Let's have a situation where you have omega status on a character (1 day remaining) and multicharacter training activated (20 days remaining)
Currently when the account lapses into alpha status and you still have multicharacter training activated you can't keep training Omega skills on the second character even though you paid for that plex. ( i don't know about alpha skills training on 2 characters at once but it sounds like an embuggerance either way.) But apparently it pauses your queue and no time is lost.

I'd like one of the following things implemented:

Either; When the account lapses into alpha but you still have Multicharacter training running it ignores the alpha restrictions and keeps training what it's training.
Or the account becomes omega for however long you had multicharacter training still going to be active and either the most SP character or whomever was training will continue training.

Didn't realize it worked that way. I agree, but idk if that would be difficult to implement or not, since you can use it on any character it would simply act as a cheaper(?) PLEX.

I get what you're looking at though.

If you have paid time, I believe the account should remain Omega until that time expires. It wouldn't surprise me if CCP has a substantial backlog of edge cases to sort through before everything introduced in Ascension works properly. It will take time.

I would petition it - you paid for the time and should be able to use it.

IIRC CCP said something about this last week and that's how it's supposed to work. Omega and MCT are separate things and one is not equivalent to the other. You can have MCT active on an account that is in Alpha status without it gaining Omega status.

MCT adds a second training queu to your account. It does not flag it as omega so IMO, it makes sense that you inherit the alpha limitation of the account itself isn't omega. You didn't pay for 30 days of omega training but 30 days of multiple training queu.
