no that wasnt a joke if you look the new program has SETUP in it and is thousands of times smaller than the games executable file. It works

For those of you hardcore fans that just HAVE to have a workaround now, there is on. Multiple users on XP. Just create/change to a new user, and you can start a second instance....of course....this is going to be a trememndous waste of time. But if SOE don't fix it, I see no reason to stay around anymore.

i dont think is intentional - SoE will loose almost 1/2 of subscriptions (i canceled my alt subscription) and i know ppl with 3 , 4 accounts
So GOOD LUCK SOE !!!
This is the beggining of the end for you.
Hope you will fail

Ummm that posting you have a clicky for only shuts down your client, which means it shuts down your SWG all together.. That was a joke Flucka
Tiggs has indicated it as a bug.
The "clickied" workaround is doable as I am using it.
Thanks for the clicky!!

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.'

Ya know I hate to be negative, but you are talking from your rear end. playing 2 accts is NOT a hack nor is it an exploit. There is NOTHING in the rules that says you cannot play 2 accts from 1 computer nor would it matter because if you had 2 computers it would be the same thing. YOu cannot play both screens at one time, nor does your PC run at 100% due too 2 SWG running at once, so if anything they have a disadvantage.. Lets not speak on issues you dont know about
As the original poster noted on the in game Holocron:
"To play multiple accounts at once will require multiple computers."
As Paragraph 7 of the ULA says:
"You may not decrypt or modify any data transmitted between client and server"
As you said:
"...you are talking from your rear end... Lets not speak on issues you dont know about"
