Problem - unable to log in multiple toons together (boxing uber-noob)

[D0rd0s1]

I've never boxed in my life. Always seemed taboo, but now i see it's value and wanna figure it out for EQ on EZserver. After a few problems trying to log in and fixing them, I'm at the point where I can load a profile of 4 toons (3 to the character select screen, and 1 to in-game). if i try to maually log in the other 3, my logged in 1 gets kicked. I have a feeling it's because i'm trying to load 4 characters on 1 station name (account?)

I've deleted and reloaded my MQautologin ini multiple times (trying various fixes i've found on other posts about "sorta similar" issues)
I've deleted and remade my profile with the 4 chars, ensuring MQ2login was enabled (it originally wasn't)
I've deleted and reinstalled and updated MQ2 (basically just started over completely) multiple times.

And if i'm right about needing x accounts to run x characters, i have no clue how to creat a new account...links on launcher lead to a dead end. and i don't remember how I started the one I have. Made it almost a year ago, when I heard about Project 1999 and started fiending for nostalgia.

EQ allows you to run 1 character per account at a time. If you wish to run 4 characters, you need 4 accounts, which means 4 station names. Go to www.everquest.com and purchase eq again. Everyone who boxes does the same thing. See upper right corner of their site and it should be self explanatory. You can also play for free on any accounts you create, and upgrade them to gold sometime in the future.

Accounts are free to make, and you can make like 5 or 6 a day without issue. If you make more you might get a flag. I'd slowly make free accounts until you have them all.

Be careful with krono'ing a brand new account though.. wait at least 48 hours before doing so or they'll get flagged as suspicious.

Well, i got my 4 accounts setup. i remember i did my original through P99 site. just created 3 more login accounts.

Which is just.....'Hey, look at this guy over here who's super eager to become a member (something we bug them to do with a popup every time they log in)....in fact....they were a little TOO easy to convince to become a member...hmmm, it's suspicious, we better keep an eye on that one.'
