Sharing accounts.

What if we have family members or room mates who found out about vendetta and they want to play. They want yo use your account but you obviously forbid them.

Can we make it so two people can play on one account at the same time? That would be great 'cause my roommate hacked my computer and found out my account info and he's now using it 24/7.

God damn it, I hate this #@$*er.

Why don't you just change your password? Then he can't get on.

Uhh. How did he find the password? It's not stored anywhere on your machine... I think by hacked, you must mean "looked over shoulder while typing"...

To be honest, he actually but a key log tracker software program in my computer via hacking it and it acts like a peace of spyware but it can't be #$@%ing removed. I tried everything and I mean EVERYTHING!

Did you try formatting your harddrive? Believe it or not, this is encompassed by everything. :)

By the way, what he did could be a crime (depending on where you live) so technically you could threaten him with releasing that information to the police...

What operating system are you running?

Making it usable by two people would mean that people would share their accounts with several people and split the pay...

It's specifically prohibited by the EULA. If this is a dorm situation, I would bet your school has specific rules against such things. He's actually committing a crime against you if you are paying for the game.

Pretty hard to install a keylogger on Linux in general, let alone Linux booted from a LiveCD.
(and before anyone says anything, yes, I have run Vendetta from a Knoppix LiveCD. It works.)

There are a variety of anti-spyware programs out there. Most cost something, but will save you money if you've actually been infiltrated.

If you can identify the key logger, you can likely find a way to disable it by doing an online search.

It's a crime. You payed for the account. End of story.

Oh your all too kind.
But we managed to work things out.

Well, lets just say that the baseball bat did a bit of help.
