Not sure if this is the right section (Think it is cant find any other section that would be relevant)

So After trying the new launcher and getting annoyed at my self for having to manage multiple accounts. i thought it would be a good idea if instead, of having multiple accounts to log into we should have one account and each £9.99 or plex opens up 3 additional character slots with 1 training slot.

Once logged into the new launcher, you would be given the choice to log into whatever character you have instead of loading up the character selection menu.

Example of what it might look like/ features it could have - forgive the bad paint skills

of course spies wouldn't like this so they could just do it the old fashioned way and ccp would need to figure out a way for us to run more than one character at a time under the same account. im sure they're will be other issues too but would make managing accounts and characters easier for most people.

see i'm just dualboxxing most of the time (i know i am t3h nub) but for me its already a vast improvement over the oldlauncher since i can log in my 2 chars at the same time without having to struggle with other aspects of the process...

This seems like it would stop people with more then 1 toon from logging more then one at a time in..

What happens if I've paid a plex to get a total of 6 slots and then I let it run out so I only have 3 now. What happens to the characters in the 3 slots that were closed? How do I keep track of how much time is left on each set of 3 slots?

Guess they would just be greyed out or something like that, and on the drop down box or in the corner it would give time left or something.

and the part about not being able to multi box i mentioned that they would need to figure this out but really it should be simple enough to do - unless legacy code Cool
