Time to go back to wow, where it makes no sense to have multiple accounts

How are you even going to "catch" people who are input-multiplexing hardware-wise

G'bye. Get a bloody corp, you bot.

They'll hardly lose a buck. Don't see a ISboxer actually paying for his accounts. Any drop in PLEX prices already??

A good day for Eve.

I am not unsubbing :)

I only started using isboxer in the last few months, and I have had 32 accts for over a year.


I like your attitude a lot more than these ragequit posts I see in this thread. Keep on being cool !

Still wondering about that keyboard binding. Not for managing multiple accounts at once, but fe. to enable all hardeners at once on one char. Allowed or not?

Guess my 12 accounts are done as of January 1, 2015. I had fun while it lasted. First Warcraft removed /follow from pvp because of all the cry babies now CCP has removed multiboxing all together. The Eve universe is going to change quite a bit when all the resources people were pumping out with multiple accounts goes away.

Merry Christmas CCP. Thanks for the lump of coal.

See you cry babies in the next mmo I multibox in.Big smile

First. Thanks CCP for clearing this up.

Second. This will change the economy and pvp a lot.

Third. The people that will quit because of this will not be missed by the people that stay, the majority.

We would like to clarify that it does not matter how Input Broadcasting and Input Multiplexing are being done, whether through use of software or modified hardware. Our only concern is regarding how it is being used in the EVE universe.

How does this policy update regard the usage of KVM switches to control multiple computers from one mouse/keyboard?

for those that dont know what a kvm switch is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVM_switch

How you can mix up KVM switching with multiplexing is beyond me, mate. Obviously KVM is going to be allowed because you're not automating anything. It's the technical equivelant of getting off your arse and moving to another computer.

I can see both sides of the coin on this decision. My issue with this decision by CCP is the tardiness of it. CCP have done a u-turn on this stance and therefore left many players who have made significant investment in a specific play style out in the cold with little to show for it.

This thread seems mostly centred on people gloating on a 'victory' over people pursuing this play style. I for one would like my money back on accounts I will no longer have use for.

If CCP are going make a u-turn on policy they should be willing to reimburse those affected.

Do you really think that people subscribing with PLEX somehow deny CCP a sale? People who PLEX their accounts are just paying with someone else's money. CCP gets theirs no matter what. In fact, every account sustained via PLEX grosses CCP 33% MORE money than the same account kept alive with a traditional subscription, due to PLEX costing $20 (compared to the traditional sub costing $15.)

Good.

As a vet of 7 years, get out. People like you, and other ~new~ scrubs who came in a few years ago after other vets left Eve made this game change, for the worse. With the changes being made now, the new rules, the new content, I am seeing old friends come back to Eve with a bit of hope that it won't be ****.

If getting 1 or 2 honest to goodness pirate vets back, the ones who made pirating classy, means losing 100 ISBoxing scublords, I say good riddance.

Now GET THE **** OUT

Lol, wat? So you and your 20 mining alts can keep dumping mineral prices in the gutter? How about no?

Hrm so Mining goods are about to sky rocket. Ok so I have never used one of these things you speak of but even I after over 10 years in the game know that this is a terrible idea. So when you are making decisions did you consult an accountant? You realize that you are prob going to reduce CCP income about 3M a year just from logins who will drop accounts that are used for that sort of thing ? Ok not to tell you guys how to run a company but just flying around for so many years and knowing persons who use that.. At least 5% of eve is just miners on isboxer. Good luck on driving into a brick wall or whatever you dudes do.. Phobe great idea. this.. I would consult an accountant.

By the way, out of curiosity, what's the difference between Input Broadcasting and Input Multiplexing?

(I ask as someone who'd be more likely to use ISBoxer to store frozen veggies than to slave multiple ships to one controller.)
