A second account lets you train 2 AND fly 2 pilots at once. If you just wanted to train 2, it could be offered for less. Do not know if CCP thinks its a money maker, or a loser. Not sure myself.

CCP already said they're looking into allowing you to pay more to simultaneously train on an account. I absolutely support it.

I don't really feel like trying to run two clients at once anymore. I'd rather train 2 and play one or the other. Good for avoiding awkward corp moments as well, when I still want to play, but not want to be on a specific character.

How is having 2 characters on 1 account any different then 2 accounts? Until they add in a "Logout to character screen" theres really no reason. If anything you are just hindering yourself since you can only play 1 at a time.

Don't need 6 character slots.
Don't want to run 2 at the same time.
Don't want to deal with two separate accounts.

I only want to keep 2 skill queue's running and I don't think it's worth the cost or hassle of 2 separate accounts.

I'm sure others would have 2 or maybe 3 150% accounts and the reasons are clear for that as well.

Then don't use the 6 character slots.

Then only run 1 account at a time.

Fair enough.

The issue with having a reduced cost is that it promotes character farming. Where as now you have to pay $30 to train 2 characters where as with your plan you only pay $22 for 2. This will just allow people to sit a alt and train for 6months then transfer to another account and save 50%. This is why CCP hasn't allowed it.

IF they put a system in to allow 2 characters to train on 1 account then they either need to charge the full amount for 2 accounts, or cause the secondary character to train at 50%. Otherwise the system will be abused to hell.

Grey Stormshadow:
You have a point there. I agree.

Still, the two extra chars just hang out at trade hubs or wherever and don't give any benefit to any (normal) player.
Why even offer to create them in the first place?

They could as well give you discount on your alt accounts instead. Oh, in a way they do. You get PLEX advertising yourself, right?

Yes you can open buddy account(s) to yourself when there is a promotion going on. That is perfectly legal and recommended thing to do.

What comes to 2 other characters. Quite a few people use them. You can stop training your "main" for few weeks/months and train your "alt" for some specific function like manufacturing, ganker, scammer, spy, infiltrator, mining alt, pvp alt, logistics alt... You can also buy characters and bazaar and fill your 2 additional slots with pre-trained pilots.

When you have specialized alt character, you only need that much skill points before the character can fill the task almost perfectly.

Keep your mind open - you pay for the slots - use them (I do).

Or I train my "Main" instead, because he already has the prerequisites for many skills and I can only fly one char at a time per account and would lose more time training my "Alts" on the same account?
You can train the two extra chars efficiently in very short term things, but after that they are just dolls sitting around.
Or I miss something, which would not come as a surprise at this hour.

Well in a way buying plex with money and selling it with isk to buy pre-trained character is something what should solve the original request as well. Main difference is that you pay from entire training time you want in advance.

If in some point you want even more skill points, you could always trade that character forward and buy new one with same method.

If you disagree with this, I have to come to conclusion that this thread is more about getting cheaper way to train characters than getting to train 2 or more characters on same account. Of course you don't have to agree with me on this one :) People rarely do.

, then you don't belong in my EVE.

Mr Epeen

i have 2 trained char by account, as i bough some for empire stuff while living on wh.
but now it's a pain as i can only train one, and transgering one outside and back to account cost way too much.
so would like a lot a way to train 2 char on same account, even at full price i would think about it.

Full price should definitely be possible.

Why not. I would still probably do it, or close to full price.

Hellmar?

This way you could use plex to activate 1 month training on alt also and give CCP another plex sink they are looking for.
