So its downtime and I was thinking. If you have a secondary plex activated can you stop the training on your second alt to level up some on your third alt.

So take my account..I have 3 characters on it.

Drythar Starthra
Sizan Apprentice
Devaas Ganluul

Drythar stays training 100 percent of the time, I refuse to stop him to train anything else on anyone else if I can help it. So..

Drythar Starthra - 28 days (conservatively) straight of training

Now the question is..can you, with a secondary Plex split the time between two alts.

Drythar Starthra - 28 days
Sizan Apprentive - 14 days
Devaas Ganluul - 14 days

Or when you activate the second plex does it bind to a character and you have to stop training on your main to train the secondary alt.

Sorry if this has been answered, was just thinking about it.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Nevermind, a little research answered my question.

* For instance, you could have 3 characters named A, B and C on the same account; activating Dual Character Training allows any combination of A+B, A+C, B+C to be trained at the same time. This provides extra flexibility for the user wishing to train up several alternate characters.

No. It's dual training only.

for double the price of a subscription just for that??

that's a big ROFL!!

another idea to grab every hard earned penny from our pockets. hmm activate the 3rd slot next and charge a extra $50 a month

cheaper for someone to just make 2nd acct and port char over if needed.

making money that hard nowadays? there's always the free to play model. ;)

So do so.

It's a cheaper option when you already have an alt on an existing account and need to give it an extra month or two of training. This way you just have to pay 2 plex, previously you'd have to pay second account's sub and 2 transfer fees (transfer to new account, train, transfer back).

It's an option, no one's forcing you to use it. When a second account makes more sense, use a second account. When dual training makes more sense, use dual training. Options.
