There is a thread somewhere here on the new forums about it. It's legal according to that thread. Pretty sure a GM or Dev even posted on it. Think it wad mentioned in the cockpit thread too.

I recently saw 6 Myrmidons undock move around and warp off, all in perfect unison. It was obvious to me that they were all being controlled by the same person

It would seem to me that the owner of the accounts had a method of sending KB and mouse input to 6 EVE clients all at the same time. I would presume that the module and overview layout was identical on all the accounts so that locking up a target for example, would lead to all 6 accounts locking up the same target.

Has anyone seen this before, or know how its done?

It seems to me like an excellent way to utilise one's alts.

It was obvious that they were controlled by one person because they undocked and warped off in unison?

Because there are no game mechanics that might allow for warping 6 ships at once?
Because it is impossible to have multiple people undock in unison?

If it is one person and they are doing what is said, they are probably plexing all the accounts, thus paying nothing but their time to play EVE.

It can be done by exploiting the eve client as well, which is much simpler then going thru much more effort as described earlier here. My bet is on the sploited client.

Ok guys news flash, as a fleet leader you can warp your whole fleet with one click of the fleet boss. As far as them undocking at the same time that is easy because as well as playing in a fleet youGÇÖre on vent and say undock; wow! You all come out at the same time.

LetGÇÖs get real around here, we know that there is stuff out there that helps you to use one keyboard and one mouse to control as many computers as you link to, but you still need 6 screens to see what is happening on each account and you have to move your mouse over that screen to do anything with that account. This is by no means a exploit, but yes some people use bots to run their accounts when away from the keyboard, this is a exploit as you can leave the keyboard. Now back to the not a exploit way, if you use one computer or more and have the monitors to hook up then it is easy, I have 6 accounts, but only 3 screens so I alt tab to get to the other clients. I also use 6 accounts at once and can do a dam good job even with only 3 monitors and having to swap clients. Nice thing about Windows 7 is if you put the mouse over the icon on the window bar it shows you a small screen of your other clients this way you don't have to change screens as much if you look at them this way. I can mine with all 6 accounts and I can mission, but I never PVP with all 6 too much to keep up with, now when I get 3 more screens and I don't have to alt tab I will PVP all 6 together as that would be easy as well.


As for the guy that said who pays 90 a month to play this game well I guess you got me there, but now again with 6 accounts working together I make a **** load of isk without breaking the Rules.

Pease out my brothers in arms

Plexing six accounts in order to grind enough to plex six accounts!

Way to go champ.

My record was somewhere in the realm of 4.5bil in a single day running incursions with 6 accounts. IIRC it only takes about half that to keep them plexed for a month. Nope, can't think of any reason why someone would want to run multiple accounts and pay for them via plex :D

That said, the last time I used ISBoxer I was running RR domis (I just manually multibox for incursions). I would immagine what the OP saw was an ISBoxer user, because IIRC the guys who make the program placed that limit on the number of accounts you could run at once (not sure why, but that was why I had 6 accounts running around)

Once you have 20+ bil, can't you just make exponentially more by trolling small markets in JIta ? After the first 10 billions, you should be beyond grinding.
