OK i just started playing ....
I love the game ! so i made a second account. --- need advice and help mutil boxing .. let me explain .

I have two Different steam accounts ... A primary and an ATL steam account..

When i click to play the game on the primary account .. it shows my user name with a PLAY button.
once i am in the game ... I go back in to the EVE launcher ... click on Switch user account...

then is asked me to put in a username and password.... Problem here...
since i have a ATL Steam account .. I technically don't have a password for that second account
since steam Auto loggs me in to Eve launcher...

How do i run two steam Eve accounts on the same PC ??
please give me some advice ... I have goggled help and cant figure it out ..

Stop running it through steam, just run exefile.exe from the directory.

If you want to multibox, here's what you gotta do:

Start a real Eve account.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

As far as i am aware you would need to run both steam accounts (you have two logins for steam? of did you purchase Eve Online twice on the same steam account?).

I don't think Steam allows you to run two Steam Clients simultaneous and because of the Eve login tied to the Steam login you wont be able to run both eve clients at the same time if you are running them on the same PC, mind you this is a Steam limitation.

If you run Steam1 on PC1 and Steam2 on PC2 you will be able to run both at the same time.

If you want to be able to run from 1 PC you can at maximum use 1 Eve Online account via Steam, if you want to run more you need to purchase those directly from the Eve Online website wich allowes you to get a normal Username and password. Those allow you to use the ' switch user account' feature on the launcher.

50 Million ISK for the killmail of this guy and his alts.

Yes, it's not much, but he's not a challenge either.

I welcome any new player (less than one month old)
who does not multibox and kills him, with a 25 Million ISK bonus!
