Shared accounts
Overview
Shared accounts is when you enable another player to access your account or another player enables you to access their account. With a normal account and Pegasus account, you are able to share your account with up to 2 people.
Why would you enable shared account?
Wondered why you enable shared account? Here are some reasons why people enable shared accounts:
- AP farming (When another player flicks through their horses to get aging points. Players are usually paid a lot of equus by the employer for this)
- If one player goes on holiday and wants their EC and horses to be looked after, and to gain seniority.
- Keeping up your ranking if you go away.
- If you don't have much time to go on Howrse but you don't want your account to be deleted, then another player can log on so the account does not get deleted.
- Player doing some objectives while you are away.
- Other player doing the current promo for you if you do not have the time or are away.
- If you have lots of horses to care for, but don't have the time to do it.
