrs have to share time on the computer to play our toons. I am thinking about buying her her own copy of NWN so we dont have to share. Will we both be able to access our toons at the same time using the use 'allow other acount' feature on the scry device? Or if not is there a way we can play together without one of us starting from scratch again?

Just a quick note, if you do run two versions of NWN on the same network, make sure to make the following change (as listed on the Downloads page of HGwiki):

Yes, you will still be able to access your characters using either cd key, so long as you add it to the one your account is already marked with, by using the pc scrye option. You will not be able to login the same playername more than once, however, so if you've been sharing the same playername as well as the same computer, one of you will need to start a new playername, which will NOT have access to the other playername's characters.

Funky I can only imagine the fight that this will cause... |

I can split them out for you, but I can only move characters with an open subrace to a different player name. Send me a PM with the characters to move and the old and new player name and I will get to it (it could take me a little while).

This make me think of something I've been meaning to ask.
How are people able to afford close to a dozen or more player names? IE what seems to be like a new account for each burr sub-race they have or one specfically for banks?

Given that playernames don't cost anything, your question is a little puzzling.  Funky |
