How to play multiplayer with same account

[Star and Moon]

I really want to play Tekkit online with my brother, but I need another account to do so, and I really don't feel like spending an extra 20 dollars just to play multiplayer. Is there anyway to cheat through and play with the same account? Help would be very appreciated.

Why would you need to buy another account to play online? Unless you mean your brother needs an account. In which case, there is a way for you to avoid paying for the new account.

Have him pay for it.

It's sort of the other way around...

1) Disconnect from internet/lan.

2) Login fails, choose offline mode.

3) Reconnect to internet/lan.

4) join game in progress.

Hope that helps.

All the same, there is no way to cheat through and have multiple players on one account.

^Never heard of trying that, I'd think It would cause a issue with both players being on the same server though...

Hey thanks, I'll try that.

I'm interested to hear if that works or not. Please post results.

To preserve anonymity (and also to make it simple), I will use the names Alice and Bob.

Both Alice and her brother Bob have Minecraft/Mojang accounts, but only Bob has actually bought minecraft. Alice is on computer A, Bob is on computer B. They want to have a game of Tekkit lite. So:

1. Bob logs into the Technic launcher Computer A with his login name and downloads tekkit lite.
   
2. Bob tells Alice she really should pay for the game. Alice feels sad that she has not bought the game
   
3. Alice disconnects Computer A from the network and tries to log in. She chooses Offline mode and the game starts up.
   
4. Alice feels sad she has not bought the game
   
5. Alice connects the network cable to Computer A
   
6. Alice feels sad she has not bought the game
   
7. Alice starts a single player game
   
8. Alice feels sad she has not bought the game
   
9. Alice connects the network cable and chooses Open to LAN.
   
10. Alice feels sad she has not bought the game
    
11. Bob logs in on Computer B with his minecraft account and joins Alice's game
    
12. They play together while remembering that Alice has still not bought the game.
    

They decide that they don't want to play tekkit lite anymore, they want to play tekkit classic. So:

1. One of them downloads the Tekkit classic server and sets it to offline mode in the server config.
   
2. Alice fells bad that she has not bought the game.
   
3. They start the server
   
4. Alice fells bad that she has not bought the game.
   
5. They repeat steps 1-6 from when they played tekkit lite, but instead of tekkit lite it is for tekkit classic.
   
6. Alice joins the server.
   
7. Alice feels sad she has not bought the game
   
8. Bob logs in (on computer using his account and joins the server.
   
9. Alice feels sad she has not bought the game
   
10. They play together while remembering that Alice has still not bought the game.

I feel the removed steps are actually important.

Just pirate it. If you still like it when you can afford it in the future' date=' buy it then. Also don’t forget to feel bad.

-notch quote-

Personally, I wouldn't take Notch too seriously anymore. He's the guy who thought "Hey, let's make an incredibly bland new terrain generator while the old one was fine!", and proceeded to add thousands of other unfinished features.

It's not even really his game anymore. He abandoned it once he had enough money to just sit around and post on twitter.

There's a George Lucas comparison to be made, here.

Except that George Lucas didn't hand the project over to someone else, but ruined it even more.

Really, the worst thing is that he handed it over to Disney... *shudders*

Oh c'mon, disney may have a bunch of crap TV show wise but you cannot tell me their theatrical release movies are as bad as episode 1 (direct-to-dvd doesn't count).

[GreenWolf13]

Someone on reddit made a post descrbing the situation. It went something like this (not an actual quote):

If George Lucas directs the next three movies, there will be a 100% chance that they will be crap. Of Disney directs them, there is a non-zero percent chance that they will be crap.

So really, we don't have anything to lose.

I am loath to derail a thread usually, but this one I personally feel is on the edge of going south with all the "wink wink" piracy. I feel like handing star wars to disney may have been a good move for the franchize. They cant mismanage it any worse then he did. Also avengers was really good.

It isn't even piracy, that is like saying that playing splitscreen on a console game is piracy. Your friend isn't using it to get minecraft with mods for free, they are using it to play multiplayer with their friend without having to buy a second account. If it WERE piracy, this thread would have been instantly shut down by cheapshot, instead of him wondering what the results would be.

ON TOPIC: The method listed by piousminion should work. I have tried something similar, and I remember it working.

I believe we were talking about star wars.

[spartanyanni]

I believe we were talking about star wars.

I'm interested to see what they will do with he series now. Mostly prequels n'shit, or added stories to the movies.Kind of like Renegade Squadron.

[Cheap Shot]

The should just pick the clonewars cartoons back up where they left off and redo episode III but not shit.

[Patrick9_6]

Personally i don't think this is possible, im not sure though.

[Chefsbrian]

Hey, he retconned a lot before, I'm sure he'd try to get away with redoing an entire section.

But seriously, I agree, if both players joined the same server on the same account, things would break XD
