OK, so my original account has a knight on it. This is the only guy that I play.

One day, there was a bug that i had to log on another account that i created to tell someone something to do that got rid of the bug...

Of course, it was not a serious account at all and i didnt pay much attention to it. so, the bug got fixed and i started playing again on my dude but there is an issue.

I read that ME is shared on IP address. so because i made that account to try and solve my bug issue on the same computer, am i seriously getting ripped off mist energy because im unable to go back and cancel that account? And really... will i still be getting ripped off ME even if the fake account's character is at 100 ME?

I have an account that i play on a computer. I have another account that i do not play and used one time to get rid of a bug on said account i do play.

My question is... am i seriously getting ripped off Mist Energy because its shared with that account due to IP address... even though its sitting at 100 ME and not being played?

One tank per computer, pretty much.

The best way to think about your mist is that you have one tank that all character on your computer have to share.

So if you have two accounts, A and B, and you only ever log on A, you will get your full 100 mist on A. You lose nothing by having an inactive alt account. If you try to play with both accounts, they will each have to share the mist allowance.

If you want them to each have separate mist, all you have to do is buy CE with real money on one of the accounts. Even the $3 package is enough to trigger a permanent unique mist tank for an account.

share energy only happens

share energy only happens when 2 or more account have not PURCHASE any CE before on the same IP. so get one of your acc to buy CE and it will be unshared.

Ah. Basically, if you use

Ah. Basically, if you use mist on one account, it gets used on your other account as well. So if you only use your main account and spend 80 mist, you'll see on your other account that you have 20 mist left. Same as if you used mist on your alt, your main will show the remaining. So if you just use your main and ignore the alt forever, everything's the same as before you created it. Except that you now have a spare account that's not being used.

im not sure if this will

im not sure if this will help, but

yes, if you have more than one account on the same IP then they will share the same ME until one buys CE. HOWEVER, this only applies if you use both accounts. if you make an account and never use it again, then it shouldnt bother your ME

OH so you are all saying that

OH so you are all saying that my character will have EQUAL mist as ALL accounts, so that inactive account is actually losing mist as my main account is? so i could also make an account to test out something without making the 1 mist / 14ish minutes become like 1 every half hour?

Yep, your mist usage is

Yep, your mist usage is reflected on ALL your unpaid accounts. Use 50 mist on one, have 50 mist left over showing on the others. Easiest way to test it is to dive into one floor of the clockworks, then check your other accounts to see if you're down a couple of mist.

If nobody plays the other account your mist should not be affected at all.
