Now, for the second part:
- Start FL, go to multiplayer and let it generate the new Account ID. (now you really have the 5 new chars)
- Start FL Account manager, it will ask to add the new account to database. Let id do so (click YES).Then it will ask you to give a name for it. Give it a name.
- Just to be safe, export the database (not to My Documents, I won't explain this further, no need) to (ex.) C:\ (or wherever you want, just make sure you know where it is, since you'll be needing these if you reformat/reinstall or rewhatever)
- Job done, Play FL
- when you want to switch the account you're playing on,
- go to FL main menu (or to select server menu)
- Alt+Tab to desktop
- Start FL Account Manager
- double-click the desired account
- go back to FL
- you know how to play multiplayer!
-- If it annoys you, you can delete the newly created WINDOWS USER ACCOUNT as you don't actualy need it anymore
Eppy is just steamed because people are posting in places he would have never thought of. He lost all those possible posts! :P ANYWAYS, don't you need to log into freelancer before it creates a new account?

Go put it in the thread for the account manager if you're so fired up about it.
And I'm not so sure that making it so simple/easy/and tutorial-friendly for people to have scads, oodles, and bookoos of new characters is such a good idea, considering how !@#$%^&* so many of the current ones are.
I think I'd much rather have this whole thread shoved into that black hole that Eppy is so proud of owning.
Speaking of which,
I agree with Single: Eppy's just jealous.
