Learned you can't access the same account with two separate computers. The logic: Three accounts residing on three computers equals three characters available for what ever but wait! What if I can use the rather high end laptop just sitting gathering dust or running naughty videos whilst the game plays on to fly another ship?
Hell, yeah, lets give it a shot. Downloaded the client, set it all up to run the 2nd alt on account one, good to go. On account one's main computer, accessed the main guy and promptly got a "Socket Closed" message on the laptop. Turned it around, this time got a "Socket Closed" on the main.
So apparently CCP frowns on that sort of thing, unless I'm missing something simple. I uninstalled the client and went off to find the USB stick with the (very classy) naughty videos. Actually they are only considered naughty in certain tight-assed circles, I look upon them as art.

Three paying accounts equals three playable accounts. Just as you can't skill train without footing the extra cash for the second toon, you can't utilize 1 account to fly two pilots. |

Accounts != characters
While each account may be able to hold 3 characters, you pay for 1 account. One window into the game world, one training que (unless you pay to multi-train)
Two accounts gives you 6 characters, but two training ques/two windows into the game world.
This is the way its always been, and is fully intended. |

I think "frowns on" covers it.

Get a projector for art videos. I sometimes have art movies showing on the big wall behind my monitor while EVE is slow or I'm playing turn bases games and such.
There is so much waiting time in EVE. Long warp, timers, gate camp, etc.
It's nice to have artful images to glance at during such times.
Except when my football team is playing. Then I need to watch that live. Some things in life are more important than art.

I dont know any game which would let you access multiple chars on same account at once. You can access multiple accounts at once from same machine though. |

Yes the Socket Closed message or the Client Has Been Usurped On The Proxy message too, forget the exact wording of it. Ive done it inadvertently at home not thinking and mixing up accounts.
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.

Surprisingly amiable responses; at least I wasn't called a blithering idiot. A lot of times it's just one of those hey, what the hell, gotta try it. Kind of like Eve game play. Thanks all for the comebacks, fly safe, shoot straight and die funny. And "die funny" sounds so lame, maybe one of you real writers can do better.

Most of the time, you don't even have to ask. They'll just do it.
Eve is like an addiction; you can't quit it until it quits you.

If I'd known I wouldn't have tried, and although I suspected I still did not really know, hence the doomed effort. I do that a lot.
