If I can have as many accounts as I like to, is it legal to:
1. create 5-10 tryal accounts per day,
2. fish 5-10 mio from buddy programs of different players
3. spend those mio on the market
4. load goods into cargo hold
5. abandon rocky ship.
6. go to main account and board abandoned ship.
7. sell the cargo.

I think this whole multiboxing is killing the game experience. On the other hand if any player is better then me, faster or does things more efficient and this way gets ahead of me it's fine, but this method is cheating in my eyes even if it's legal.



People multibox in every MMO I've ever played, and it's always been allowed by whatever the game's developer's EULA. Are you new to gaming or something, that seeing this would be such a surprise? I'm not being snarky here -- it's a serious question. I can't fathom thinking of a multiboxing miner as someone who is "cheating". In fact, there are so few rules in this game, and what rules there are are very plainly laid out, that spotting actual cheaters is a pretty simple thing to do.

Granted, the very first time I stumbled across The Wis doing his ice mining thing, my breath was genuinely taken away. That guy really does take multiboxing to a whole new level. But if he can handle it without botting, more power to the guy.

Actually I am. :) I've tried some MMO before but didn't went in too deep. EVE seems much better to my taste. I like the sandbox.
About multiboxing, it's really not that big deal, I just didn't know how is that possible, but if it's ok around here than it's fine by me. I still have a feeling that if CCP would want players to use multiple ships same time they would put the possibility into the game, but I totally get your point. If people think about this as something "cool" - I can live with that.

Great minds think alike that was my first thought.

Welcome to Eve. Everyone here is an Evil Sick Sadistic Bastard who is out to get you. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either trying to scam you or use you.

Sure, it has no tank, and will cap out in 40 odd seconds, but this is a highsec gank. Tank won't save you, and 40 seconds is longer than you'll last.

Just remember to do it soon, as battleship prices are going up.

Woo! CSM XI!

My dear Capsuleer, you have very easy choices here to counter this;

1. Go mine Veldspar in missions.

2. Mission then buy Ore.

3. Reprocess cheap meta items and sell salvage, buy ore.

4. Multi box yourself.

5. Join a mining corp or form one thus thou shalt become the locust.

6. Gank them.

7. Bump them.

8. Awox them.

9. Buy plex buy ore.

10. Move to lower sec system such as 0.5 cause most don't like mining there with long Concordonkin wait times.

Here in eve the choices are many YOU must make eve a place of fun or stress.

Posting in a thread that is blatantly not by a new player, but by someone with an anti-ISboxer agenda.

this idea made my day. whoever can pull this off and send me a fraps video of it, will get five armageddon hulls as reward.

Yes, but this is not the question. The question is "is it legal" to create few tryal accounts per day ? Cause with current offer EVE can ends up having more accounts, than total population of the planet ;)


I tried once to make a trial combat account and a trial mining account and the system stopped me when trying to open the second program with something to the likes of" We are glad you are enjoying the game, but only one trial can be running at a time" or something to that degree.

I checked the info and all of them had the same pilot, Sprittie.

Am I the only one who noticed this?

How would multi-boxing make that possible? Surely each account would need a different character name?

Read the OP.

It's Sprittiexx where the x's are ascending numbers...which likely means with every little imagination on making alts.

I quoted the OP: "I checked the info and all of them had the same pilot, Sprittie."

The OP gives the ship names as Sprittie01, Sprittie02, etc.

Yesterday I had a strange experience during mining. When I got to a belt there were about 40+ ships mining, most of them were Procurers around a big ship where they loaded up their ore, and all of them had the same name like Spritti01, Spritti02, etc, up to Spritti43.

No he doesnt, youre reading that into his post all on your own. Its impossible for two characters to have the same name so obviously the characters were named Spritti0 to Spritti#whatever.

Anyway; If you want to compete on any level in eve you'll eventually get to using multiple accounts. Its how eve was designed to work.

~22 hours of mining. A setup like that can easily pull in +132 billion isk a month in highsec.

The Coreli Corporation is recruiting.
