Are you allowed to have both Gold and Silver accts

Google has not been helpful to me in trying to find this out. I am eager to get back in game. I do not want to convert my Gold account to Silver, because I would lose a lot of BOs in the process, and since you can't convert from Gold to Silver back to Gold, I would lose all that work and the fact that I create my BOs for story purposes. Is it legal for me to start a Silver account, and then also play my Gold account once I have the money? I'm not talking about a workaround, I'm talking about what is within the PWE TOS.

Thanks

I don't *think* there's any rules against have two accounts. I doubt Cryptic would care as the silver account is limited as it is and might give you a reason to spend some coin in the Z-store. :P

I thought I had read a rule against it when things were about to go F2P. Is there anyone out there with better Google mastery than myself who can confirm or deny? Thanks

I can't recall and I can't check on my phone but the ? At the end of most of the limits used to say 'after 20hr of gameplay and or u had a sub the limit would be lifted' again I can't dbl check ATM

That's not how STO is structured.

My Google-Fu may be weak, but I can not find anything suggesting one way or the other. Any googling about both gold and silver accounts seems to call up the Matrix comparing them, but nothing more of import.

STO/PWE would be very odd if they really did cause hassle over having more then one account. I think the only issue would be using secondary/alt accounts to bypass bans for try to break EULA.

Others like EVE Online have no such issues and are happy for you to have as many accounts as you like. Even if many of them only get paid for with in game PLEX and not actual money. Ultimately an alt account is a chance at upping the player counts.

I am happy to petition it for an answer if others have not already?

An official answer would be nice, someone suggested I call but I don't have enough minutes on my phone for that.

No worries. I will raise a petition or however you contact a GM in STO for an answer as well.

After all. What would stop you creating a new email from gmail etc and using that and details to create a silver account in theory? They cant really have issues unless you try to breach EULA using different accounts.

Just as soon as I can log in I will ask. Hopefully it wont take too many days for a reply...

I miss having everyone to talk with so much. I suppose I could chat with everyone in the fleet via my Champions account but I'm not sure you guys would like that. That's the thing I don't like about Champions, or at least the group I'm in, people only talk about the game, they don't converse.

Okay, installing so I may have a new Silver account in the next couple of days. :) Or sooner, dang, this computer is fast!
