Looking at
this it seems that you will be able to play multiple characters on the same account at the same time, you just need to have registration codes for each character. So in my case, I need 2 copies of the game and should be good to go...unless I'm completely misunderstanding this.
No, this was already explained to you in another thread Skinwalker.
If you are only ever going to play a single account at one time,
then you only need one copy of the game. It doesn't matter how many times you install it across PCs (install it on 4,000 PCs for all SE cares).
1 Square-Enix account, 1 FFXIV account (PC only) If you want to play on EITHER PC OR PS3, then you need to link a PS3 copy to your account. Either, or. Not together.
1 Square-Enix account, 1 PC account with a PS3 code linked to that account If you want to play on PC AND PC
simultaneously, then you need TWO copies/registration codes for FFXIV. If you want to play on PS3 AND PC at the same time, then you need to register your code for PC (if you didn't already have one from 1.0) and then register ANOTHER FFXIV account separately.
1 Square-Enix account, EITHER { 2 FFXIV accounts (PC) } OR { 1 FFXIV account (PC), 1 FFXIV account (PS3) } If you want to multi-box you have to have multiple registration codes. SkinwalkerAsura wrote:
This is where I'm confused. According to
this you can enter up to 8 registration codes onto one account and use them at the same time, but will there be a fee for each registration? The PC/PS3 has a different set of rules, check the link. Maybe going from PC to PS3 is what tripped you up.
That tells you exactly what was posted in the previous thread and from the other posters above.
Want to tri-box on Windows? Buy three codes, create 3 FFXIV accounts.
Want to play on PS3 OR PC? Buy a copy of each and link them both under 1 FFXIV account.
Want to play PS3 AND PC simultaneously? Buy a copy of each, but create separate FFXIV accounts.

If you want to multi-box in FFXIV/WoW/LotRO/Rift/FFXI/SWTOR/Everquest....
You only need 1 Square-Enix/Battle.net/Turbine/Trion Worlds/Square-Enix/Origins/Sony account, but you need however many FFXIV/WoW/LotRO/RIFT/FFXI/SWTOR/Everquest accounts you wish to simultaneously use created to multi-box.
