For a game that pushes multiple characters and accounts it sure makes it painful to switch between them. Why do I have to log out, wait for Eve to restart, retype my pw just to switch to another character on that account? There really needs to be a switch character button next to the logout button that takes us back to the character selection screen. Every other MMO I've ever played has had this feature, it's pretty standard. CCP pushes "The Power of 2" ,but do you know how painful it is to control 6 characters logging in and out?

Soo you dont know how to use search functon or look up 2-3 pages back?

Other than that I heard that we should get this "soon", you know, like in some distant future.

CCP really please dont use Upgraded, Limited, Experimental and Prototype in item names. It sounds like the item is actually worse than basic meta 1 item. Use Calibrated, Enhanced, Optimized and Upgraded. Its really easy to understand that the item is better than meta 1 and its also in alphabetic order.

We should of gotten this a long time ago, not soon. Like 2004 long time ago. There is no reason this shouldn't have been included almost right after launch. Even MMOs of that time had a switch character button. It's so damn archaic not having one.

Well if you want look smart, at least do some research. As far as I know, it was there before, but got removed because it caused some problems with seasion changes, settings etc. Long story short CCP were lazy to repair it, so they removed it.

I would even settle right now for an option to wrest control of the training queue by the character you're trying to initiate training in. Instead of being told 'X is training Y, log in as that character and pause the training', just ask 'Do you wish to being training on this character and pause training on 'X'?' .. Yes, No.

Then you could at least switch training schedules much easier.
