    Does the Account Sharing prohibits one person from owning more than one account?
    What if I already have three characters in one account and want to make more characters in secondary account?
    Would it be against the rule?

    You can own multiple accounts.

    Account sharing is when you assess an account that does not belong to you or allow someone else to assess your account. Your account(s) should only be controlled by you yourself. Hope that clarifies.

    Thank you for the reply!
    Then I am wondering if it is allowed to log-on with multiple accounts in one device either simultaneously or not, as long as it is owned by one person.

    Because the rule says:
    "2.7 Account Sharing - Account sharing and giving away accounts is prohibited with no exceptions. Account sharing is not just limited to having the credentials of another player and/or sharing your own credentials. It also includes being logged in simultaneously on the same device. Each account is to be owned, played by, and used by 1 person only."

    And I sometimes see in the free market that one or two people open bunch of potion markets in the entire market area. This may be done simultaneously or not but presumably done in one device. I have also seen some people logged on simultaneously with two accounts (I guess with one device) for buying scrolls thru megaphones.

    It would be great if you could further clarify this for me
    Great thanks!

    The rule is changed to make it clear that you will get charged with account sharing if two accounts owned by two different people are logged in at the same time on the save device.

    I.E. you can't play on your account on your device and leave it logged on, then give your device to your friend and let your friend log onto their character while leaving your account logged in.

    Hey there!

    Multiclienting is allowed, so long as all of the accounts that are accessed are yours and only accessed by you. When I bring my mules online for storing things, it's not uncommon for me to have 6~10 characters online at once on the same computer.

    There are a few situations in which you cannot use multiple characters on the same machine, and it's clear when that is disallowed, as the game will stop you (you cannot bring multiple characters to Zak, HT, or Scar).

    1. Yes, a player is allowed to have multiple shops opened, whether opened on one device or multiple devices.
    2. Buying items, having a skill mule (Hyper Body, Meso Up, Holy Symbol, etc.), and self-leeching are all very common reasons that someone would be signed into multiple accounts at the same time.

    Thank you everyone for for clarification!
    Then can I collect vote cash with the secondary account and use (store owl, megaphones, etc) it for the main account? simultaneously and in one device?
    I just want to make sure I can do those before I make any action. :)

    The term you're looking for is "multi-clienting", which as explained by Kitt is allowed with the exception of expedition bosses.

    Yes, it is allowed. On this server, voting on multiple accounts is allowed. As mentioned, multi-clienting is allowed for most parts of the game, you can open a few clients on 1 device (and therefore a few accounts) simultaneously.

    Hope this helps.
