    Default Don't Share Your Login!

    Hey guys, I thought I should warn you that if you share your account details (player name and password) then you risk your account being locked out. Basically your IP address will be checked when signing in and if multiple locations are recorded you will get locked out. Any problems, let me know.

    Does this mean, if for example I try and play on a different computer, I will be locked out as well? Or is it simultaneous sessions?

    It is quite lenient. You can log in from different locations but if it counts too many in 24 hours the account gets locked.

    Ah ok, that makes sense.

    That means i can't keep changing proxies to login(or browse with ultrasurf, tor, or whatever like that?) i'm pretty sure you'll get some of these, there's always some paranoid guy around...

    Hey, why's everybody looking at me?

    hehe, iirc NSS5 only uses a proxy if you configure the settings.ini to do so. I use Hotspot Shield at times as well to use Hulu, no biggie

    Hi, sorry if this has been asked elsewhere, but is it possible for me to register for premium now (at work) and then be able to log in on my laptop at home?

    Also, would me and brother be able to share an account, on different laptops, or would we both have to pay for premium separately?

    Yes, you can register at work and play at home. The IP is only checked when you play the game and you are allowed to log in from several different locations anyway.

    People shouldn't really share an account because you will keep overwriting each others details on the leaderboard, but I don't mind so much if it is a family member.

    Ok thanks for the reply.

    It may be best to get a separate account then, although neither of us are too bothered about the online leaderboards, only the actual career mode. Sharing an account shouldn't affect this, should it?

    No not at all. Only if the player name is used from lots of different places on the same day is it a problem. 2 or 3 locations will be fine.

    If I want to continue a career on another PC, can I just copy the save file and the settings?
