I have joined the lifetime club during the sale weekend just a couple of questions if someone could help.
It says on the website when you buy a lifetime offer you get a free digital copy of the game, if that is the case on a upgrade where do I get it and does it replace my exsisting account?
Also is it possible to have two accounts, say one for me and one for my daughter on the same pc ?
Before i purchased my LTS, i spoke to an Atari rep through their live messenger service. I hoped to give the copy of the game that was listed with the lifetime to a friend as a present, but i was told it doesn't work like that. If you already have a copy, and then buy the LTS, that second copy makes no difference to your account, and technically it just disappears. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
I know nothing about free digital copies of the game. That said, I don't think it matters much. It really isn't that hard to get the game client. With out an account the client isn't all that useful. You have an account so you've no worries.
As for having two accounts on the same PC, as far as I know it shouldn't be a problem. When you log into the game, you can use whatever accounts you have.
to answer the question about 2 accounts on one pc then yes you can
you only need one game client installed, but you can use as many different accounts with the client as you want. you do not need to reinstall it a second time.
so if you want your daughter to play, you would have your existing account and password, and you would have to set her up with her own account and password. that means buying a new copy of the game (basically to get the account key that comes with it), then setting up a sub.
both of you can then play the game using your own unique accounts via the same game client, just obviously not at the same time.
Thanks a lot for the quick replys guys, had a feeling the other copy just disappeared into the ether - if anyone picks it up while scanning let me know
