I applaud your decision to add alpha state to the game for some sort of Free to Play to the game. However I do have 1 concern with this.
I feel that the limitations may be too restrictive to be profitable for CCP and all around advantageous for the normal f2p gamer.
So while I understand CCP's approach to getting new and returning players back into the game and the goal is for a full subscription.
While this is a solid premise at the end of the day it would be more profitable to set in place a hard limitation to 1 Alpha account per Hardware Mac address, similar to what DayBreakGames did for their TrueBox servers where 1 Machine can only run 1 Client per connection, however multiple machines could be used. This would prevent free accounts from multi boxing and farming,
However I believe the ability for free accounts to reach a state of income where they can PLEX their account would increase the number of PLEX purchased thus increasing the overall income benefit of going F2P model. I am hugely against micro-purchases as I am sure the entire eve community is.
I believe that the ability to fly Mining Barges and use tech 1 strip miners would be sufficient income capability for players to farm up to earn a plex and utilizing a software similar to the TrueBox I mentioned earlier which blocks multiple accounts from running based on Machine Media Access Control address (MAC) would prevent this system from being exploited.

Can't your MAC address fix suggestion just be bypassed by buying multiple LAN NICs assuming your MB can handle that?

The point was that CCP limit one character to one IP via MAC. Changing MAC is irrelevant as you can still only run one player on a PC. If you want to run multiple characters at the same time then you would need multiple MAC (or NICs).

If you want to run multiple characters at the same time then you would need multiple MAC (or NICs). Then use virtual NIC's. There will always be a way around it. The best CCP could do (if they wanted to) is to make it difficult enough, so that laymen can't do it without guidiance.

Spoofing your NIC MAC would do nothing to get by anti boxing anti vmware, VMware is easy to detect & an application like eve can do anything from using registry keys to machine mac coding to track the machine that you use and verify only 1 account per machine logged onto the tranquility server, however multiple machines on the same ip could exist. |

The easiest way CCP could prevent single machine Multi boxing would be by using CreateMutex call in the program very similar to
#define APPLICATION_INSTANCE_MUTEX_NAME "{BA49C45E-B29A-4359-A07C-51B65B5571AD}"
//Make sure at most one instance of the tool is running HANDLE hMutexOneInstance(::CreateMutex( NULL, TRUE, APPLICATION_INSTANCE_MUTEX_NAME)); bool bAlreadyRunning((::GetLastError() == ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS)); if (hMutexOneInstance == NULL || bAlreadyRunning) { if(hMutexOneInstance) { ::ReleaseMutex(hMutexOneInstance); ::CloseHandle(hMutexOneInstance); } throw std::exception("The application is already running"); }
