Can I give away my Everquest Evolution disks?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.everquest (More info?)

Now that I am playing Everquest II, is it possible to give away my
Everquest Evolution disks to somebody else who might want to play? My
Brother would like this game and with a machine that has fewer
resources, he likely could not play Everquest II anyway. Can I give him
the disks and let him setup his own account, or will they not allow him
to setup the account since I have already used the CD Key? What if my
account is inactive [it will be on Jan 5, 2005]?

Thanks in advance!

Once the CD key is used, it's worthless. ( I like how the EQ2 account
setup puts it. Something along the lines of "Key consumption" when you
enter the key. >< ) No, he can't buy just a key, either. Basically, if
you quit playing, you have a bunch of neat silver coasters.

Too bad you didn't do this a few months ago when SOE had a sort of
invite a friend month. They emailed users a key that could be used to
set up an account using any EQ Cds to install the base files. That's
all long over with.

You'd have to give him your account as well, he cannot set up a new account
with the CD key you used already. I would not be surprised if this
information is in the FAQ btw, it's been asked soooo many times here.

Bingo.

The CDs are worthless without an account.

Hm, not really. Under "What do I need to play the game?", the FAQ
mentions needing "a valid EverQuest account", but that's a pretty
indirect way of saying "you need to buy another set of disks to get
a CD key so you can open an account".

I'll make a note to add a question about re-using disks.

Give your brother the CD's and your login name and password.
He will need to install the game and patch, then all he has to do is enter your old
login/pass and from there he is set. When your current billing cycle is over, all he
has to do is enter his creditcard/payment info and re-active it. If you want him to
save you current characters, all he has to do it chose a different server and he will
have all character slots open, otherwise he could us one or more of your character
slots ( if available ) to make new characters or use yours.

As others have said, a CD key can only be used once ever to set up an account.

Problem is, if you used the same station account for EQ2, you are making
your EQ2 account 'vunerable'. Vunerable how? If the brother loans his
password out to his new guildmates, etc...

Plus I think at that point you are doing an all access pass, not two
accounts.

Further more, they appear to be worthless without the original account
that was originally setup.

The nice thing is that you can always go back to it months later. I did
that, liked what I saw, and immediately upgraded to Everquest II

I used a new account. I didn't give me an option to chose an existing
account and it didn't allow me to enter my old account name when I
registered ... I was forced to use a new account.

Still you could give away the old EQ account with little regret then.

I set it up with the same account as my EQ1, just by entering that
information when asked for an account and password.

For me it said that my [EQ1] account was "not available". I had to
choose a new account. Bastards ;-)

I think I first switched my billing to the pass thingy, that could be why,
or else it asked me what billing option I wanted, don't really recall off
hand.

I don't know if I've said this yet, but thank you for taking over the
