The exciting part about the new system is the multiple account and redemption code functionality. A single account can hold multiple subscriptions, allowing players to stack subscriptions or services to their account, such as multiple plots, concurrent logins, consignment slots or character slots. And, if you want to pay for a friend's account, you can purchase a redemption code for any number of months and give that code to a friend to pay for their account. Their account is then paid without the issues of who "owns" the account.

Gaining the trust and help of the players is a hurdle that Rick admits they're going to have to overcome.
