Okay, I've read in the FAQ we're allowed TWO FREE ACCOUNTS so I setup one on my computer, and then my friend that's renting a room here in the house came in and saw the game and wanted to play, so he went into his room and setup an account on his computer, everything was great for about 3 days... until today.

Today my friend's computer some how got a virus and it's unusable until we reformat it, so my friend wanted to come play the game on my computer, while i worked on reformatting his for him.

Friend logs into his account on my computer, and suddenly upon login to find he's -50 mist short some how... I don't understand what happened? he doesn't either. Does this game just randomly 'eat' mist if you login to your account on someone else's computer?

Yes both are free accounts, we've been happy enough with casual play like that. Any help would be appreciated.

-Signed, confused and upset.

If you played before him and

If you played before him and left the game with only 50 Mist Energy left he would log on to only have 50 Mist. The system works so that it defaults to the computer or account with the smallest amount of energy.

That still makes no sense,

That still makes no sense, what we're trying to understand, is it's two completely different accounts, why does his lose mist if he logs into it on my computer? What happened and what's wrong?

We need to know to prevent this from happening again.

You really don't want to play

You really don't want to play on someone else's computer unless one of you has bought crystal energy with real money, or else from then on your mist energy tanks will be linked. You should be able to fix it by buying some CE, if you want you could buy it for one account and split the costs then give each other equal amounts of CE.

Free accounts share the same

Free accounts share the same Mist energy pool when used on the same computer. There is no way around this. This means that as long as you and your roommate share the computer you have to share the same 100 Mist Energy you get every 22 hours. The Mist counter will always default to whatever free account on that computer has the least energy.

The only way to avoid this is to either go back to separate computers all the time or for one person to have a paid account.

i think all the information you want is on this page

they implement this to stop people from creating multiple accounts and just use the mist energy to craft for UVs
