How do you share mist pools with new accounts and purchases from your Steam account, and is there a max number of accounts you can have on the same computer if you keep purchasing on the spiral accounts?
To those of you who made a few or several purchases to your 1 Steam account...

Those who's made a few
Those who's made a few purchases on a Steam account instead of a non-Steam account, do you feel gipped in any way about not knowing about how you could've paid for a non-Steam account and made another free account without sharing mist? I've made 3 purchases on the same Steam account, but can't even get other accounts like other people did. Feels like I'm not getting the full potential of my money's worth, and I am a good customer.
I've emailed them about it before, but they said that they cannot help me right now as of this moment. I wonder if they will help transfer the number of times you've paid to the number of accounts you could make.
I've tried making different knights, but they still share mist pools unsurprisingly. I wonder if you could create different account names for steam and therefore different spiral knights accounts/games? But then I don't want to make wasteful space on my hard-drive and have many of the same Spiral Knights files on storage.

Since Steam uses the steam
Since Steam uses the steam id, there's only one possible account for each steam client. It's a valve limit, not sk.

well...
You can make as many SK accounts as you want in addition to the steam account.
My main is in steam, my alts aren't.
NOTE: Not more knights in one account, you must sign up multiple times to have more than one USERNAMES for the separate mist to work.

Seconding what Stavrosg said,
Seconding what Stavrosg said, I just made a mist alt last night for rage crafting. Just make a new account on the website and jump into the game, if your steam SK account has already made purchases your new knight should show up with full-ish energy (mine showed up with 95 mist, I'm not sure if that's intentional).

That's intentional, you spent 5 mist to get out of the drop pod. X-D

I have made up to my 4th
I have made up to my 4th account, but it is sharing mist with my 3rd account that is not a paid account. I've already paid for the first two non-steam accounts which is why the 3rd remains a free account. But I've made 3 extra purchases on my Steam account. You can't run 2 steam SK accounts simultaneously because it is all under one steam account. If i make another steam account, the problem is the wasted storage space to save another SK game.
I've emailed the staff awhile ago about it, but they said they can't do anything about "transferring" purchases from Steam to a non-steam account or something like that:
Greetings,
Only free accounts share the same mist pool. Any accounts which have purchased
an energy package are upgraded to paid and will receive their own mist pool.
We cannot transfer the paid status from one account to another currently.
Hopefully this helps.
Best wishes,

Ugh, again, the deadline time
Ugh, again, the deadline time is never specified for special events and this time no notice has been sent for the explorer's pack. They could've at least emailed a notice in the game that the explorer's pack deal was coming to an end. I was going to get one for my alternate since OOO isn't going to bother with the multiple purchases I've had on steam. Real shady.

Sigh...
Ever bothered reading announcements? They specified right there that the sale was ending on January 2nd.

I have. But I kept thinking
I have. But I kept thinking in my mind that these promotional events ended around midnight and that the servers has some auto clock function to ended automatically at that time but differently for each regional time zone. I saw the promotional event on January 2nd going on still, so I waited until my character had enough mist, or contemplated on when I should buy the pass. Anyway, I've heard of the Punking event ending around noon, and I believe there was a notice that told us that. I live in the PST zone.
There's no maximum for the number of paid accounts you can have. Three Rings encourages you to send them your money in whatever convoluted ways you deem fit.
