I expected the same problem, but just tried it. It allowed me in even though I was simultaneously logged in on my PC... In the past, I had been booted out. :/
It looks like they broke it with some kind of security update. I had to log into the game, authorize my computer, check my e-mail, type the confirmation code, kick the cat, and log back into the gateway. The whole gateway is FUBAR. The timers are all wrong, filters don't function properly, valid tasks are grayed out,…
So... I bought the $200 pack and I'm thinking it may have been a stupid thing to do. The game arbitrarily decided which character got the gear. I wanted the gear on a different character... How do I fix this?
