Full EVE experience starts at 2 accounts.

With 6+ you are already cooking with GAS! you can ship spin 6x or more as effectively as peons with just 1 account :D

Not to get off topic but why does that matter? If the client can tell if a trial account is active, why can't any client tell if two clients are running?

It's not that it can't - but it's not a problem.

Trial accounts however are deliberately restricted; they're supposed to be for trying the game out after all.


Of course I believe that you're still required to have seperate installs for each account you use but perhaps I haven't read the EULA/ToS in detail for a while.

I just open ISBoxer, select locust swarm from the dropdown, and it starts up 50 clients nice and easy. Takes about 20 seconds.

Still think it's cheating. But that's just me. There, I said it.

I guess it depends who you ask whether it's a problem.

How is having 2 accs, or 3 multiboxing?

Having a couple of accs with each open in a different client/window doesn't ever come close to that description in my mind.

Someone having 2 accounts and using a third party programme to use both accs at the same time would though.

I have 3 accs, and whatever i'm doing I have to go to every character and do it, myself.

Btw, I have a single screen to do it on as well, with 2 or 3 clients running. Each about 3/4 of the screen in size and arranged diagonally from top left to bottom right.

It could, if it had a reason to.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

So you're multiboxing. Your personal definition of the word is irrelevant in the wider discussion - like the people who try to win creationist arguments by redefining evolution.

If you want to be super literal, multi-boxing requires that you be using more than one physical PC (the box), and comes from the days when running two clients on one PC was not going to work due to hardware limitations. Now, however, with PC's having so much more power, running multiple clients can be done quite handily on most single PCs - I suppose the proper term woult be multi-clienting, but that's a little cumbersome to say, I think.

Edit to add:
ISBoxer (and other apps like it) do not enable you to multibox - the combination of the client and your PC's available resources are what make that possible. ISBoxer just makes multiple clients easier to manage, but it is in no way required to be a "multiboxer"

Much ado about...maybe this should be written down somewhere...can't doublebox a trial account....
perhaps in a nice red.
I hope you don't mind, but it is actually written in blue:

Please note: Trial accounts are not able to be logged in at the same time as any other account from the same location, regardless of the second account’s status. Once the trial account becomes a full account you will be able to log it in at the same time as another full account.
