Finally, its about damn time. This feature is useless: 1 account more for one plex gives you 3 chars. When you are ready you can move the char to another acc. But as long as you train a 2nd char, yo can use 2 chars for free 2 chars training on the same account cost you 2 plexes. The choice is obvious
You seem to suffer from a dearth of imagination. I can think of a VAST number of uses for this.
For instance, I have an account that just does industry. On that account I have one pilot that is deeply trained for S&I (invention skills, etc.) and two others that have the bare minimum for things like ME and copying.
This would let me train the other two for invention at the same time. I don't need to be able to play them at the same time, and I don't need to train them indefinitely. This is convenient, and saves me a transfer fee. |

I am a little bit curious to see what (if anything) this will do to character bazaar pricing. |

Yes.

...what?
Are you high?
Say I need an alt with a 1 year training plan. I don't need it logged in at the same time with my main, and want it on the same account, because I don't want to plex a second account indefinitely.
Right now I would have to open a second account, plex it for 12 months, and then pay (2?) additional plex to transfer it to my main account, for a total cost of 14 plex.
With this, I could buy 12 plex, train my alt side-by-side with my main for 12 months for a total cost of 12 plex.
How the **** is it MUCH cheaper to use a different account? |

This works, if we completely ignore the effort of actually doing PI. I'm not magically generating more money by virtue of the fact that I have some PI characters now. Now I have to set up planets, manage them, and haul the **** they produce. If I wanted to do any of that, I would already be doing it on the characters I have. |

This has been explained, repeatedly. |

There is simply NO reason not to have an additional account, especially when it provides significant tangible benefits over this half veiled attempt to drive up revenue. I would love to see this program active, but give us something worth using.
Again, you lack imagination.
There are tons of scenarios where this is VASTLY preferable to an alt account.
For instance, I have one character with perfect invention skills, and two alts on the same account with basic S&I skills (and one flies an Orca).
I can now flesh out the invention skills on the other characters in half the time. I never need to have them logged in concurrently, I don't want to plex a third account indefinitely, and the two alts in question already have ~ 30 million SP between them. Once I have maxed out the invention skills on the two alts, I have no intention of training them further.
This is actually quite perfect for me, and since my alts already have a substantial number of SPs, far preferable to opening yet another account.
So, there you have it. You have stated that there is NO reason not to have an additional account.
You are objectively wrong. |

That's a really huge upside for a lot of different reasons that have been pretty thoroughly laid out in this thread.

You say this as if it is somehow relevant. |

Excepting broker fees and sales taxes from an increased number of plex sales, this is not an isk sink. |
