Questions: Multiple accounts and Wiki edits

[ghaskan]

Greetings,

As indicated by the title, I have some questions regarding two topics: Multiple accounts and edits on the Wiki.

Regarding Multiple Accounts:

I have seen and heard about people who send requests to Kretol asking for a second account, though this is still shrouded by some mystery when it comes down to me.

First off... Can anyone ask for an extra account, or do you have to fill any sort of special requirements?

Second, when can you ask for a second account? Do you need to fill another account previously? If yes, do all the characters need to be approved?

Finally, can you move characters across accounts freely (there's a "Move Character" feature, apparently)?

As for Wiki Edits:

I've seen a thread indicating what you can edit, but it's rather old and it does not include format edits (what I want to change the most, basically). As such, I ask... what can we edit in our characters' pages? What edits need a GM's approval?


And, might as well throw a miscellaneous question to avoid more topics...
Are the dailies for IC currency working? I can't find the herbs the quest asks for anywhere, but then again, it might be due to my poor eyesight. ^^;


That's it for now. Thanks a lot for your time,
ghaskan.

Hello!

As for your first question, anyone can ask for a second account as long as they're 'Grunts'. Just upload a ticket in-game asking for a second account and Kretol will mail you the info for it.

You can move characters freely from one account to another, as there is a character transfer tool. To get to it simply look up to the 'Main Menu' section on the top left of the page, go to 'Components' and scroll down until you find a 'Character Transfer' picture. Click it and a window will pop up with things you need to fill in for transfer. (Account name, password, name of character, etc.)

As for your second question, from what I know, any edit in the wiki requires GM approval before changing anything.

I am able to answer the one about multiple accounts. Just make a ticket in-game, asking for a new account. He will create one, and it'll be your current username with a number on the end. (2 if it's your first time asking for a new account). He will also send you the password in-game. You can change the password in-game.

What I forgot to add because I wanted to be FIIIIIIRST: ... Well, you also have to be a grunt.
* Ebenezer is still noob, appearently.

You can move characters freely. Useful for when you need to be on certain alts simultaneously. Your add-ons' cache (Elephant and icon positions) won't carry over, however, so it's better to move them back when you're done.

As far as I know, you're allowed to make minor changes to a profile such as hair colour, nicknames, etc., but not to anything that you could feasibly be doing to worm out of the approval process, like giving a night elf red eyes, or claiming they're the daughter of Tyrande, for instance.

This means you can also change the format of your profiles at your discretion, because it doesn't change anything significant (and I wish more people would, if only so I didn't have to). You can add images, colour, and rearrange things to your heart's content.

I don't do dailies. Ask me one on sport!

The plants you need to find for the IC Currency daily grow at the base of trees.
Just run up to a tree and see if it has a briarthorn looking thing. They also have the golden sparks.

First off, thanks to all who replied. Saying this here so I don't become repetitive, but the feeling is towards everyone.

Awesome, seems easy enough and I fulfill the requirement. Being on two characters at the same time could prove to be useful...

Great, time to pick some pictures and use my lackluster Wikicode knowledge to make my character profiles a little prettier. If I ever want to change content, I think I'll go the safe route and contact a GM, then.

I would ask questions on sport, if I knew enough about it myself. :P

Derp. I really need a new pair of glasses, heh. I'll check that place once I can get ingame and then I'll report back my progress!

Mmm, I got another question. When multiboxing, do you need two client folders, or just two accounts?

[Hawk]

You don't need another WoW folder. Just load up a second WoW.exe and log into different accounts.

Awesome, thanks!

Also, finally found the herbs for the IC Currency daily quests. Huzzah! This case...topic may rest in peace now.

I highly recommend you get Herbalism if you wish to do the IC Currenly dailies often. You can get up to three professions in this server if you already took up two.

[Kretol]

Don't forget the currency quest is a weekly. Eventually I intend to add an alternative quest or two (so you can choose which to do for the week), but only one will be possible per week.

Sounds like a fair trade, but I kinda went overboard with crafting professions on my main. :P Might take the advice on characters who won't use all 3 profession slots for anything else.

Oh, so that explains why I hasn't seeing it, thanks Kretol! Alternative quests would be good, the current one isn't hard but maybe different class/profession combos could benefit from different objectives, I assume.
