This change owns.
It would be even better if you could somehow let us log into multiple characters on the same account at once, although it might be a little bit of a stretch. |

CCP RubberBAND wrote:Hey all,
RubberBAND here from the team implementing this feature. First apologies that you have not seen a Dev Blog about this. We had planned for one to go just prior to Fanfest, but that plan fell through. We hope to have a Dev Blog out sometime soon, but we don't have an ETA for you all yet.
To answer some of the questions in this thread, we are very interested in feedback regarding this feature and how useful you may find it. As most have figured out, this is a short term option for people who want to train an alt on their account without having to maintain two (or more) accounts.
If you are training two characters and the dual character in training runs out, the character with fewest skill points is assumed to be the alt and will be paused, while your character with more skill points will continue training.
Anyway expect more information soon, till then keep this thread rolling.
While this is a nice feature and I wish you all the best with it.
It would be a much better thing if this was built into some kind of loyalty reward for long standing accounts. Say that every account that has been paying for 5 years can train 2 characters at once and that every account that has been paying for 10 years can train 3 characters at once. Then you could even start adding account slots at 15 or 20 or something. |

Nice one CCP - I'd love to have LCO here have at least some skills, but transferring the character back and forth between yet another account or pausing the higher SP pilot I have on the account just wasn't worth it - considering the skills I want take me approximately 2 months to train, you just sold two Plex.
You know... morons. |

Nice move CCP. PvP main, two alts to tycoon 5 and maybe an Orca. One in five people are Chinese. There are five people in my family, so one must be Chinese. It's either my mum, my dad, my older brother Colin or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu. But I think it's Colin |

I've been running multiple accounts for years and I too don't really see much utility here. The net benefit of this change seems to be zero. Obviously it doesn't take anything away, but it doesn't really add anything either.
If it was cheaper, for example, then sure, lots of utility to be had. But it's not (and in a way it's more expensive if you compare to regular cash subs, since PLEXes are more expensive). For the same price, you don't even get the benefit of being able to use both characters at the same time.
You have to remember less logins, I guess? I don't know. I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

LOL, no.
I'm not going to be acquiring a third account anytime soon, if ever. But a PLEX or two to round out the low skill alts on this one? Absolutely. That's money that CCP would be throwing away by tying it to some kind of loyalty system. And rest assured, this is all about making more money. |

Edit: I guess you could have one account with a bunch of derpy cyno alts or something (though you essentially only save some training time with this feature).. That's kind of nice. But it's a very limited feature in terms of who it would benefit. Something's better than nothing I suppose.
Looks like we got ourselves a reader here.

Once you're running more than a handful of accounts, shuffling ISK around and getting one character from each account to a trade hub to buy a PLEX every month gets really painful. This will help reduce the burden of keeping so many characters training. |

All I'm saying is that it's somewhat of a Catch-22 feature in the sense that it benefits you most if the extra characters are not being trained, since if they are being trained, separate accounts result in more utility, since you can use the characters at the same time.
This kind of screams "supercap cyno alt cash grab" to me, which is why I'm not excited about it. But I'm not against it either. But then again, this is going to make PLEXes go up in price, so maybe I should be. I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

I'm going to blow your mind.
Buy plex in jita on an alt. Contract plex to alts that need them. Redeem via assets menu.

whats good about this??
its gonna cost the same as running another acc, that you can actually play on, have 2 cynos alts or 2 noob spys or whatever.
now we get the option to pay for 2 and only able to play whit one.
also. CCP, i thought you learned by having 2 options right next to each other. add game time and this right under each other is bound to fill up your pettion system!
^this pretty much sums up how I feel about this. It seems like a redundant feature to add unless they make it cheaper than having a second account.
I would be more interested if it was a one-time payment to permanently upgrade your account to be able to train more chars. It could cost more than one PLEX of course, but yeah. |

This thread is being a bit weird.
Normally there are some people explain why it's good and some argue why it's bad.
Currently, half is arguing why it's convenient and good and the other half is explaining why THEY will never use it. Not why it's bad, they just spend time explaining why they don't care. This is a quick, convenient and apparently almost finished being implemented. if some people find it convinient (like me) because they can save money/ISK on character transfers (because that's the alternative) then let them. This doesn't introduce something game breaking. It just makes it more sensible and convenient. If this was available a few months ago, BOY would I've been a happy camper |

I honestly thought you were going to say this is a bug.
If it's limited to 30 days, I'm all for it. Training cyno alts is kind of a pain. Not a big deal, only like a week of training but still. I can think of a ton of other things to train instead of a character I'll use maybe a few times a week for nothing else.
I could see issues with trading alts and such though being abused. I'm sure there is some other ways as well. But overall, not a bad change imo. Maximze your Industry Potential! - Get EVE Isk per Hour! |

I can't speak for everyone else, but I was just disappointed that it wasn't a permanent upgrade. EVE is the only MMO I know where it costs extra to have an alt in the first place. |

Like literally every other non-F2P MMO ever? Because the standard model in most MMOs is the same as eve. Log in to one of your many characters on this one account. Play character. Want two characters playing at once? Pay for two accounts. |

I could definitely see using this for, say, a market alt.
It's useful for any character that will only have to train for a short period of time and that doesn't have to be online at the same time as another character on the same account.
For example on my main account I could use this to train a cyno alt and to make use of the rest of the dual training period train skills for PI and hauling on this alt, for example. I won't ever need this cyno alt for James because he doesn't fly capitals, but my capital alt on a separate account could easily make use of it. |

EX an account may triplebox, but only one character may be undocked at a time. |

It HAS to be for more than 30 days to make it worth it, at least 40, being 45 days optimal.
Or they should let you train a 1/2 the standard rate for a cheaper price, and let you apply this to EVERY character slot to become really interesting.
I mean, this is EVE ffs, make it more flexible, complex and interesting.
How about:
1 PLEX x 45 days of 1/2 Skill Q && 60 days of 1/3 Skill Q
1 PLEX x 15 days of 1:1 Skill Q && 30 days of 1/2 Skill Q
And so on. |
