CCP should just build multiboxing support right into the client (allowing you to control multiple accounts from the same client) and reclassify the game as an MMO-RTS/MMO-RPG hybrid.

Multiboxers get to keep playing Eve as an MMO-RTS.
Single players get to keep palying Eve as an MMO-RPG.
Noone has to worry about 3rd party apps.

This needed its own thread?

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

I feel like you could have dropped this joke in an existing thread.



Edit: Puck two.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

Serious proposal. Why can't Eve be an MMO-RTS?

For clarification, are you referring to people who play with programs such as ISBoxer or people who play multiple accounts and give each and every account individual commands?

IMHO, there is a difference from someone who runs 2, 3, 4 ... x accounts independently and someone who runs 2, 3, 4 ... x accounts off the same keystrokes. Can you clarify your stance?

And I do agree, another thread?

If you could control multiple accounts from the client then there would be no differance between the players you mention. They would all use the Eve client to control their many or few accounts.

There are many games out there that let you control more than one "unit" at a time. Eve could function just like them, becoming a true MMO-RTS.

This is a great idea.

One more clarification please, if you will.

Is there difference, in your opinion, from someone running multiple clients one (or more) PCs/Macs and issuing all commands independently and one person running multiple clients and using software to issue commands?

I honestly don't see why the either could be compared to an RTS. In an RST you are command X 'units' in one client, in either case .... I fell for the troll.....

That whooshing sound in your ears is CCP moving mountains to implement this idea.

Your question is not relevant to the proposal.

My proposal is to turn Eve into an MMO-RTS. I.E. Control X units in one client, the Eve client.

In other words allow someone to control more than one account at a time within the Eve client itself.

There is no "Multiboxing Issue".

There's just a bunch of whiny forum gnats that can't be arsed to run more than one client at a time. Don't like that you can't do it? Get a better rig/internet connection.

lol @ poeple that think CCP will get rid of people multi-boxing. I still havent seen a legitimate reason as to why CCP should disallow this and in the process, hurt their bottom line. CCP is a business people. They only care about one thing: Taking your hard earned cash.

I read the first word in your name and got really excited but you are, and will never be, Ginger Magician.
