Hmmmmm This would make GM's jobs a hell of a lot easier tracking wise if all your alt's were under 1 account. Is there any reason/benefit to allow people to have multiple alt's active but spread over multiple accounts, rather than having 1 account and multiple alt's active?
More chars per account = less accounts = less good looking number.
Imagine people suddenly merged all their accounts.

From a players perspective definitely yes, as you cant log in multiple times with the same account. EDIT (at the same time)
Yeah sorry if it wasn't clear but I meant if you were allowed more than 1 active alt per account. Putting aside how this would be paid for (1 alt per-plex?)
And yeah, as has been mentioned, numbers look better presently. |

Nah, you just replace "accounts" with "actively training characters"

Each login slot would be a subscription, really.
As it is, login slots (1 per account) has been somewhat separated from training queues (now 1, 2 or 3 per account).
However, if I have 2 accounts, I can't login characters besides one from each account at the same time. A "mega account" would probably be worse as some people would only want two login slots, but many alts. Whereas for three alts, you are gonna need at least 1 subscription (industry alts, PI alts and cyno alts probably don't need to all be logged in at once).
There are no goons. The goons' 0.0 dream is over.

Also, I can't currently train 4 characters but only have 1 login slot. I must have two. *shrug*

Perhaps I'm being obtuse, but assuming that CCP are increasing the number of characters per account, what's the problem with this?
To put it another way: suppose CCP just said "you can have as many characters per account as you like"?

No problem at all, but some kind of mechanism would have to be put in place so that you can log in with characters from the same account. Maybe make it so that all actively training characters are allowed to log in simultaneously.
Would be interesting to see what that would do with subscription numbers, since you'd get a very clear picture of actual people playing the game. 1 account = 1 person instead of the 1 person = 7 accounts we have going right now.

Would give a lot more flexibility to those of us who want to train large amounts of toons without ever having to pay for them.
Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.-á |

Don't pay for your game now, out of pocket. What makes you think I will pay a PLEX per character per month...when I cannot even use them simultaneously. Ludicrous.
I would kindly like Mr. Decker to remove his EA influence from my EvE gumbo. Great idea. 1 plex to buy the slot 1 plex per month to train that extra slot and 1 extra plex per month to allow you to play multiple characters on the same account at the same time. Brilliant Idea.  Might I also recommend a 1 plex licensing fee every time you change the EULA as well.  Its EvE Online EA style, and everyone said that VP was a waste of money
Even with all that, you will still need one PLEX to rule them all. Then you'll need some Hobbits to destroy that PLEX.

would also partially satisfy my curiosity of free eve accounts and you only pay for the training queue.

nothing will stop you having more than one account if you want to pay more than 1 plex per month.

I have another way to say that, but it would get me banned from the forums... And I still want to demand Hellmar's apology for a while longer till my account shuts off. |

Like this idea, though i highly doubt this means you could have more than 1 character on the same account logged in at the same time. You'd still need seperate accounts to fly more than 1 pilot. So only really useful for those that actively use their alts for more useful things than scams, ganking and thefts, and other skulduggery.

It was rasied at the following round table.
Nothing was confirmed, but it was shown as a 'maybe', from the UI department. Obviously, there are other things that might get in the way, with infrastructure being needed.
