2nd account
You'll need to get another game license; you could snag one on NCSoft's store or you may be able to find an old copy of COH sitting in a bargain bin somewhere. Remember you'll get a free month with another game so that's $15 in value right there.
I've been maintaining two accounts for about 4 years now; frankly I forgot the second account was even there for a year or so, then I didn't want to give up the vet badges. I don't dual box very often... usually only to PL a lowbie on the other account. I have enough problems running ONE character well; I'd just be able to screw up two characters much faster.
COH has just been murdered by NCSoft. http://www.change.org/petitions/ncso...city-of-heroes
You can use one of your existing accounts, but yes you will need to input a retail code to use it after the trial time has expired.
Thanks guys. I'll look around for an old copy of Coh/CoV then.
If you're not set on using one of your existing trial accounts, you can also "Refer a Friend" from your first account. That will allow you to start a new account, and apply the retail code as mentioned above, but you will get a free month of play time on your main account too.

All players welcome!
Yeah, I just bought one from amazon last night for like 2.99! The shipping was more than the game!
My problem is mostly that I wouldn't be happy without all the addon packs I've gotten (I love to play with my dollies!) and the CoH online store is a nightmare for me for some reason -- I can't buy multiple things from it without it freaking out.
If they had a shopping cart so I could just put all the boosters in a cart and pay once, I'd probably have a second account.
Lazy? Me? Naaaaah.
Hey all, quick question that probably has been answered numerous times but I can't find the answer. I've decided that I want a 2nd account. Mostly to help get purp drops, salvage, SG prestige and pvp/arena badges on my badgers. So here is my question. Do I have to purchase a 2nd copy of the game to create a 2nd account? In the past I've made trial accounts under my main NCSoft account for some arena badges. I tried to see if I could just activate one of them, but it wants a serial or game card, and doesnt give me the option of just purchasing time like I can with my standard account. I really have no reason to buy Going Rogue for the 2nd account, since the toons on there will most definitely be used just for helping out my main account. And I don't see just city of heroes/villains on the NCSoft Store page, so i really don't wanna buy GR if i don't have to.
