    I'm going to go out on a limb and say the virtual items he is referring to are like the pre-order items (jobe apartments, leets, mech, chair).. the stuff you can get automatically whenever you start a new character on your account.

    Its all about money... You think FC does this to make you happy? yes they do, they make you happy by making more money. I am happy with the new changes of accounts however I spend more moeny.

    Selling of accounts will be an all time high.. thinking about.. How many people have 6 toons on one account that are 220 end game? 100's, how many use all of them? they cant.. so.. 6 220 toons on one subcription is a waste. So lets divide them up and get 6 subcriptions.. Brilliant.

    Its just freaking brilliant.. heck (ler) I am happy that I can soon split my toons up so I can super log like Arty

    Well... wouldn't mean main account + sub account = 2 accounts to pay?
    Because then, except for the "char-tossing" between accounts, and the higher Vet Points from the main account, I see no reason to make one and can just stick with my 2 separate ones. Besides, it even happened that my 2nd account has bought stuff from Paid Points like the Sunrise apt that my main account doesn't have because I used the PP's for something else. That would be lost then I guess?

    The option to create the veteran sub account is already on the account page. Someone try it and tell us what happens

    The way I see it, it's a good deal for people who want to create new accounts.
    They get a new account with all the expansions, 'preorder' items and VeteranPoints of their "main" account, plus two months gametime, for the price of... roughly two months gametime. It's a good deal.

    What's more interesting for those of us who already have multiple accounts, is if we'll be able to use the character transfer feature as well.
    And for those of us who created multiple accounts before the AoC launch (which was when they added the 'child account' possibility), the even more interesting question is: Will we finally be able to change a 'main' account into a 'child' account of another account?

    You choose the main account and then you make an account name for the vet account.

    They used the same password, didn't bother to see if I could change it though.

    Strangely enough the vet account had more Veteran points than the account I linked it to though, but I"m not complaining.

Don't expect Billing to touch that mess with a 10-foot pole. Moving chars from the 'template' account from which the Vet account was created is a vastly easier proposition as no changes occur to the chars moved.
    Yes, it is technical nightmare but that is irrelevant from customer point of view. I still feel like I am not getting the same benefits just because I got my 2nd account earlier and paid full price for every expansion.

    AccountName1 has several game logins associated with it. AccountName2 has several game logins associated with it as well. Will I at any time, be able to move one of my game logins from AccountName2 and make it a game login on AccountName1 so that I can eventually transfer characters between an AccountName1 game login and an AccountName2 login?
    When they added the ability to make subaccounts they said that they would not take old accounts and combine them so essentially, told us that we are SOL.

    This service will create a new Veteran Account for Anarchy Online.

    It works by creating a new account under this account with the name you have specified. The new account will get 60 days of included gametime, all expansions, veteran months and preorder items copied from the existing account. The existing account also retains these items.

    Note: The new account will take up to 10 minutes to be available.
    Also: Gametime and paid points for this account are separate from your existing account. Paid points and remaining gametime are not copied over.


    Just copied that from funcom.com paid services area... looks like paid points don't get transferred

    The way I read it is that the paid points that you have transferred in-game won't be copied. If you have unused paid points under your account you can probably transfer them to your vet account. As it is I think you can create froob account as sub account with your expansion account and transfer paid points that keep piling up every time you pay for your subscription to your froob and get nice "free" bike for the froob.

    I don't get it. I make a vet account to...what, pocket my own alts, dual log with myself to kill things, pay people to give me their characters to play twinked professions I'm too lazy to level? None of these indicate anything other than the game is on life support. Why is making a new alt on a vet account any different or better than making it on a second account? A few vet point items? who cares

    So you get a second account for free with all expansions, vet points etc etc etc... If your thinking about getting a second account its one hell of a sweet deal. Not to mention that if you dont buy all the PP items in the game (like me :P) that will quickly go down to 10 or 15 bucks (or even free), if not even less from PP you have accumulated over the years simply by subscribing, i like it...

    Your transfering a character, not having 2x the same toon.

    Just imagine paying for a new account but being able to move a 220 character of yours onto it if you wanted to.

    FunCom isn't forcing your hand to pay for this :P

    They're just layin down the option for it
