MCT will cost me the price of a PLEX, or 20 euros where I'm from.

A monthly sub is 15 euros. Less if I'll get 3, 6 or 12 months.

A month not paying a sub and I can play it as an alpha clone. Slower training, limited, BUT playable to some extend AND still training.

Explain then, why would I pay 20 euros to train a second character that I can't play simultaneously with my main, and won't train if I don't pay?


For temporary training of a second passive character.

If you have 2 accounts, you need to sub both accounts with money or isk. Otherwise you cannot access the characters in full without subbing.

If you have 1 account with 2 characters, you only need to pay for 1 account and will have full access to both characters for the entire duration.

When people use a second character that is for something specific, that doesnt require being online for long periods of time, its worth it more in the long run to have it on a single account, rather than have 2 separate accounts.

PI is one, Jump freighters and out-of-corp couriers/market traders can be another reason.

You'll find that you need sprcific toons for specific jobs, so thst losses can be minimized.

I run 2 mains, & 4 toons total.

So that is 2 subs.

It works out fine, as you can choose who goes where etc. It's rare for me to PLEX or buy a 2nd training queue now.
