I got 3, but I'm going to ditch one of them because I never use him at all (okay, maybe to watch the market or check a gate for camps or something). He's getting sold but I'm going to train him up a little more to make him better value. The other two accounts are specialised - one combat and the other industry.
Yes, the 17,000 is a marketing joke. Especially with the BP lottery, it pays to have multiple accounts with each one whoring research agents. That is probably one of the main reasons for subscription number increases. I don't doubt there are more players, but I bet there are more additional accounts than new ones by a mile.
Clever huh?

1 account with 1 char. Not sure if I will ever use the other 2 slots. Don't have the time and I don't want to run an alt for spying. To much like cheating to me.

One account with 2 Characters.(Purely holding the 2nd one so nobody makes a character with my full name, seeing that my main only has his firstname  )

I have four now. I only had one after release, but after I found out of value of having a scout, I got a second. Also helped me mine for my first ships (1 miner, 1 hauler).
The third was an effort to go in a totally different direction in the game, but ultimately it got used as an alt as well, and I very recently got a 4th for no really good reason.
Having 2 accounts is invaluable. I've never lost a key cargo when hauling or got uber ganked at a gate since I got the secnond. More than 2 is diminishing returns, I'm currently using my third account mostly to train an really good alt, and will probably cut out the 4th account this month, and move the third account main to one of my two accounts.
The money also gets a little tight with 4, although I subscribe at 6-mo intervals now and that reduces costs some.
By the way, I'm a little offended at the tone of the original post. Having just one account doesn't make you special, it's just a gameplay choice you've made that you prefer, either for personal, ideological or economic reasons. For me one account would mean I would enjoy the game less, especially running into huge bubble gankfests with a tech-II equipped BS . I save time by losing ships only in fleet combat or fights I consider even or worth fighting.

Occationally create an alt to fix login problems.

I think you are missing the point. The point is that they hold the bragging rights for allowing more accounts logged in at the same time and in the same world than anyone else has before. It's the same story no matter what MMO you go to, many of the players have multiple accounts. But some MMO's only have the capability to hold up to 3 or 4 thousand players at the same time, in the same world.
I don't know. Maybe I am missing the point? But that is what I see.
I have 2 accounts myslef. And when I played Ultima Online several years ago, I had 3 accounts after playing for 3 years.
Either way, I very rarely log more than 1 in at the same time.

^^^ Is this the real situation? How many accounts do you all have? if there is an average of say, 2.4 accounts per person, then really wen the 'players' count at logon says '17000' it really means about 5000.

One account, I can't afford two accounts, and if I could I probably wouldn't.
I prefer the social atmosphere of having to team up with others to handle situations that require mutliple players. I've got one main character that gets trained, and one alt character that hasn't been trained, or used since the day he was created.

one account, but I am tempted to make an empire carebear account. When your about 40 jumps from the nearest empire system, going back there to do purchases and other assorted things is a pain in the arse, even more so with the proposed changes to insta's.
So im considering starting up a series of trial accounts (I'm not going to be paying for it, i dont have the money, and haulers arent that hard to train.) in order to haul stuff between empire and 0.0 while I mine/rat/pvp on the main account.

I have 1 account and 1 char. Don't want to pay extra for another and can't train 2 chars simultaneously. Many of friends and corpmates have 2 accounts and an uberhauler/trader/producer alt

2 here. Played with 1 for about year, liked the game and wanted to add a little flavor, created another. I use both accounts via separate clients quite frequently now.
