hmm Looking at how this game is Energy center... I would like to ask how things would look for two persons that would want to play in one household?

Is it even possible?

I got one account for myself, and since my mom is a gamer as well (with MMOgames as well)(and known that energy is shared on all 3 characters on one account) i wanted to bring her to this game...but when created new account and trying to create test character if it even works i noticed the balance of energy on that account was the same on mine... why?

For some reason, your energy

For some reason, your energy is shared between both accounts on the same computer. Possibly the same IP address. I've realized that if one account pays actual money for some energy, though, then the mist pool becomes seperate from the other one.

EmiyaShirou, the system is

EmiyaShirou, the system is like that because people were making a lot of extra accounts just to use the free ME---it was giving them an unfair advantage over the people like you, who were being honest about their playing.

It doesn't matter how much CE you buy, even just $0.75 will have the two accounts not share ME. Note that all characters on the same account will still have to share energy, but a free account and a paid account will not.

Not quite...

My wife and I both play SK, with different accounts, and we don't have this problem. The solution seems to be to have separate user accounts on your computer (we have this set up on the desktop computer). You have to download the game to each user account separately. So it's not an IP address issue, but more along the lines of the game recognizing that you're playing from the same copy of the game.

Correct. Two computers using

Correct. Two computers using their own free accounts on the same home network will not share energy.
