...train 2 Characters on one account?
I am willing to pay for the training of the second character the normal monthly fee (either money or plex).
But I can't do that! Why?
Why do I have to create a second account and then transfer the character to this account and maybe transfer it back later? Why do I have to memorize two passwords and have all the hassle with char-transfer?
I just want to train up the char or PI, that needs maybe 1 month. So why can't I just add a PLEX to the account and start training the second char also? |

because its simpler to just make people create secondary accounts rather then have some accounts that can only train 1 at a time and others that can train 2. and nothing keeps you from using the same pass

If you have an active subscription on an account you should have been able to train the second char full stop.
If not the extra char slots should have been removed period imo.

This.
The second and third character slots are pretty much pointless, really.

Not entirely, I use them to enter lotteries and to hold CEO in the other two corps in the alliance.

Fair comment, though don't you agree theres always moments where you want to train that second char without having to halt ur main training ? its a pain in the derriere.

If you want to train 2 characters and are willing to pay for it then, ffs, just buy the second account.

Why? While you can't train them at the same time as your "main" on that particular account, the extra characters still come in handy. Scout, low sp hauler, price checker and bait first come to mind. If you are willing to pause the training on your main for like 1 or 2 months, you can make quite a decent alt, now that learning skills are gone.

Yup. Should be able to train all the characters on the same account.

Listen up troll, I have more than one account but i still would of liked to have been able to train the other chars on those ACTIVE accounts without having to pay for dozens more seperate accounts!. I do switch over the training sometimes but I hate the pain in arse job of stopping the training one to start in on the other and vise versa specially when one account needsa long skill training. You get me son ?

Originally by: Jamaican Herbsman If you want to train 2 characters and are willing to pay for it then, ffs, just buy the second account.
Yes, but I want to train only for 1-2 months. I stated that already.
So, according to you I should buy a new account, train for 1-2 month, then transfer the character to my currently active acount and let the new account go?
Sounds really like nonsense to me. It would be MUCH easier to just grab a PLEX, drag it to the second char on my active account and start training for 1 month, then the training stops as the PLEX runs out. But the account continues to be active as it is my main account.
No need to hassle around with second accounts, char transfer etc. Just plain and easy training 1 or 2 months.
You seem to think that I want a new account, but I don't want that. |

It's the same way as any other MMO, you can't gain "experience" (in EvE's case skills) on two characters at once on the same account. If you want to progress one you stop the other. It's a good thing because otherwise every single person in EvE would have their own industrial character, their own pvp character their own mission caracter and then there would be no interconectivity and dependence on others in the game.
You can still do that if you have more money then sense but at least there's still normal people with 1 acount that buy from others and trade with others for the things they need, etc..

What makes me a troll? That you can't handle constructive criticism? This shouldn't be in GD anyway.
Anyways, do you realise that if CCP enables training multiple chars on the same account, they lose revenue?
There's a slight difference between you and the op. Op wants to train second char on the same account and he's willing to pay for it --> solution: get another account. If he's willing to pay for it, then why not?
You on the other hand want to train more chars on the same account and are not willing to pay (more) for it. And your arguments are because you want so and it's a pain to stop training another char and start training on another. Wow. Plan ahead so you don't have to do it so much? Long skill on some char makes it harder how? I'm not your son.

How is another account for just one month a solution? I need to transfer forth and back TWO times then the char in question. You seem to ignore the fact that I only want to train for 1-2 months a year maybe. That's why I said that a second account is so cumbersome and complicated that I just don't do it. And that means a loss for CCP AND a loss for me.
Still haven't heard any argument why I shouldn't be able to do what I suggested. |

It does mean a loss for CCP since you want multiple characters training on a single account with no payment, at least the OP is willing to pay for the privelege. As Tippia mentioned and has been mentioned countless times in numerous threads on this subject, no other MMO's offer multi character training as you suggest. What you want isn't always best for the game, did you consider that or is your request motivated merely by you wanting it?
The advantages to paying for a second account include sending yourself a buddy invite and when you sub the 2nd account you get 30 days on your primary account and being able to play on both accounts at the same time. You can't play both characters anyway if they're on the same account so it limits the usefulness of the second character while a second account can be used alongside your main and if you don't want to pay for it for a while just let the sub lapse until you do need it.
Getting extra training for free would take money out of CCP's coffers. ------------------------------------------------ Quafe is people! |

jeeze you kids these days, next you'll be asking why you cannot get alts with any selection of level 5 skills you want
back in the day, before advanced learning skills , I trained both my alts for other stuff.
when you need more lab / build / research slots then the alts come in. 2nd accounts can also have their alts trained up
all i can say really on this is HTFU --

You could stop skilling the main for 30 days. I know it is painful but it is a free option.
I must admit it did hurt when I clicked pause skill on one of my mains a few days ago to spend 12d on an fresh alt. That is the first time in 5 years that the poor character isn't skilling.
But as for your point of letting us skill multiple chars at once, it is pure economics. We would need a lot less full accounts if we randomly could add a PLEX and do random skills when needed for alts.

I have to side with Gnulpie on this one, i recently returned to the game and thankfully i managed to dig out the login/pass for my main, my poor alts however are stuck on accounts that i cant remember enough details about to reclaim

Same reason you can't play 2 characaters in WOW at the same time, even if you're willing to pay for the account twice. You have to get a second account or you swap between characters. In Eve training is 'playing the char', so you will need to spend time 'playing the PI char'.

You're right - and that reason is lack of foresight. It's a reasonable feature to request, and they simply didn't anticipate their players requesting the feature. Given the fact that it is not game breaking and can already basically be done with multiple accounts, Blizzard, CCP, and any other developer would do well to open up the revenue stream for themselves. (Of course, I'd prefer my idea of being able to purchase "back months" of training time on an account that is newer than when the game launched. Solves both his idea and mine at once, and would be a great revenue stream from new players wishing to be competitive sooner.)

This is about as close as one can get to what you want: 'Refer a friend' yourself, get 21 day trial, pay for one month, then transfer character to main account. Essentially works out to paying 25 USD for 51 days of training, but only works once per character.
I actually might have to do this once or twice. Now I have the urge to install EveMon at work to check some skill training times...
Also, I agree that it would be really nice to be able to use a plex or pay extra in order to temporarily train an extra character on the same account. I'd certainly use such a feature now and then.

Don't believe this is needed...2 acounts is far far better than 1 acount with 2 training.
For the same isk you asking for training on a character you can not fly at the same time if you wanted.
Not supported at all.
Alts are also very important in EvE.
