i just started the game and after some research i gotta say, having to have multiple accounts so im able to have an average income or fun in the game is a HUGE turnoff for me, i dont plan on paying subscription for 2 accounts , i heard some boring activies like mining you need a second account so you can do something else while making isks.
Can i make decent profit , above average, as a single account will my ability to do stuff in the game be always below everyone else's?
despite of the answer, im dissapointed with the fact you can even run 2 accounts at the same time, as 1 is sold like the full experience of the game just so you discover you are suboptimal or something.

I have one account and I am rich and powerful. You can have multiple accounts in any MMO. I tried it and it was not for me. That's why they call this a Sandbox.

Lol...I'm having a great time with only 1 account.
Also, you do not NEED multiple accounts.
They can help, but only "People with NO social ability" have to substitute friends in game with more accounts.
Basically the only 2 reasons I would say you NEED multiple accounts:
A. If you have any capital and want to do a safe cyno. So that you are also the cyno and know where you are jumping into. B. If you have a super capital and want to park it somewhere (babysitting alt).
For any other thing, you are way better of having 1 account and just make friends and join a corp and do stuff together.

Multiple accounts are useful in a few areas. If you want to specialize into two areas, having multiple accounts with different training paths can help with this. Or for scouting, cyno-ing, and so on.
But any activity you can do with an alt can be done better with other in game players sitting at the keyboard instead. Just pick an area of the game you enjoy and find an active corp with the same interests. |

CCP DONT CARE ABOUT THEIR USERS, THEY ALLOW 3D PARTY WEBSITE TAKE PLAYER ISK`S IN SCAMM LOTTERY AND THEN THEY SAY :
OH SORRY, WE ARE DEVELOPERS AND WE CANT DO ANYTHING.....
PEOPLE WASTE REAL MONEY TO BUY PLEX FROM CCP AND LOSE THIS MONEY IN LOTTERY, AND THEY CANT EVEN CHECK PROPERLY ******* SITE.
GOOD AND VERY POLITE TO NEW PLAYER LIKE ME TACTICS.
I HOPE U WILL LOSE MORE SUBSCRIPTIONS, BECAUSE U DONT CARE, ******* FAGGOTS. I PAYD 250$ NOT TO LOSE THEM IN RMT LOTTERY.
PLAYERS, NEXT TIME THINK BEFORE DONATE AND BUY SUBSCRIPTIONS, DEVELOPERS HELP ONLY PPL THAT ARE USEFULL TO THEM, THEY DONT CARE ABOUT OTHER.

There are some people that like to multi box mine so they can have a hauler and one or more minners that don't have to stop mining to haul on one account. I've seen people run 8 accounts at once and even provide their own boosts for themselves. That is something that they like to do. There is no need for it.
You can do anything that you want in this game on one account. There are certain activities which require you to make friends but that is the point of an MMO.
Not only is multi boxing not requried I can make as much on one account running combat sites as someone 3 or 4 boxing mining toons.
This is one of the two main myths about Eve that I wish I could dispell. So many people that don't know that much about the game say that you need multiple account and this game is just spreadsheets in space. Anyone who tells you either of those things does not know much about this game. Yes you can do both of those things in this game but they are far from required. |

not sure what you researched but you most definitely do not need multiple accounts to support yourself in eve.
Hell you can pay for your ingame time and still have loads left over to buy ships if you do it right. |

Two accounts makes it possible to have your own scout and alt for the cyno mechanic; if you have a large capital ship, it jumps from where you are to a cyno beacon created by someone else in a different system, and this "someone else" can be a trusted buddy or it can be your alt, and it's easier to have your alt available than it is to ask buddies to help you travel.
But capital ships are a long ways off, at least a year of skills required, and they are definitely group ships because they die easily if left undefended by your corp or alliance.
Otherwise, one account, one character even, can do it all, and I'd guess the majority prefer one character vs. more.
A lot of the multiple account people are trying to play for free by making about 1B ISK in-game per account, so they can pay their subscription with PLEX from Jita. It's obviously possible, if boring and exhausting, so they're trying to employ economies of scale to at least make some money on the side. If they're going to spend 12 hours daily mining to pay for a subscription, might as well have 4-5 computers working at it and pay for 5 subscriptions + the chump change then adds up a little, that kind of thinking. |

I used one account for my first 2 years in game. I added a second as a hauler alt to my miner. and then I made a third to specialize in pvp. I have a 4th that does whatever that I never use. So it can be done easily with 1, but more allows you to do more.
Your best bet is to make friends, then you have scouts and the like, but having a reliable cyno alt when you need one is always awesome.

I have multiple accounts, I almost always only play one at a time. Sure it is a little more convenient to have one character sat in jita all the time for trading, one character that can stay in the main area I play in, and one character that can fly around and haul stuff. With multiple character training that is now in game you can do all that on one account much more easily. and for that matter you can really do it all on one character pretty well.
I'll join the chorus asking CCP, don't take my fancy names away from me!

The "train an alt on the same account for free for 20 days" gift they gave everyone at Christmas can definitely let you make one alt with all the trading skills and a little industrial for emergency hauling if needed. So you can be within 20 jumps of Jita (to avoid the horrendous spam in the local chat channel) and still daytrade in the hub along with the best of them. And you can haul incognito when your main is at war. And still be playing a single account. It's definitely doable.

Or how about this:
Pay for one account, train your main, do fun things.
Use the buddy invite system, open a second account, which gives your main an extra month of game time, so, bonus!
And on the second account, make 1 character and park him in the starter school, start training him for something specific (and desirable), like "Perfect Miner with Exhumer skills!" or "Freighter pilot!" or "Industrialist with high production skills!" or "Stealth Bomber pilot!" or "SuperCarrier / Titan holder pilot (those ships can't be docked so they need a character to be in the ship while the pilot is on his honeymoon so it doesn't get stolen as it sits in space)."
Then once that training is done in a couple three months, sell that character on the Character Bazaar and hello 3-5 billion ISK income. No effort from your main, no divided attention, just a bunch of skills cooking away in the skill queue. |

Yes, because your friend will have so much fun sitting in a full link t3 or station trading to give you the isk or hauling ore back and forth. |

Don't dis.
Couldn't mine, hauled ore, got paid for it, didn't consider it a bad job. Better than grinding L1 missions. Hauled stuff for corp (logistics), managed POS fuels for corp (out in Providence), cooperated with other traders (rather than competing) back in the day when it was all about robotics after server reboot, provided cynos, provided scouting for hauler friends.
Some people like support roles. |
