I couldn't answer your other questions , contact support .
Although, you aren’t allowed to have multiple forums account. That’s been the rule in the past anyways.
You can request an account ban through support as well if you want to start over.
The biggest restriction on multiple accounts is if you are using an alternate account to get around a ban (temporary or permanent). That's not supposed to be allowed, though there are ways around that too, so you will find some perma-banned players in the game under their alts. If it was a temporary ban and they continue to be disruptive in game via an alt, they sometimes will be elevated to a permaban depending on the infraction.
You can use the same email for multiple accounts; however, when they provide something special (like the postal hats) to players, they will only provide one per email.
Have as many alternates as you can make. Abuse the system, as some have done (was mentioned above) , and make thousands. Just stay out of trouble and you can access them all without anything to worry about.
For friends it's all good. Just friend your alternate like any other player, and log into that alternate account to accept. easy.
Their policy is relaxed on alternates.. as long as you don't break the rules that apply to any account, alternate or main, you're good.
I wonder why some things have policies to relaxed while some other stuff policies are put to the wall and literally killed. Probably because there are no young kids ready to yell at devs for alternates-related stuff, unlike when speaking about rare items' prices.. Thanks, all.
Many sandbox MMO games have a relaxed policy for alts because you may have two people in the same household using the same device or IP to play the game and it is sort of pain to try to track / verify that alts actually belong to different people. Just about every sandbox MMO I've played over the past decade has no issue with alts if you aren't using them to abuse the system. I like to try different playing styles with my alts.
