i always run my accounts on the same computer, even using the same install... once (before cold war patch iirc) i accidentally (since i have save password) pressed connect for the same account twice. This was during some lag on the servers so somehow i managed to enter character selection on the same account on two eve instances.
testing it out i managed to log two characters on the same account into the same server.
again, this was during some server lag and i attributed this event to those circumstances... so, the day after i tried it out again and what do you know... i managed to log two characters into the same account again..!?!
at which point i filed a bug report...

me and a couple of friends occaisionally use alts on each other's accounts for tasks (running a hauler, shifting stuff around 20jumps from us, that kind of thing)
if the owner of the account logged in, it ALWAYS logged us off

Probably not a good idea to publicly admit to account sharing.

true, but banning me for this is hardly gonna be very justified, and if CCP don't want customers, its a brilliant way of going about it

Oh you only violated the EULA. How could they POSSIBLY justify banning you for that? . It's only right there in the EULA that you agreed to. They can ban people for whatever they feel like whenever they want, really. But you're probably right, to be honest. They do seem to be quite lax on things like this and probably don't give a monkeys if people are hauling for each other or setting a friend's skills while he's away. I'll bet most of eve does it.

Good riddance. This game ought to be one character per player anyway.

There was a bug that allowed you to log in 2-3 characters on the same account and even log in the same character on more then one client. This was a) not intended b) causing server errors. So this was hotfixed at todays downtime. ------ Valar Quality assurance department CCP games How to write a good bugreport |

wow, thats amazing. Do you have any numbers on how much it was exploited? I've been a bit surprised that we didn't get higher concurrent user records over christmas and I'm wondering if this was a big enough thing to affect the numbers? -- We are the Octavian Vanguard www.octavianvanguard.net

Thankyou for all your comments.
I see Eve has spoken and declared it a bug and so I bow down to that.
Some food for thought :
Maybe one day (and this isn't just aimed at EVE) it would be possible to purchase family accounts at a discounted rate instead of full price for each player who lives in the same house. There are a lot of players out there who would wish to share their online experiences within an MMORPG at the same time as the person playing next to them.
Anyway, has been fun but time to try another game. As for those of you who want some of my stuff, I'll put it in the EVE lottery :)

as far as i remember the devs started a short compain back in 2004... The name was "the power of 2" i canŠt remeber what the rules was in this compain, but you were able to make a second account and you didnŠt pay the full price for the second account for, i think 6 months or so...
Maybe the devs make second accounts cheaper someday... At least i would prefer it since i use 2 accounts ATM :) ___________________________________________ A wise man said once: 'Violence is the escape of the mentaly poor guys.'

Discovered that bug last week, when I re-logged in to swap accounts, expecting the first character window to disconnect as I entered.
on finding that it did'nt, I took great amusment in flying to the same location, and targetting myself. was tempted to go to a 0.1 system just to kill me, with me. just to be able to say I'd done it.
completely impractical for any other purpose, however.

Edited by: Soltha SIl on 30/12/2005 01:51:30 A friend and I both share an industrial account, also on the account is a character I use for support in some of the harder lvl4 missions (remote rep ect)
Anyhow shortly after rmr (about 2 days) I was doing a mission, when my friend logged in without telling me on msn
I was in a tight spot do imediatly logged back in, only to find out that we had both logged into the same character on the same account from two different places. We could both controll the ship, but it was VERY VERY laggy for both of us.
It didnt occur to me to try logging on a second character on the same acc, seemed a bit of a sploit to me.

i dont want to get you banned by the way but for your info hes correct your not allowed to share your account information with anyone else.... (so sharing a alt account would be a no no) thats why you are allowed to transfer charcters to new accounts (and ccp allows that as im sure you have seen people seeling charcters) but your not allowed to sell your account.
so just be carefull..... (or edit your post quick and get rid of that info)

Basically this is how it works. You open up EVE twice and log on twice. The first time you do this it WILL sign you out, but the second or third time lets both of them sign into one account.

You're calling Valar a troll?
Nah, it's never been *intended*. Odd bugs have allowed it to happen. There's really no reason why it *shouldn't* be allowed, any more than we should be allowed to have more than one account and use both at the same time; it's just that the latter option earns more money.
