I have to ask CCP,
Will you be making our accounts universal say account name ********** will be the same account to use to log into WoD and will also be a Dust account if we purchase the games?
Would you introduce log in keys to help account security? or maybe those cool USB drives? |

Even though Faith's caps lock key seems to be broken she does have a point.
What we would need is more info on how dust accounts will work before a universal account could be made.
However I am a person who will be playing both WoD and EvE online. So a singular account could be much much easier between the two.
Benifits -
1 time billing
1 account to remember
1 account to remember all info from which s useful to the gms.
downside
1 account to be hacked = pain.
Possible other benefits / slightly off topic-
People outside of iceland get stuck with this bloody international charge / transaction fee. If it were a universal CCP games account could billing be split up between regional offices? say
US gets billed to atlanta
EU - UK
Asia / Oceania - shanghai?
ANYWAY - feed back. For at least WoD / EvE online a universal CCP games account would be very useful. Tacking on dust will depend on how accounts and characters would work from that perspective. However since these games are not out, this is a great time to consider this and maybe put in frame work on the idea. |

No the idea is all of these games belong to CCP right?
Why not like in battle.net and others drop the idea of an eve account for a CCP games account. 1 account to bind them all 1 account to rule them all.
Example there are going to be people like me who will be playing all 3 games.
So why should I have 3 seperate billings or 3 seperate managements for all 3 games.
I would like to be able to log in to my account at ccp games and have a menu, what would you like to manage? Dust 514, WoD or eve online? And from there be able to access EvE gate, Dust gate, or Wod mail w/o having to log in 3 seperate times.
For those of you who play SC2, wow and will be playing diablo 3, you can see the advantage to having a single account log in vs trying to remember 3 different accounts.
That is the question i am proposing.
Since ccp is expanding and will have other games, AND people will be playing two to all 3, would it be reasonable to ditch the specific eve online account to a CCP games account? From this CCP games account you can manage all 3 games or just 1 of them.

I think i should try to add some pretty pictures using keyboard keys.
currently it would look like
EvE online account
WoD account
Dust 514 account.
My proposal and feed back is on what if it was changed to this.
Transition phase All current EvE online accounts  change to CCP Games account.
.................... / Eve Online
CCP games
account ........ Dust 514
.................... \ WoD
From my poor pictures if it were one universal account it will be 100 times easier to manage players. |

Well ok universal account management if anything, i personally would like 1 time billing instead of seperate ones.
Plus universal account does not mean you have access to those forums.
Using battle.net as an example. Say you have a CCP account and bought WoD. Since you only have that game, in the account management / details of that game, you would only be able to forum post / ***** in that games forums only. If you tried to access eve, it would say you need a full paid account to access forums and functionality.
I guess i should rephrase it to this.
Would the people of EvE be open to a universal CCP games account for the purposes of payment, subscriptions, petition management if you play 2 or more CCP games?
Yes I know WOD is not part of eve online, it is part of CCP GAMES, honestly have any of you played on battle.net or even played other games. Just because it's one master account does not mean you can access other games.
Cryptic has 2 games, and universal accounts, however unless you pay for both of them you only have access to the functionality / forums / etc of one of the games. I myself will use my battle.net example. i play sc2 and i have a diablo II account. as a result i can mange those two games no problem from battle.net however since i have no WoW account, i cannot manage anything from that, nor can i post on their forums or anything else. |

Currently many people use different accounts and log into different accounts, having them all share one online identity can be an advantage but you'd sure need to secure it well cause access to 2+ games + a whole bunch of accounts is a juicy target for account stealers.
WoD account sharing is a moot issue atm, but I guess that eve gate can turn into CCP gate or something and do the same thing.
CCP login = Access to different accounts - WoD Gate
- EVE Gate
- EVE ONLINE
- DUST 514
Now that i written it down it looks confusing.
That's the idea it would be a CCP log in. And depending on what games you had is what gates you would have access too.
Now you bring up a good point i didn't think of, people with multiple accounts, for one game, this could be an advantage for them so they could manage all their accounts. HOWEVER CCP would need to put in a ton of more security measures so 1 person couldnt ninja 3 accounts or something. Say like site keys or bind log into the address. |
