Yeah about that is that really more than just a 'urban legend', has anyone ever really had their account banned because of this ? Or is is just a thing they say to keep you from doing it...
this is usually overlooked. HOWEVER, if someone uses multiple accounts just for the sake of multiple accounts or abusing the system in a way that bring unfairness or annoyance to other players (in SM terms, it's letting two accounts battle each other to gain easy wins, harassing other players, etc...), a ban will be delivered without hesitation.
In fact, there are ppl who are banned cuz they created tons of account just to troll. And there are countless bans in BattleDawn regarding multiple accounts.
However, there are some exceptions. Admins sometimes use their second accounts to drop in the game and play secretly. And lots of people during the Closed Beta phrase and early Open Beta needed to create several accounts to "farm" on them since the number of player was low back then. And if you forget your password AND your email, you can register another account as well.
In short, while the TOS mentioned that you should only have 1 account, it's ok to have several, if you don't do anything wrong with it.
