Changing the key in the registry

will that negate my old account tho ?

[generalbuschmann]

no

I dont think it would either,.. just switch between accounts when you log onto ESO.
I remember many people complaining when AOE3 first launched because if they wanted more then one account so a family member could play they would have to buy the game again, so you shouldn't have a problem.
ES never limited accounts per computer, I dont see how they could anyhow..

whatever u do dont log in with ur already existing account onto the new copy. this will count as ur "new account"

Thanx folks...but its more trouble than its worth!

Cant you just create a new account, when you try to log on ESO? There you can type your new cd key for the new username. Correct me if it's wrong, i never tried it.

Not true- each acount has it own key that why only one account per cd key.


to change your cd key go Run >RegEdit> find aoe { I thought it was PID or PIN you put into run ??)

then you can change the CD key.

it is true, its happened to me so...

[generalbuschmann]

i dont think so, if you click on the create account button and type in your old account it will say that there is this account already, if you just log in nothing should happen and you can still create a new account
