Me and my bro use the same computer to play this game. unfortunately when one of us play the game, then other can't play their's afterwards because the game thinks that we are the same people and synchronize both of our energy.

E.g. Me and my bro both has 100 Mist Energy at the start of today. Then my bro plays the game from 8.00am-9.00am and spends 50 Mist energy. After he log out, I login at 9.00am the same day but my character has mysteriously used up 50 Mist Energy!! The same goes if i played after waiting for both of our Mist Energy to be full, after I quit the game and my bro starts his game, his mist energy mysteriously decreased to the same level as mine.

I'm not sure if this is done intentionally but it really irritates us. This is suppose to be a game for people like us, to enjoy a fairly decent MMORPG. But now I'm thinking I have to spend lotsa $$$ just to buy a separate computer to play this game which is so called "free". How ironic is that?

To the Admin/Support/Whatever... Please fix this ASAP. I like this game. I really hate to stop playing because of a bug like this.

This is intended behavior of

This is intended behavior of the game, not a bug. Please see the Energy FAQ for a more detailed explanation.

This is probably to keep

This is probably to keep someone from getting free energy. For example(all accounts are free accounts):
Someone makes both account A and B.
Then he plays on account A, uses all the mist energy up, then switches to account B.
Account B won't have any energy, so this trick won't work.

Here's a 2nd scenario:
Someone has account A and then computer A and B.
He uses his mist energy on computer A, then switches to computer B.
Since he is using the same account, this trick also won't work.

I hope this a good example.

I think his problem is that

I think his problem is that he has no credit card or other account available to use in processing a payment, not that he can't find three quarters laying around somewhere.

A player somewhere on the forums did find a solution wherein he purchased a special kind of game card in a store that could be used online for the funds transfer, but I didn't keep the link... might be found with some digging.
