Created a ticket for this.... wondering if a CSR/Dev/Moderator would respond here...
Not really UserName but no other topic was accurate.
Yesterday I was able to run 2 accounts on same PC. Actually, I often run 3 accounts on same PC. Today when I try (after this lengthy update) I am unable to. I wanted to create this ticket to find out if the ability has been removed, so I searched the Holocron for "multiple accounts" and got:
Can I have multiple Star Wars Galaxies accounts?
You can have as many Star Wars Galaxies accounts as you would like. The following will go over the FAQ's of multiple accounts.
For each account you must have a separate account key.
Each account must have its own subscription.
Each account will be under a separate station name.
You can only have one character per server per account.
To play multiple accounts at once will require multiple computers.

BUT I have been playing multiple accounts on Same PC.
Has this ability been purposefully removed?
So, uhh.... what's the deal?

The Ability to run Multiple instances on one PC was a... it was a work around using an outside code you had to write in a little file.

If you watched carefully the code in the .cfg files has been rearranged (the skip intro command has moved cfg files and changed from =1 to =True)
So far no dev has reported on a new code for reactivating multiple accounts that I've seen.

There is a lot of stuff going on right now so I am guessing this is a low priority. However I would agree if I cant use 2 accts no reason to keep my 2nd acct active as well.

Well as the method for playing two accounts on 1 pc at the same time was a client side hack and could be said to be an unfair advantage, (much easier to use 2 clients on 1 pc than 2 clients on 2 pcs to work in tandem) it was pretty stupid of people to start repeatedly posting how to do it on the games official forums.
Cann't say I'm suprised it got 'fixed.'
