Thanks, but if you'd had read my previous posts, this techinique is exactly what I personally tried since early in the beta process and failed each and every time. I get the error message saying this account is already in use on the server. I've duplicated this on every single server I've ever tried to log into. Why it works for you and not me? Haven't qa clue there. Now if you say it works, I'll just have no choice but to believe what you experience is completely different than what I experience (sort of agreeing to disagree).

Apparently, this "technique" simply works for some, but doesn't work for all. I will leave this post and thread up and alive because it is impossible for this to ruin the MP experience for everyone since obviously not everyone actually can do this. We've proven that right here in this post.

Stinger now you've got me wondering why it doesn't work for you...lol. Its strange because I know many people that use it and I've not heard of one person getting any errors. From your posts you make it sound as though you're putting in a previously assigned MP ID. If this is the case, then you're correct, it will not work. To make this work you have to allow FL to generate another ID on its own. Another thing just occurred to me also. Are you running the 1.1 patch? I don't since it was only for server-side use but maybe that is causing the problem?

yup, server patch installed due to having a server running for some time on the other user I created.
