This has been suggested since the dawn of time and I believe there is a step towards this to be released with Odyssey.

You know a quick search would of shown you that this has been suggested many times.

Read before posting, search before posting, don't fill the forums when you can support others who have had the same suggestion before you.

EDIT: And I added some detail of what my idea was with a button and everything. Flesh it out a bit, give something to the bare bones eh Smile

EDIT 2: And your Char is four days old? Try 9.5 years of waiting for this to come in. Jeez. /bittervet

Why wouldn't you? Apologies for the EDIT 2 comment but please do a search and help support others who have suggested things on the same topic, it adds to the case and maybe a Dev\GM will pick up on the theme.

Thanks,

Max.

A long time ago EVE had a switch character button and it was exploited to holy hell to insta escape traps. People would hop on an alt thus despawning their other character from harm.

But with the new aggro system that is void.

providing that your login would be locked to the aggressed character for that aggression duration yes. otherwise you could switch characters and come to your own rescue in another character on the same account. which is all kinds of wrong.

I dont tried it so far, but you can do the same thing atm? Even if login in is longer you can still switch characters.
