The purpose of this FAQ is to educate users as to how the Energy sharing between multiple accounts work. In this FAQ three accounts will be used as examples:

  • Account A (paid)
  • Account B (free)
  • Account C (free)

What is a Paid Account?

This is an account where the user, at any time during the account's life, decides to purchase Crystal Energy. This can even be the smallest $0.75 package. Once this purchase is made that account is permanently considered a paid account.

One Computer with Free Accounts

This is the most commonly observed scenario when there is a household shared computer. In this case all free accounts used will share Mist Energy as if they are the same person. If you log on at another computer the system will default to the player with the least amount of Energy. For example, if the owner of Account B has played on Computer B goes to play on the Computer of Account C that computer's Mist Energy reserve will default to whatever Account B had left.

One Computer with Paid and Free Accounts

This is the scenario that allows two people to share a computer and not worry about sharing Mist Energy. Account A and Account B can play on the same computer indefinitely and never share Mist Energy. However, if Account C is introduced to the same computer it will share Mist Energy with Account B only.

Two Computers with Free Accounts

Account B and Account C will not share Mist Energy if they are always used on their own distinct computers. It does not matter if these computers are on the same home network. If one account user logs on using the other computer then system will treat it as multiple free accounts on the same computer and follow the outlined example.
