EVE General Discussion

Respect.

EVE is a low resource type program so you should be able to run at least 2 clients without trouble.

I am just happy to see them get rid of three strikes and move to a first time 30 day ban second time PERMANENT ban!! YES YES YES!!!!!

ANY RMT including first time is a permanent ban as is any modification to the client. These are ALL positive steps to stop people from violating the rules and ruining EVE for everyone.

THANK YOU DEVS!!!!!!!!!!!

They had to revise their statement, because ISBOXER does break the EULA.

"You may not use your own or any third-party software, macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play."

Since ISBoxer does provide a single player, with advantages over another single player not using it, it's against the EULA.

I'm sure they'll revise the EULA though, they can't afford to lose all those ALTs.....

I have been using ISBoxer for the last several months and will continue to use ISBoxer until CCP says not to.

At this point ISBoxer is within the rules as CCP has stated their policy towards ISBoxer has not changed.

Just my two cents on the matter.

Just incase no one mentioned it yet:

Of course you can do this, but be really really really careful how you do this.

Seems people are getting banned for the use of things like ISBoxer. Personally. I've no plans to ever use ISBoxer (My two accounts are specialized on totally different things, so that would be a terrible idea from the get go).

Having said that, I've already deactivated my alt mostly out of lack of desire to be hit by the next wave of changes because I see not much hope if any account is banned, in getting it unbanned.

Conclusion of this ramble, fly safe and if you're unsure if what you want to do with that 2nd account is legal, don't do it because what is acceptable today, might be outlawed tomorrow and you wont know about the change until a week into your ban :O

p.s. no, my alt has not been banned. Just tired of having to play 20 other games as some friends can't play eve anymore.

"PC" covers a hell of a lot of hardware / software / configurations.

My personal best about 2y ago on XP was 9 with max graphics. As a guesstimate on my hardware today 15 - 20.

To be fair in regards to ISboxer, it is somewhat CCPs fault for these types of programs. With how much CCP promotes alt accounts and multiboxing, it shouldn't be surprised these programs exist and are favored by the playerbase.

Which makes it not free.

Your joking, you have to buy a subscription?

That's just too funny, just goes to show that money can't solve stupid.....

Koolaid. I assume that is some kind of obscure American beverage?

ISBoxer doesn't accelerate the aquisition of ingame items compared to normal game play.

Yes, it makes playing with multiple accounts easier in some cases, more difficult in others, but does not break any rules. No need to justify something that is still allowed, despite your claims.

I play with myself frequently.

"ISBoxer doesn't accelerate the aquisition of ingame items compared to normal game play."

You're claiming that executing a single keystroke or mouse click is not faster than doing the same thing 20 times. Or that 20 ships does not execute a task faster than one ship. It's really a matter of realistic perspective vs rosy glass perspective. Yeah, an ISBoxed character is not any more accelerated than normally played character.

But an ISBoxer is acquiring ingame items at an accelerated pace compared to normal player when both control the same number of characters.

Furthermore ISBoxer massively extends the maximum amount of accounts a single player can feasibly control.

Compare this to a mission-running bot running one account 23/7 - perfectly possible by human without external programs as well. Activating a module on 40 ships simultaneously- impossible for a human without external programs. Yeah yeah one can construct mechanical devices that replicate keypresses across accounts.

But so can one construct mechanical device that runs missions. And yet one is banned, other not.
