I keep wondering how EVE would have turned out if everyone was only allowed one single character, like having it linked to passport number or something.
- Would the mighty Phaser Inc, Titans4U, Guiding Hand Social Club, etc. scams have happened ?
Would Band of Brother still be active ?
Would there be so many corp thieve/gankers ?
Would there be so many GÇ£PiratesGÇ¥ and Suicide gankers if being a pirate would mean no access to Hi-sec trade hubs ? There might be low-sec trade hubs but I can hardly imagine the chaos.
I wonder if we EvE players would still have such unethical behavior if we would be facing the consequences of their actions by making it impossible to change our identity (scam people, buy 200m SP character, profit).
Perhaps this has already been discussed but after a quick search I didnGÇÖt find anything.

Without alts ... less player, but probably also by far less spies.
But i also think the game would be more interesting to actually in it's activities.
Things that would make EVE better:
NRDS - Remove Local - Balance Cloak - Sov-Mechanic Changes - Less QQ |

Due to CCP's ToS, there are no alts in Eve Online.
You cannot say you are an alt of someone else or say that "so-and-so" alt is mine.
So, Eve is just doing great since there are not any alts in this game.

there just wouldnt be as many people in as many places scamming and trading with people alts they may even know really well :)
It adds a weird sense of family that friends have.
Like you dont know your mates brother, because when you find out it is your friends bother, you cut him the same slack you might your friend.
ultimately i think it adds more to the game than it adds to the individual with 3 alts they actually use on one account, than it does for them personally.

Lots of games ban you for multi-accounting (eff you, Travian).
Some simply look the other way.
Only EVE *encourages* it.

Mittani is the darkness from Chribba's soul that he cast off when he became enlightened.
He is a shadow of Chribba. The yin to his yang. The spot of light in a void... separate, yet equal. Deplorable, but needed.

That was the point, though it too late to nerf alts.
The thread was mostly intended to speculate on any possible change in the universe and player behavior. |

Well, I have 2 accounts, but rarely ever use my 2nd account and if I decided to not pay for it anymore I wouldn't really notice.
I'm not a jesusfreak about RP or anything, but I definitely like seeing how far I can push my own decisions (I considered buying a cap pilot once but dismissed it as I did not train the account up myself).
Not that I'm saying you should or should not have multiple accounts, but it isn't my preference.
Funnily enough, I'll use my multi monitor setup to play multiple games at once, but not multiple players in the same game.

This. Truth be told, I hate the term "alt" since that doesn't really compute in this game.
Just like there is no "main". You have a specific pilot. Market pilot, freighter pilot. Cyno pilot etc.
But I still stand by my above comment about not having multiple accounts.
Viva la social interaction and all that.

Eve would be much more interesting. Reputation would have actual importance as people could not hide behind alts. Security status would actually have consequences. People would have to work together more. I think it would be a positive gameplay wise, but even if it were possible, would never happen since CCP would lose lots of subs.

Due to ToSgate and SOMER this game hasn't really turned out like I thought, so I've canceled my third account and am down to two. If I can figure out how to do without a neutral scout for wardecs, I'll likely cancel that one too. Eve still fun, and the best mmo there is, but I think I'd rather save my money for the next Splinter Cell or GTA. So that is 3 alts for me down from 6 that I had. From a personal perspective I'm close to seeing what Eve would be like without alt.
Hey CCP, please slush my fund like you did for SOMER Blink. |

The Mittani and Chribba are my alts.

If the old statistics are still true (~2 accounts for every player)...
- EVE would have half the population it has now (maybe less since some people would quit if they can't have their alts).
- The "metagame" would be nowhere near as murky or interesting.
- Professional gankers would still ply their trade
- logistics and moving would be HELLISH.
Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

I have 3 passports. Seriously. Birth. Another country through naturalization and a parent being from there. And a third one by marriage to a citizen. Although I don't usually tell the embassies this when I apply for renewal. Dual citizenship is all they ask about, dual citizenship is what they get :) |

Logistics would be HELLISH?! hahahah holy Christ we would wittiness the biggest indi-bear melt down threadnought ever.
It would make T20 and Blink threadnoughts look like short stories.
It would crash eve-o and roll it back to 2003.
