Hi All,

I couldn't find a reference to this in any search terms i tried. Maybe i just didn't use the right terms.

I was wondering if it would be a huge inconvenience to the game that the 3(max possible) characters on an account could all have their queue full and would sequentially train each as the previous finished. I realise this sort of goes with the whole "why can't i train both chars at the same time" thing. But, it's not quite the same.
The only real difference as far as I can see is you wouldn't have wasted time cause "OMG" i forgot to hit apply on my second char after the first one finished. To me it would just be convenience.
I realise though that in a sense it would allow people to essentially "long train" as it were, but we are paying for the time and we do have the slots for the characters, so i can't see why we shouldn't be able to do this...

Maybe i'm wrong and i'm misssing a very important aspect of something. If so, please let me know. If not, well Big smile

Thanks for a great game! And hope i don't ruffle too many feathers with this :D

I didn't know people were even using multiple characters on the same account, but sure, why not.
However, when trying to add new skills to the queue, make sure that the total skill queue time is less than 24h, much like how it works with a single character - i.e make queues independent of characters, allowing you to mix character training as long as its total before the last skill in the queue is less than 24h.

Yeah that could def work. it's only really useful for low sp characters to have multiple on one account. like for the trade alts and scan alts and such...

:D
