There is no

If's or Butts here

This is nothing more than a way for ccp to make money and makes no sence

If people could afford to buy plex to bring ingame they would have dual accounts

There is NO viable reason why we should NOT be able to train three chars on one account or switch to each INGAME other than CCP greed

This is nothing more than a blatent market attempt to get more money

Shame on you

SHAME ON YOU

Actually I see them losing money from this. I only have one account at the moment, and have had no need for an alt account so I wouldn't pay for one. However this gives me the option to train an alt in a very specialised way but not lose training time on my main character.

So you don't want CCP to make money to keep running this game? Ok then.

You are a particularly bad troll...

This may come as a surprise to you, but people set up corporations to make money together, and that's the sole purpose of a corporation.

Corps in EVE may just be guilds to you, a chat channel where you can talk to all your friends, but that's not how real life works.

Do YOU like to undock?

Sure there are. Not to mention more return-key abuse than is necessary.

It's how all MMOs work: you can only progress one character at a time.

Sure it is: it's an attempt to provide a service that players want for much cheaper than any of the current solutions.

Basically OP is qqing because she wants to be able to train multiple characters simultaneously on the account without paying for it. Shame on you OP.

Left disappointed :(


Though seriously, I hope I understand your rambling correctly so my post makes any sense:


Is there any other game, where you can LEVEL all chars on one account simultaneously?

Also, if we follow your suggestion and let all three characters on one account skill under one subscription, this will cut income by the purchase of game time to about 1/2 of what is is now, assuming 50% of alts would be financed via this method.

Which will also mean a lot less funds invested into producing (free!) expansions. I don't see why people always think of the marketing department as a bunch of evil, greedy semi-satans wiping wheir noses with hundred-dollar bills.

This is not a marketing screwup at all.

Also, you are still free to pay all your three accounts via CC/PayPal, nobody forces you to anything.

yes, because they make more money from you training an alt for 3 months, then never paying for it again, instead of having to pay for it every month. right?

you're so wrong it's painful.

0/10 poor troll is poor troll

It's going to be an awesome thing for me because I have 4 accounts running right (that's 4 main chars) now with alts(miners etc) on them which I would love to train up a bit more but could do so before as I don't want to take time off training my mains.

CCP gave us a solution to a problem faced so deal with it or go make a EVE online clone and implement running all your 'alts on the one account' just like you want.

Put up or shut up.

_**Noob **_isn't really a status, it's the online equivalent of a 5-year old calling you a poopy fart head.

It's a market economy, and if you don't like the price then don't buy the product

There is a viable reason why we should NOT be able to train three chars on one account, and that is because CCP don't want it that way, they write the game, they make the rules, and if you don't like it then don't play the game.

It is a great idea allowing a 2nd char to be training on the account if you need it, be it a research alt but you don't want to pause training on your combat alt, be it a market trader alt but you don't want to pause training on your mission running alt, or be it a supercap parking alt when you don't want to pause training on your mining alt.

How is it a rip-off? if I want to train up a supercap parking alt, atm it's very roughly 3-4 months depending on implants and remap. And since most parking alts only ever get trained up for that.

As it is now, set up 2nd account and plex it for 4 months and train up the parking alt, then spend another plex or whatever it costs to transfer that char to the account I wanted it on in the first place but was busy training up my trader alt.
Cost - 5 plex

or pause training on my trader char and train up the parking alt, lose 4 months training
Cost - Waste 4 plexes worth of training time.

Or the new way, spend 4 plex, train up my parking alt while still training up the trading char.
Cost - 4 plex.


As far as I can see, it's a win win, if I wanted to roll up a quick cyno alt, I spend 1 plex and utilise a spare slot on my account if I want to but not have to pause training on my main, or if I were a tight-wad then I would pause training on my main and train up the cyno alt, either way it's my choice, and I can't see how it's a rip-off.

Just out of curiosity: How much does it cost to transfer characters between accounts? Can you also pay this with PLEX?

OP is mad because CCP is a comercial business. Shame on you OP. And contrary to OP I will be happy to spend real and/or imaginary money on this product and/or service.

You need to spend two PLEX to transfer a character?

I've wanted this option for years, I can't remember all the situations that came up that made me want it but I also have a reason to use it when the expansion launches. For instance I'll need just ~30 days to max out a retriever pilot.

If there is no use for dual training, then there will be no demand and no plex will be used that way, and CCP will have wasted some efforts in offering the option.
If plexs are used for dual training, then there is a demand, and CCP is right to have implemented dual training.

protip: there are plenty of use for dual training.
