obligatory flame comment! etc etc
i have many alts to fly different kinds of spaceships. it would otherwise take me a literal foreveryness to try out different things. the different playstyles of each race is nice to change between to.
Also i dont play eve 24/7 infact theres a high chance you play more than me.
And out of the amount of you that do whine about people having alt theres seems to me a much bigger majority who dont care even if they themselves dont have alts.
Why in your opinion is having an alt such a good thing? Is it because people can play 2 at once so have less need to rely on others? or is it because some can use industiral chars to fund their pvp chars? If anything i see new people getting alts an advantage as it lets them train for different things making them more useful and more upto the standards of what a single char'd older player can do.
And i dont see your problem with having a alt stated in your actual post. you seem to say they are bad but give no reason except maybe because people sell them for isk...
To be clear, it is not an issue with players chosing to have alts (although I do have an issue with that) so much as CCP encouraging it, that I have a string issue with.
If one, as a creative individual, creates a concept for a game I would assume playability across a broad spectrum would be a great goal. If one, as company, chooses to take on a great game I would assume your goals are profitablity. The two have a hard time meeting within the industry. CCP is in an odd position since their recent buy-out of White Wolf. They are now pandering to the most money-making concepts, i.e., cheap (read: no serious out-lay of cash to them, if any) alts that us gamers purchase, the new ambulation promises (that I will personally groove on) and the anti-pirate nerfs to encourage new players.
Look, CCP for the last 6 months has been making a sincere effort to make as much money as they can and I understand that. The balancing, the extra accounts for $50US, etc is all about trying to keep the "beta"s, the "past years" and the N00bs happy. Unfortunately, we will all end up *****ing and this is my current *****. And I, like any other whinger, thinks this is the most valid argument to have at the moment.
I think that offering alts for real money only destroys the ISK market which is what brings a lot of attention from non-player sources. That is my interest. If we can keep this game together as players (all of us) and keep CCP aware that their revenue stream is FROM us, then the core of this game will remain the same: playability for all styles and choices and continued interest from the non-playing community (equals more real cash for CCP) which mean better players from different circles.
Again, if all you beta player just want other beta players to diddle with, where's the challenge?

I am surprised this was a valid email by CCP. Totally looked like a scam to me at first, coming from a secondary email adress, no info on the website about it either.
Dont know if others had the same feeling, but just giving a heads on how customers might perceive this email.

With the inflation that is todays skill system 6 months wouldnt tempt me. If they made the second character with faster skill training (x2) for example would sign up in a flash.

Do you not understand the purpose of a second account? Hauling/Mining. You don't need 2x skill training to be an effective hauler/miner.

Wish this would have been going two months ago when I purchased my second account...Shame you can't use it on existing accounts. But then again, I see the point of not allowing it.
They should have some kind of promotion or "Thank You" for those of us who already have multiple accounts. That'd be nice.

I guess CCP is desperate yet again and seem to spread their intent that running several accounts are cool and a neccessity to play EVE Online at its fullest.
Yes, DO WANT a game where every player has four accounts each, DO WANT! So I guess the real question is, how many REAL subscribers does EVE Online have? A number of 200k was stated by CCP? I guess in reality, there are only 100k different persons?

Long as this game doesn't get as bad as Dark Age of Camelot with multiple accounts, that'll be fine.

lots of stuff
Stop trying to speak for others, you claim people who started last year are getting fed up. Well the corp I am has lot of players who have started in 2006 and we are all loving this game. We have already caught up with the few really old accounts we have in corp in our specific fields of specialization like certain hacs, dictors, etc. Sure those older accounts can do stuff like man pos guns and have wider array of ships to choose from but with the areas we have chosen to specialize in first we are just as good. Not to mention I myself am already lot richer than many of the older players so yes you can catch them and even overtake them. Plus the corp I¦m in is actually definetly one of the better corps in EVE even though majority of the people are way under 2 years old. So maybe you should look in the mirror instead of trying to claim to be reprensitive of group you obviously know very little about
And yes this is alt but why would I bother replying with my main to an alt ? |

Good to see Eve^2 is back, Wasn't sure if it was a scam or not (e-mail sin't from a @CCP address and all).
We use some service called subscribermail to handle it.
Originally by: Adonis 4174
Dude, I do that with my main account. I just had training and research and stuff all lined up to complete this week and my account ran out on Sep 14 or so.
As above though, which currency? EU49.95 is US$ 70 while US$ 49.95 is EU 35 (rounded to the laziest precision)
I will try to find out tomorrow, unless someone beats me to it.

It has to be USD or this offer is only marginaly better than buying two 90 day GTCs not counting any initial account creation cost.

Who knows for sure, id be suprised if it's 100k or above though.
On the topic though, i have to say im disapointed in this.
What they sell this game as, and what they preach in their communications, goes against entirely the message that this promotion offers.
Teamwork, "it's multiplayer game you know", consequences ... balance ect ect...
All of which are negated by multiple accounting, and hardly needs to be encouraged.
Another disappointment from ccp.... i don't care if it's a business, while they continue to preach about everything eve is and should be, and how it relates to my expierences within the gaming world.... ill either take one or the other, not both... when they fly in the face of each other hitting on total hypocrisy.

I know people have been posting on here and asking about using this for their existing account or for an alt account they made weeks ago. I made an alt account less than three weeks ago, and I am really wondering if it is possible for me to get this deal on that account. Had I known something like this was coming, I probably would have waited for it before I made my alt account. So, can somebody from CCP please respond? If I can't do it, no big deal, but I'm just very curious because this sounds like a really great deal.

Make account for $50, train for 6 months, transfer the char to an existing account for $20 so you have a well-trained alt?
Only $70? Still cheaper than normal.

Someone posted this in my sig: " Power^2 is failure. Get 2 GTC's for 55 euros and 30D trial time!"
Even tough i'm sorry to say it, it's very true. If power of two gives 7 months instead 6, it might be worth it, but at the moment, there is zero to near zero reason to use the "action" at the moment...  Shame tough, it nearly got me to buy a second character.

You say the Power of Two has no purpose and that it's better to make your alt account suffer from all the limitations of the trial program for 30 days (assuming you can even get a 30 day trial, remember that's not the standard) to save 5 Euros? You confuse me. |

I just received an email for that...
Originally by: from: EVE Online Newsletter ([email protected])
This offer is good only until the 4th of November 2007, and costs 49.95. After the six months the subscription of your new account will expire but you'll have choice in which manner you want to renew your subscription. Note that this offer is only available for credit cards and Direct Debit.
Great..  I was happily chugging along with one account when the last ^2 offer came along and I upped myself to 3 accounts for the ****z'n'giggles of it.. Now CCP goes and does it again and I'm in need of a dedicated hauler to get all that ore my 3 Hulks are dredging in..
*le sigh* Grabs his CC..

I haven't had any luck getting information on the currency for this offer, considering it's the weekend I doubt I'll find someone who knows until tomorrow, Monday.
