In short: make it so you can train skills on more than one character at a time! It would be nice to experiment with different play styles, but lost SP is to be had with the current method. Of course, keep the restriction of one login per account...obviously.
Anyone support this? Although, I haven't thought much of the consequences considering my brain's shot...perhaps it's time for sleep too... ----------------------------------- "What can go wrong, will go wrong." |

1 character training per account = $20 (or whatever the sub fee is) 3 characters training per account = $20 3 accounts training 1 character each = $60
do you see where this is heading? ----------------------

If you just price the additional training slots the same as a new account it's of no benifit. How about something like this: 1 account 1 skill training = $30 1 account 2 skills training = $45 1 account 3 skills training = $60
I'd be willing to invest extra money to skill more toons with this structure. It saves me some money, yet benifits CCP as well.

The current rate is 14.95 USD per month. What if we went with 19.95 USD per month for 2 characters training and 24.95 for three. This way, CCP would still get more money per month, and the characters would train up.
The only problem I see with this is implementation of the GTCs, but we could just have them worth a general amount (60 day = 29.95 game cost), so a 60 day GTC for an account training two characters would only be worth 45 days of game time, or 38 days for three characters. Does this sound like a reasonable idea for both the playerbase and CCP?

I'm in favor of pretty much anything CCP can do to allow me to skill more than one player per account as long as it's not approaching the cost of another account fee to pay the "second character skilling fee" I'm sure they could put an option at activation of the 60 day code which would allow you to get 45 days for 2 accounts skilling or 30 days for 3 accounts skilling. I've not done the math how that works out but you get the idea how it could be done with GTC's Or you could sell 60 day 2 character GTC's and 60 day 3 character GTC's. (they used to have multiple GTC's available before so it shouldn't be hard to do this) Or CCP could benifit directly by making it possible if you subscribe directly through CCP and not include GTC acctivations. I'd rather not cut out this player base, and I see no reason they would have to, but I'm just throwing out options.

Yeah, if people want a second character they normally want to be running it at the same time. Some people will drop everything for a second character for a month though to train them up as a basic miner or trade character. Only takes 3 weeks to be able to fly a Retriever....

There is an easy solution today for training on multiple characters - get multiple accounts. It also works on GTC.
So the isn't the real issue that people want discounts for holding multiple accounts?

Yes and no. It's more for people who want to try out other facets of EVE without paying the full subscription cost for another account. Sure, a trial works, but you can only get so far with it. ----------------------------------- "What can go wrong, will go wrong." |

why not allow the account hold to use his 3 slots in the following way
slot 1: full training speed depending on skills and attributes slot 2: half training speed based on skills and attributes slot 3: 1/4 training speed based on skills and attributes
this would mean the additional charge for running multiple chars on an account could be kept lower due to limited training, players would be able to activate multiple training slots to suit their needs (with most electing for slot 1/2 im guessing)
14.99 for 1 slot 19.99 for 2 slots 21.99 for 3 slots

How about just removing the extra character slots?

I'm in favour of making those 2 extra slots trainable. If it needs to be paid for, so be it, but it should be less than an extra account (or 2), because an extra account has more benefits then just the skill training.
I would love to use my extra slots, but never did because I don't want to slow my first character down (let's face it, training skills takes long enough), so if nothing changes, I will probably just play one character until I can't think of skills to train or I get tired of him.
And I won't take a second account until I've filled all 3 slots, and want a 4th, CCP.

Edited by: Muggle Lover on 01/05/2009 18:18:52 I would love to be able to skill up my alt characters, I have three accounts but have alts on them that I quite like to "muck around with" trying out new features and stuff. The ability to train these characters up would be awesome. I also don't think the argument against, that it would get rid of peoples additional accounts really stacks up. This is an RPG and the ability to try lots of things out with different chartacters is very appealing.

Edited by: Weazy Z on 01/05/2009 20:09:05 I run 3 accounts personally, and I don't think this is all that big of an issue. True, I would really enjoy being able to train 3 toons (hell, i'd settle with 2) on the same account, but from ccp's perspective it doesn't make sense to implement it. I use the extra slots on my accounts for research and cyno alts-- pilots with very low sp who do only one task. I probably lost a few days training them, but they are incredibly useful. Also, I know people who buy characters using in game currency and park them on accounts that they dont plan on training due to the specialized role they fill (ie trade alts, hauler/freighter alts, exploration alts, and pos gunners in specific) so these extra toons are being used.
I think, also, that the skill training queue was a buff to these characters, since you can queue up all the skills you need them to do (ie skills to pop cynos, for example) with more efficiency than previously. You no longer have to babysit the toon while you spec for its purpose.
So... yes, I agree it would be nice but I also agree that CCP needs to make rl isk :P
Edit-- Vote for me :P
