Perhaps EVE should do a rollback to day 1 every 10 years. If nothing else the tears would be epic |

I dropped from two accounts to one account to no accounts and now back to one account. The account I dropped (and didn't reactivate when I came back) was a mining/production alt account for funsies but I have now decided with plex prices so high that If I want isk so badly I'll just sell a plex. |

Seems like we only ever have threads of players mentioning that they are reducing their character count. Where are the threads mentioning how many new ones they are creating and adding to their accounts? |

3 accounts, 4 characters.
I purchased 1 character to use during the AT, so I'll sell that after the tournament and then drop back to 2 accounts. Not because of PLEX prices, I pay subscription. Just because I don't need 2 pvp pilots. Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari

Evidently you don't do PI on over 50 Planets.... Anything but passive....pretty much a clickfest. According to you, anything outside ratting must be passive isk. Incorrect.

Try doing PI on a massive scale then come back and tell me how "afk" it is. Your argument is invalid and not even close to being on topic. |

For some reason you think that few people who are forum regulars and just happen to agree with you are viable sample of whole silent majority who at this very moment probably subbed god knows how many alts. In same way you could say that everybody is ganking freighters (almost everybody in relevant threads is doing it) or everybody is flying rattlesnake (which happens to be quite popular suggestion in L4s related threads).

Why on earth would I reduce the number of accounts? And since when does EVE have intrusion countermeasures? Or are you talking about the hacking minigame? GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Seems to me there are three types of accounts (with some minor exceptions):
. 'Mains' --> the one(s) you play and have fun with, the reason you play EVE . 'Support' --> the one(s) that directly support your mains' gameplay, such as cyno alts, links or haulers . 'Wage workers' --> the one(s) you use exclusively to make ISK
Wage worker accounts need to make a total of more than 1 PLEX/month (or 1/3 PLEX/month per character) to be worthwhile. When PLEX prices rise, several wage workers get fired. No big deal, nobody was actually having fun with them in the first place.
OP you're describing your accounts as wage workers, so no big deal in your case.
OTOH, mains and support accounts should ideally be worth paying 15$/month for because the enjoyment you get out of them is well worth it. Compared to, say, eating lunch at an affordable restaurant.
If that isn't the case, CCP has a problem in the first place (either unsatisfied customers or customers with too low disposable income); people unsubbing mains due to rising PLEX prices just brings the problem to the surface. EVE Online: Death-o-meter |

During the first two weeks of starting to play I went from one to three accounts.
A few years later I needed a bunch of research alts to make good isk researching and selling rig BPO sets. That resulted in me having 10 accounts going for 2 months. Then it went down to four accounts as I kept one of the research alts going with the training until he reached 60m SP and was sold. The other six alts got biomassed a few years later as i ran out of character slots and didn't need them any further.
A year or so later I was back up again to four accounts as I wanted a FW alt and used power of 2 plus 2 months subbing. FW got nerfed and that character was sold as well. Down to three accounts.
Last year my highest SP character reached 160m SP and she was sold as I realised capitals are pretty boring to play with and the ISK will keep the remaining two accounts subbed until 2017 or so depending on PLEX prices.
If eve at that stage still is at the current state I will sell off the last alt and leave this one subbed for another decade.

I never said anything about Eve is dead.... put words into somebody else's mouth please. PLEX is expensive... I AM being more Frugal with how many accounts I PLEX instead of using my CC and right now that number appears to be 1.
In fact just stop responding (trolling)..... |

Pretty much spot on.... I guess I'm just curious as to how many people are doing this due to whatever the reason.... for me I only CC 2 accounts... anything beyond that is PLEX'd. At one point that was 3 additional accounts. |

Recently went from 3 to 4 accounts, 3 of the 4 I PLEX. Soon to add a 5th account via PLEX and the Power of Two promo.
Sure the price of PLEX is sorta "wtf" right now, but it's more sticker shock than a real problem. You need to make less than 30M isk per day per account to keep them PLEXED.
I find your lack of Win disturbing.

Which equals 1-2 ticks in null anoms, an hour of hulk+orca drilling hisec rocks, one or a few L4s depending on which one you get. Not mentioning drops from ganking miners, haulers and mission runners, exploration, gate camping hi/low gates, probing and selling drones people leave in missions, whole FW ISK printing machine. Basically there's so many ways of earning for PLEX and more that dropping an account because "PLEX is expensive" is idiotic excuse.
Oops, I'm not supposed to troll anymore...

My answer to this question isn't really indicative of how I look at EvE. I only have one active account, but I own... twenty? I think.
That seems like a big deal till I tell you eighteen of them are character mule accounts.

Passive isk to me is when you gain isk/assets while not actually playing the game.A miner usually is mentioned for this as they can be semi or fully afk .But it also involves other means of income , like PI .The old way of letting your drones handle a mission whilest watching a movie for example could also be seen as passive income.We're not talking FREE isk we are talking passive isk so yes you stiill need to invest some time to do so and if you choose the one wich needed a 50 planet clickfest then i'd say you choose the wrong passive income.
I gathered my income over the last years mostly from investments/trade/research , all of wich are completely passive to semi passive if you do it in the way i did.I don't have anything against people gaining passive income , i do have something against people complaining about their passive income not being sufficient enough.
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
