Edit: Something tells me that you guys don't share you games with a brother :D

Virtually all MMO's have clauses in their User Agreements that prohibit sharing of accounts, Aces High being among them.  However, unlike most MMO's AH doesn't offer the ability of multiple characters on a single account and that is something that most MMOs do offer and maybe Aces High should as well.

yeah maybe  if they wanted to do that, they could at an additional expense, maybe call it a premium acct , or have something like

bronze acct = 1 username  cost ( same 14.95 )
silver acct = 2 or 3 user names  cost an additional 5.oo dollars
gold acct = 5 user names  cost an additional 10 dollars.......

or something of sorts, I'd bet almost every user would for go the silver acct at least........

just an idea........but since the game is setup to log your IP, you could not have more than 1 user name logged on at the same time?    :D

I think it's pretty common for some father/son teams to use the same account until the kid wants his own. I have no problem with that- anything you can share with your kids is great!

If we had multiple characters, most of us would be  stunninghunks in 5 different names:rofl

The account I play on is shared by my brother and I, no reason to pay twice.  I mainly tank, bomb things and strafe ground targets.  He prefers to dogfight.  It works out for us.

I love to GV and do Jabo missions vs GVs, get used to it.  Being good at one helps in the other.

Have to agree with that as this was my case for a month or two before my son got his wings.

and...AAolds has been a fun fight both on the ground and in the air with no hint of "funny biz"so no probs there.  Like most things this comes down to the user and his motives for having multiple accounts.

We did that for a while.  One summer my dad, brother and myself all sat around the computer taking turns on who got to fly.  (limited by one puter and joystick)  but now its' mine all mine.

One xmas I go back to visit my folks and set up AH to play a bit, my little nephew wants to play so I say ok.

Come back to find out he upped a tempest or a 262 or something off a vulched airfield, I can just see the local channel chatter, dohhhh!! dredger upped a 262 AGAIN!!!!

Disagree having multiple names is a bad idea.

In FA you could have 5 and lets say before they added the associated nick feature people would hunt in shades and ack like real punks then swap back to their normal nick.

Letting someone else play on the account is a nice idea but make them pay extra for the privelege.  

It makes it harder to build a community when people change, edit and play as different names and act like stunninghunks in them.

Agreed...tho letting my brother play on my account a couple of nights didn't hurt anyone, and he eventually got his own cause he loved it...in the long run it was better, now there are 2 users.  As far as letting my nephew play, I think I've paid enuf.

btw, u live in Portsmouth...what a neat city.  I made it a point to go there last time in England, to see the HMS Victory and royal navy museum..thot it was fantastic.  We had to hide from press gangs though, trying to make us serve on some british ship.  (ok, srry for hijack, enuf said)
