Due to the nature of Time merge and it's delicately balanced RPG system, having more than one account at any time is not permitted. If there are multiple people in a household using Time merge, each person is permitted one account.

Below are the consequences for creating multiple accounts:
1st Offense: All account are banned permanently, excluding the original account. (ex. Â If you have 3 accounts ,one was created on January 23rd of the current year, the other July 23rd of the same year, and December 23rd of the same year, then the ones created on July 23rd and December 23rd will be banned, and the oldest account being the January 23rd account, will remain unbanned.)
2nd Offense (aka: You do it again, even after all but the original account are banned): All accounts are banned permanently, the original account is only banned for 1 week per account created after the first account (ex. You had three accounts, you are banned for 2 weeks. You had 5 accounts, you are banned for 4 weeks. Etc.).
3rd Offense(aka: You do it again, even after you've been banned for a period of time): Â All accounts are banned permanently.
