We know that CCP are looking into possible discounts for continued subs and discounts off second accounts further than just the current Power of Two offer that is available from time to time.

A nice feature I would like to see would be to move characters between my accounts without having to pay the PLEX cost. There would need to be a cooldown on this to prevent load/abuse, but I think being able to essentially be able to make it easier for me to control which of my different characters are available to be online without having to think of it far in advance of pony up on PLEX costs would be a very effective tool.

While I would love this personally, it'd be exploited to death with buddy invites etc. I can't see this one happening in the future, sorry bro!

While i would love this too since I tend to move alts to different accounts after they are trained, as to train another one.

I don't think CCP wants to lose the 2 PLEX I pay each time I do it. So, not seeing that this would work out good.

How does CCP tell which accounts are owned by whom?

Stuff like that to tie them together. You know, connect the dots. If they can track RMTers and people buying and selling characters, I'm pretty sure they can track simple character transfers to see who owns which. But as others have pointed out, the idea that the OP mentioned is just asking for abuse. It will just complicate matters considering we have the Power of Two and the Buddy Invite program in place.

It says in the CSM minutes they are investigating ways to mark one account as a Master account and perhaps offer discounts on continued subs of side accounts. This proposal was in relevance to those plans and I recognise could not work before them.
