I've tried to logon to my account as well as a trial account, but that didn't work. I got some message that CCP loves my enthusiasm but that I should stick to 1 client to play. Now with the Power of 2 promotion I'm wondering if this would allow me to launch the 2 clients at once on my PC.

Yes, you can definitely launch as many paid accounts on your PC at once as you like, Power of 2 included.

Paid accounts you say... That would mean that I only couldn't launch it because it was a trial account?

Correct. You cannot run a trial account concurrent with any other account. You can run as many paid accounts at a time as you like.

Thanks guys. That'll mean I'll have to upgrade that trial account or play it a bit while not playing my main character (or both P)

Yeah a trial plus a non-trial isn't possible as stated.

If you are running a lower end computer, 2 clients should still work fine if you drop graphics settings down low. I know that running two clients with high settings does not work well for me.

I support the New Order and CODE. alliance. www.minerbumping.com

I think I'll be fine with 2 clients on borderless window on maxed settings. I managed to play multibox 4x Lineage II client on my previous system with lower memory and GPUs (8Gb and 2xGTX460 vs 16Gb and 2xGTX660 now and still using Phenom X6 1090T)

run the game without the launcher. Go to your eve directory and double click the eve executable directly.
