You can use the character transfer process. It would cost you $20 or 2 plex

Training all 3 characters on one account for 3x cost would work. But since you have to log out right back to sign in, it really makes no difference if you go to one account or another.

The only thing I'd really like to see is the ability to switch characters without re-logging...

never going to happen... there's this little issue of CCP actually being able to pay the bills... including paychecks.

I have been training for years and years.
As a result, I have one useful character, One almost useful character, and one character that I kill off from time to time for reasons I'll not post.

I think it would be better if we could just train them all at the same time.
It would be for everyone, so it's not like it gives anyone an unfair advantage.

Also, it fixes the useless alt problem. I am far less likely to use my alt's to do unsavory things I wouldn't want to live with If they all had so many SP's that I couldn't justify just throwing them away.


Name one other game where you can log into multiple characters on the same account at the same time? Since that's effectively what you're asking. You don't even have to be logged in to train skills...

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

CCP is a civilian company that makes money off providing an entertainment product to it's customers.

You want more entertainment value? You want to train more than one character at a time?

You are going to pay for it then.

You want more product, you buy more product; simple as that.

It would be nice to get a small discount for those folks who choose to buy multiple accounts though.

Perhaps a 1 - 5 % discount on the monthly fee to those folks who pay for their multiple accounts.

Only problem with that is, once a player moves to buying PLEX in game with ISK and funding their account timer that way, CCP would take a MASSIVE hit in their wallets as they would be starting from that point at a lower profit margin.

Quite the opposite. PLEX is essentially "pre-paid" game time that is sold at a markup for in-game money. PLEXing your accounts is the same as paying a slightly higher subscription rate... except you paid someone else ISK to pay for you game time.

No other game lets you do this.

No other game uses a passive character "leveling" system either.

Actually... Perpetuum does.

Seriously though... name one game out there that lets you train multiple characters on the same account at the same time.

How did you Veterans start?

I like the way Perpetuum does it where you just gain SP and then can later assign them to any character on the account. If EVE did a similar system I wouldn't mind that at all.

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.
