Felonious Pirate Caldari The Arrow Project Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2008.12.29 19:28:00 - [31] Have a free bump Kabantik :)
Terminal Insanity Minmatar Echo Squad Brutally Organized Ruthless Gangsters	Posted - 2008.12.29 23:17:00 - [32] what i think should be done: give the option of paying x2 the price on the SAME account, and allow 6 chars, 2 skills for those accounts, and login 2x. When you stop paying for the second half, 3 of the chars get shaded out and reverts back to the basic 3 char account. allow this to go on up to 18 chars, or as many as the player wants to pay for... but all on one account.
Onys Cissalc	Posted - 2008.12.30 15:17:00 - [33] Except that that results in 'hack one account, hack them all' or 'phish one account, phish them all'. Having a Master Account that has a password allowing you to do nothing but lock accounts and then change their password after a set interval of time allows the owner of a group of accounts to lock any account he feels has been compromised, have CCP investigate his claims and then change the password on the account after, say, 24 hours. This gives an active player that logs in at least once per downtime interval the ability to make sure none of his accounts are locked; in the event one is locked and he didn't instigate it, he can contact CCP and have them lock the master account, and then go through confirmation as to who actually owns the master account. It involves more work on CCP's staff's side, but it provides players with an extra level of security on their accounts. One that shouldn't need to be used, mind you. If you have a very complicated master account username/passowrd, then short of keylogging or phishing, it should not be easy for this account username/password to become brute forced or hacked. Server side database encryption, as I'd imagine CCP uses, coupled with this complex username/pass would mean that hacking and decryption of your username/pass on their servers would take longer, in the event someone even got that far.
TheFamished	Posted - 2008.12.30 19:09:00 - [34] I think this thread needs a bump for today

Adonai Darkwind Caldari	Posted - 2009.01.01 12:02:00 - [36] First of all, I would agree for any system that would make character/account management more efficient. Secondly, I just hate these morons that answer on topics with just an, 'epic fail', 'phail', 'whiners/carebears STFU!' or any other kewl l33t lines. Learn how to form a meaningful sentence or don't ***ing answer to the topic. Thirdly, if an account is shared between two family members who live in the same house, the ip doesn't change. That means that for the system itself, its the same individual who plays it. ------------------------------------------------ ~ Tempus Imperator Rerum ~*

Deimi	Posted - 2009.01.01 20:35:00 - [38] Originally by: Clansworth Be nice to have them in the same account, as they could share an API key. Yes! Thats the reason for doing this. It still wont stop someone from having 2 cards paying for two accounts. But it would make the business of spying alts somewhat harder and less common. Idea supported for this reason only. Is it a new forum rule. That for everyone posting something you don't agree on. You should accuse them of being a troll? ;)

Isabella Montague Gallente RUDE Alliance	Posted - 2009.01.17 01:56:00 - [43] Edited by: Isabella Montague on 17/01/2009 01:56:37 I say f' the whole paying extra to use the character slots that were given to us. There are times when cash milking customers goes a little too far, and this is one of those times. I pay for an account. Included in this account are 3 - count 'em! - THREE character slots. Not one, not two, but THREE slots. Why the hell should I have to pay EXTRA to use something that's given to me with what I've already purchased? I should open an EVE styled restaurant. I'd follow the same business model as CCP. You can buy a meal that includes a burger, a drink, and some fries. HOWEVER, you can only eat the burger. If you want to eat the fries that came with your meal, well you're out of luck! If you want fries, you have to buy a whole second meal. Thirsty? That'll cost you a third meal. oh and I expect you all to show up and eat at my restaurant (no discounts) and defend my business practice against those who don't like it. EDIT: Typo
ArchenTheGreat Caldari Husarian Loyalists	Posted - 2009.01.17 10:52:00 - [44] EVE is not for kids. They will meet all kinds of scumbags and griefers in space. If you really need that much level of control over your kids they are obviously too young to play online game. My kids can't play online games at all.

You can train characters (for example pvp and miner) on two seperate accounts. After your miner has perfect skills you can move him to your pvp account as second char and terminate his former account. Obviously you can't log to both characters at once nor train them at once but you have two god chars for a price of one.

The point of my post is why should I have to pay for a second account to train a second character when the account I already pay for has 3 character slots.

Mag's MASS	Posted - 2009.01.21 20:08:00 - [48] Originally by: Isabella Montague The point of my post is why should I have to pay for a second account to train a second character when the account I already pay for has 3 character slots. I'll rise to the bait. You have to pay for a second account, if you wish to train 2 chars at the same time. You cannot at present train more than one char, on one account, at any one time. This idea allows for just that, it's like a joining of your accounts, to run under one. This idea, does not take away anything you have at present, it's an option for those that have more than one account. As for the idea, well I am up for a change to account management, as it's rather archaic at the moment. Now those worried about account hacking. If you allow hackers access to your PC, or use your same login details in other places, then whether your accounts as as detailed or not, you'll have issues.

If you allow hackers access to your PC, or use your same login details in other places, then whether your accounts as as detailed or not, you'll have issues. Advanced/Enhanced account management will add a security layer, essentially, making it impossible for the "hacker" to change the personal details on the master account without phoning into CCP with credentials, thereby ensuring that if your account is compromised you have a grace window to prevent your secondary accounts or your characters from being transferred or stolen etc.... You can even lock your secondary account trading with an isolated password somewhere in the interface separate from your account password making it virtually impossible to grab and run with any EVE account if the user decides to use such features.
Rosur Gallente Infestation.	Posted - 2009.01.25 17:42:00 - [50] Agree that there should be a way for people to link there accounts together so it makes easier payment by credit card rather than 2/3 seperate payments. Though the indvidual accounts are still seperate so still have teh same login name + pass as before. Also may be have a discount on haveing accounts linked.
Felonious Pirate Caldari The Arrow Project Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2009.04.17 06:14:00 - [51] I would like to see the implementation of a "EVE launch pad" similar to Steam where you log into one master account and open separate instances or different characters without have to authenticate a million times
The Riddik	Posted - 2009.04.17 10:16:00 - [52] without being a jerk, i would like to say CCP should be working on so much more than this mindless crap. i mean really, if you dont have the brains to run and manage two accounts, then wtf are you doing playing eve.
