I kinda doubt the 5 accounts per household limit has been enforced in a very long time. The actual limits they currently use are 5 per email address, 5 per IP address, and 2 per day. As me and my 50 or so alts prove, that is not a very hard limit. And before someone accuses me of being a bot runner, I have a perfectly legitimate reason for all those alts, and I almost always have only one logged in at a time. And 13 are premiums, so I pay a fair amount in total. |

It was being enforced in the software as recently as last year: registering a sixth account on the same email address or adding a sixth account to the same payment info was not permitted. I have the same payment info used on 22 accounts (used as in I bought L$ on each of them). |

Lexie is dead wrong about "You can create up to five accounts per household.". They absolutely ARE NOT enforcing that one, in any way, shape or form. What they ARE doing is still enforcing a limit on the number of accounts that can use a single payment method. You can put 5 on any one credit card. But they will happily let you regiester 5 more on another card, or an infinite number of alts that have no payment info at all. |

This wasn't my experience, I have alts with no payment and when I tried to create a new account I got a message that I'd used my limit. |

On 3 different machines now with 3 different IP addresses in 2 different states. _____________________

Inconsistency from Linden Labs? Inconceivable!
