While I was watching the streams from EVE Vegas I noticed that for the redesign of the character selection screen, they were testing layouts for specifically 5 characters instead of the current 3. Then for the fancy mock ups there was one with 5 chars, one with 4 chars and eventually we get to the screen we have on SiSi right now. But that also has room for 5 chars if you wished.

So is this an idea CCP is throwing around the office or something? Keeping it in mind for later? Why make a design for 5 chars if we can only currently have 3?

Sorry for the lack of visual evidence, can't be bothered to go watch the stream again and take screens right now. Maybe tommorow Cool

Quintuple training! Its the second best way to waste PLEX!

The best way is to simply contract them to me.

You'll have to buy those extra character slots from the NeX store. P

And then buy a PLEX to enable training on them.

I wouldn't mind this if I could play multiple characters on the same account. Then it makes sense.

Don't pay for your game now, out of pocket. What makes you think I will pay a PLEX per character per month...when I cannot even use them simultaneously. Ludicrous.

I would kindly like Mr. Decker to remove his EA influence from my EvE gumbo.

Dammit, this isn't a car dealership. You cant buy another VP until you get this one paid off first.

Great idea.

1 plex to buy the slot
1 plex per month to train that extra slot
and 1 extra plex per month to allow you to play multiple characters on the same account at the same time.

Brilliant Idea.Lol

Might I also recommend a 1 plex licensing fee every time you change the EULA as well.Evil

Its EvE Online EA style, and everyone said that VP was a waste of money Lol

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

And 1 plex to keep the alt running, otherwise it gets biomassed after 1 day.

I like having three rather than one character slot per account, thank you.

Four or five would be even nicer. Now as to what cost I'd be willing to pay for that, ah...

5 chars / account would mean I could get rid of one of my extra accounts, and only pay 1 plex/month, or cash equivalent :)

I approve!

Lmfao.

By that reasoning, people would be paying like 500 USD or more for a single full access account. Shocked

If that were the case, we could actually maybe get WOD back in motion, actually add some developers to the EvE pool, and maybe even get a PC DUST port.

Of course, to play all of these games, houses will have to mortgaged, children will have to be sold into slavery, and you will have to enter into suspended indentured servitude...because you will have to pay 234,748 USD a month to play the EA...I mean, CCP...library.

Eve has too many alts already. That said, the alt situation is already ******, so I don't really have any problem with this. It's not going to make it much worse anyway.

Also, confirming I saw the UI mock-ups with 5 characters on them.

I wonder if those mock ups were for multiple accounts on a single login page? They were hinting at that at one stage, that we would eventually be able to link accounts and login to them from a single page.

One login, buy character slots and login slots?
