Hi: I was just woundering if it was possable to have a second acct.? I mean having two acct.'s with 2 toons at the same time? and if you could make a corp with them? I'm not concerned about the sub. cost.

As stated before me, you can mutiple accounts. Just make sure to take advantage of promotion -the power of two if you are considering activating a second account.

.o.I think it's 49.95 USD for 180 days OR 3 plex with new account character... could be wrong, but thought that's what it was.

If you get enjoyment having a second account gives you more options to help you in missions my alt helps with frigs, mining out and hauling.

It is nice having an alt but if you don't mission, mine, or haul or trade...a second account may just be wasted money instead of buying plex to fuel other ventures.

DO NOT PUT YOUR ALT IN THE SAME CORP AS YOUR MAIN.

And anything you enjoy doing with your main train your alt to do.

It depends on lots of circumstances, if it is your own corp then it might be useful to have them in the same corp, and have a third alt on one of the accounts to serve as a corp holder if you should have to drop corp during the dec.

If it is in a player corp run by others it can be very handy to have a nuet alt who you can use while the wardec is going on. However it isn't absolutely necessary to be in a separate corp, you will just have to know that you have to be much more cautious during a war.

These days you really have to **** someone off to get a wardec, because with a minimum 50 mil isk a week wardec, the enemy is going to want to have targets to gain that cost in killmails, which most small corps won't have the numbers to really do so (unless they are really daft and bring in ships that are woefully expensive).

Yes. That is what I do.
It is nice to have a second player around who is usually awake at the same time as the first. And he's in my corp, too, although I'm not really sure just how much I can trust him seeing as how I know how unreliable he is (hope he doesn't read this).

Two is a good number. More is always available if you start making the kind of isk that allows you to plex more.

New account only. It's "pay 3 Plex/$50 get a new 6 month sub" not "Pay 3 plex/$50 get 6 PLEX" because the second would be silly.
