Thinking of transitioning off of this avatar and onto one who's name I will like more.

In doing so - how should I go about the whole payment and age verification info, properly?
- That is, will there be a problem if I use the same payment info and age verification for 2+ avatars?

- I have had failure in trying to make a second avatar using the same email address, which is what triggered my concern and paused my efforts.

I use the same email and payment info on both my main and my alt and had no problems with it.
At first did have email problems, but when I gave it a second try, it just worked.

Thanks.

Perhaps once I have a solid new name choice, I'll just give pay / age a try on it and, if your experience follows; I'll be good to go. :D

Good luck to you :))

Although I later changed the email of my ALT for more practical reasons:

Whenever I replied to IMs that went to my email, the wrong avatar sended it to the person and that was bit annoying. But if you never reply by email anyways, don't bother.

Guess we will wait and see what your new and better name will be, although dont find anything wrong with your current name :)

It may depend on what country you are in, but I have had no problems whatsoever with both credit card and age verification for my alt.

I think no matter what name you pick you always second guess it. It's the crummy way we get to choose our names, I think. Best of luck with it.

If you're going to age verify, I'd suggest doing it before you put payment on file. I believe the web page has issues accepting age verification if you have used certain payment types.

Set up a new gmail address simultaneously with establishing the alt.

I used the same payment and age verification, but created a new email under my Comcast mail account. IMO you are better off with an understandable name. Jackie Silverfall is a lot easier to say than SJackB Northman :-)
