My brother and I have been playing spiral knights together on the same macintosh for about 3 days now. We soon realised that our mist energy was shared between the two of us (for no apparent reason, and it really sucks). I have 2 questions
1. If my brother played on our other PC and I played on the mac would our ME still be shared between our two accounts? So does the ME sharing rule only apply to the machine you are using? Or the household you are in? Or Email even? (we used the same email address to sign up)
2. From what I gather, ME will not be shared between 2 accounts if one of them buys energy with real cash. Would this be a permanent effect or just a daily sort of thing that would eventually wear off? I dont want to have to spend money everyday just to stop my brother from using my fair share of ME.
P.S to stop ME energy being shared do both my brother and I have to purchase ME? Or just one of us?
I would be extremely grateful to receive help with this, because honestly, im stumped.
From what I understand (from the wiki energy FAQ http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Energy_FAQ ), mist energy is shared between all unpaid accounts on a single computer.
So, if you buy CE (with real money. buying in game for crowns won't work) even once, your account is permanently considered paid, and you don't share mist energy any more.
In addition, moving one account to a different computer should also stop the energy sharing, but you'll have to be careful to stay on the different computers, because if you log into one computer with an account that was used in the 2nd computer, the energy on the first computer would be changed to that of the account.
