Opening Multiple Accounts

    Hello,

    I need some clarification with regard to opening more than one IP Shared Account at the same time in a browser (Chrome for example).

    I found the following:-

    "Can I play simultaneously in multiple Game accounts within the same Lobby account? Yes, you can. Each Game account will be automatically opened in a new tab keeping the Lobby account open in the first tab."

    Source:- https://forum.ikariam.gameforg…ikariam-lobby-faq-qa-pdf/


    I tried this but if I have more than one account open, when I access one of the accounts in a Chrome tab it reverts to the last one opened, so I end up with two tabs with the same account.

    I have 7 accounts that are IP Shared so it is beneficial to have them all open at the time rather than open one, close it, open another, close it, and so one for each account.

    I am keeping the Lobby account open in the first tab and each subsequent account. The one that tells you not to close before the account tab fully opens.

    I hope that is clear.


    If you have 7 accounts on 7 different servers, you can have 7 browser tabs open at the same time.

    But if you have 7 accounts on the same server, you can't view them all together on different tabs in the same browser.

    MAYBE... but I'm not sure... you can do it if you use different browsers.

    But I don't recommend it.

    It will just confuse you.

    You'll build what you shouldn't... destroy what you should build...

    On the same server, play with one account at a time.

    Pretty much what I thought but the PDF I discovered confused the issue somewhat.

    Obviously if I have the accounts IP Shared they are on the same server. I just started another one on another server and will eventually use Asphodel to move it to that server as well.

    It confirms what you said as I can have that server open while the IP Shared one is open.

    Obviously some technical reason for this but a pity as I'm constantly closing one account so I can open another and do the usual maintenance. Keeps me very busy.


    Thanks for the quick reply.


    Mods can close if necessary.

    If you're willing to use Firefox, you can use containers.

    Personally, I use FireFox and I have 10 Ikariam containers so I can keep 11 accounts on the same server open at the same time. You do have to log in 11 times, though, but once you're logged in, each container can host an account on the same server.

    Are you sure they're enabled?

    They're working fine for me.


    Can you take a screenshot of your container setup and your browser tabs that aren't working?


    Make sure you right click a new tab and then pick the container you made for your second instance of Ikariam. If you do it correctly, you will have to log in again, even if you're already logged in on your primary container.
