Typically it is to avoid metagaming and have peace of mind. But eventually we all figure out who they are anyway.
IIRC Svensk didn't always have it listed in the signature it was him.

Hello! I just want to make sure there is no confusion since This change! Basically my account "MUSPELKVIST" (Which i used to do drow stuff with) is now called Very_Svensk (Which is -THIS- account) |

And the original account (This one) which WAS Very_Svensk is now MOBILE_Svensk (In lack of a better name) This is because i started mixing up accounts and where i sent various letters. Not to Mention i had posted to much on my old very_Svensk account. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION! HOPEFULLY THINGS WILL BE BETTER NOW! <3 |

Why do you have multiple accounts in the first place? |

He's had them for ages. One was for him playing on the surface and the other for him playing drow, I think. Can't answer why, though, Svensk will have to step in and answer that. |

So, I'm a bit curious too actually. Not just to pick on one person, but maybe some insight as to why would help me understand others....? I was on a server before where it was a banable offense to have multiple accts, and I rather liked the idea. |

I don't encourage the practice, but there are some benefits to it. People are clever and will metagame your PC based upon their knowledge of the player, or their knowledge of what they think the player knows. But an unknown player is a wild card for the incidental metagamer. |

Contrary to popular belief, two accounts (one for each PC) helps keep rp apart and causes a lot less confusion then one account for several pcs. Muspelkvist (now called very_svensk) was for the drow Very_svensk (now called mobile_svensk) was for hashim. Yet since we're all human, and humans err - they mixed up and key info was shared between both. Luckily this has been solved! The mobile_svensk account will no longer be used an most of the information there transferred. IF you can pull it off - I'd actually recommend having one account for each PC. |

Can't you match them to your forum accounts or the other way around? Making new a new account and moving your Pc's over to it doesn't take long. I'd always been annoyed at people who's bioware accounts are "Joe" and on the forums they're "Joe125676512611415225" I'm like - Wat? How am i ever going to be able to pm you? Or remember? Or anything?! |

Also, Svensk, you're probably right that it confuses people (I've never asked) and it's probably not hard to change it all (I've never tried). Hence the reason I'm hijacking your name thread for ideas for my new name, though, duh, so submit yours quick!

Sometimes you just need a break from your account and how people perceive said account. I had two forum accounts in the past for that reason: I wanted to prove my diversity in characters without being typecast for my previous characters or opinions. Svensk did the same thing, except with one major difference: he didn't hide it. |

The difference is ...staggering. Do not do a social experiment with alternative HIDDEN accounts - You will ...not like it. |

I've done it. I loved it. My favorite part was how many people (some whom I know well) ignored me-- I felt so free. |
