    So, me and my girlfriend are watching the QL, and we now think this looks awesome. And we want it. Badly. But then there is the fee. We don't have time to play enough to justify a monthly fee, so a lifetime subscription is more like it. But that is pretty expensive, so we will only be able to buy one.
    Here is my question: Is it possible to install this game on two PCs, and use one account for the both of us? I know you can create several Heroes, but can you do it this way?
    If you can, will it be able to play at the same time? I kinda doubt it, but if you can that would probably make us buy this.

    I think MMOs would lose a lot of money, and a lot of credit card info. 
     
    Since I can't think of an MMO that does this, I would say no.

    Yeah, I really doubt you can play on two computers at the same time. But what about having it installed on two computers, who use the same account, just not at the same time?

    Thanks for the answers! Gonna buy one lifetime sub then. Seems like a game you can come back to time and time again due to the customizability, so it is really a good deal.
    Haven't ever played a MMO with a montly sub, due to time and money. I don't like the feeling of having to play to get most out of the money.

    Yeah, it looks awesome, and I know we will both have a lot of fun with it.
    To put it this way, my girlfriend (and I to a certain extent) hates MMO's. I have only played Anarchy Online (since it was free) and I had a blast, even though I didn't do that much in the game. I tried Eve Online for a few weeks (free trial) and had fun, but I have yet to find a "WoW type" game to play. I have heard a bit about this game, and kinda wanted it, but didn't want to know much in case I ended up obsessed :P
    Then me and my girlfriend saw the QL. I expected her to say only bad things, but she said "We need that game" :P
    So yeah, I think this is gonna rock.
     
    But now I realized I need to buy the game pluss the lifetime sub. Which kinda sucks, but I got it fairly cheap from Play.com.

    It's only like $15, you can spend that much at an arcade in one day easy. $15 doesn't go a long way nowadays so I don't think it's unreasonable. Anything over $25 would definitely be a cutoff price for me.

    @Ahmad_Metallic:

    Like a lot of MMOs, it has a monthly fee.  $15/mo in this case, unless you buy a lifetime subscription for $200.
