EVE General Discussion

No, but is basicly, as written, its a "CCP may bann you simply ... because" clause.
Would you rent a flat if you noticed a clause like "house lord may throw you out if he doesnt like your nose"?
And i just want to ask, why?

And yeah, i´ve read a lot funnier EULAs, containing stuff like "takes no responsability if this software rapes your woman and eats your dog" or simply the good o´l DO WHAT THE **** YOU WANT TO LICENSE.

CCP already could ban you simply because.

CCP will always ban for 30 days at first, as they want to give the benefit of the doubt to people, if they are caught again they are banned forever. The first one is considered a warning, the second is them saying goodbye. The exception is if the account is found to be engaging in RMT actions. They are banned without warning and for good.

Also if you believe them, a lot of people don't know that they are doing something wrong and are apologetic (the fanfest part about security mentioned this).

As far as the court thing, I have no idea.

For each valid Account you maintain, you may install a copy of the Software on, and access the System from, a single computer or Game platform, and from a secondary computer if you so choose. You must purchase a separate license to the Software for each additional Account you register; e.g., if you have 2 Accounts, you must have 2 licensed copies of the Software. You may not use more than one Account with a single licensed copy of the Software. You may make one (1) copy of the Software for backup or archival purposes.


so just to get my head around this. If you have 6 accounts for instance your need 6 computers???????????????????

EULA's are serious but also funny.

PC Pitstop included a clause in one of its own EULAs that promised anyone who read it, a "consideration" including money if they sent a note to an email address listed in the EULA. After four months and more than 3,000 downloads, one person finally wrote in. That person, by the way, got a check for $1,000 proving, at least for one person, that it really does pay to read EULAs.

I'm not really sure what the issue is here.

Perhaps the EULA could be more clearly written, but to what end?

Some of the wording is likely left over from when Eve was sold in a box with a disk. (a friend of mine recently found a mint condition Original Eve Online game box with instruction manual and disk).

If you believe you are violating the EULA stop.
Petition for clarification if you are unsure.

If you have 6 accounts, you do not need 6 computers. (you will need the client installed 6 times on a computer with enough processing power to run them.)
Once the client is installed, you can copy the folder multiple times.
When the client updates it saves a seperate update file in the eve client folder which you can copy to your other installation folders to prevent having to dowload the patch multiple times.

You need an account to log into the client, which you must pay for yourself though real money or PLEX (which someone paid real money for, and sold in-game for isk.)

So it correctly represents CCPs intention and avoids confusion and unnecessary installs.


It is as I mentioned earlier when I paraphrased a GM.



I've already done that( so you don't have to and burden the GMs). You do not need to need have multiple installs.



Yes you can do that if you want to live strictly according to the EULA, BUT you do not NEED to.

I think you should have mentioned that as you're ISD, people might actually go install multiple times, that you're not violating the eula according to CCP if you only have 1 installation and use that with multiple accounts. You will not get banned for this.

Hi Guys,

Sorry to shut down this conversation but the EULA is an agreement between you and the company, the only people qualified to talk about what it actually all boils down to are employee's of CCP Games, and they won't come and have the conversation here in a public discussion forum.

Any other discussion about this does really fall under the rumor mongering rule and therefore is not a permissible subject here.

The best thing you can do is raise a petition and ask CCP about your concern.

Sorry, but I have to lock this thread.
