CCP couldn't have given me a batter Christmas present. I really needed to train up a market alt so I had already stopped training on Hiasa. Now Hiasa can improve on his inty flying skills 20 days earlier.

Squee!

Oh and remember to use the original fitting ...
... mine ...
... not the weaker copycat fitting CODE shows off on minerbumping.

I have variations for all wallets and skillpoints.

20 days?

Just enough time to train another forum alt with Whiny Douche 5 that will fit right in around here.

Whiny douche V is 20 days and 12 seconds with optimal remap and +5 implants. Honi soit qui mal y pense.

Why would anyone want to do that when they can just go with a sidekick account, either way it will cost you a plex per month to train a character without needing to transfer the character at the cost of more plex.



For exsample, I have a "Bank" alt. Its my old EVE Radio DJ char. He essentially sits in jita all day and I use him to send excess money too, because I figure if I can't be assed to log out and back in and transfer money then I really don't need the thing I want to buy. He also does price checks. I could use the 20 days, train some trade skills and see if I could turn my isk into more isk. I would only need to log into him once in a while, so why would I want to spend 800m+ a month to do that, on an alt that I just need to trade?

Or as stated you want to do pi, will noe you can train your two alts and set them perfect for pi then stop training them.

Or in another alts case, I needed a holding corp alt. I could toss a month of MCT on him and get the corp skills to what I want then never have to train him again.

Or I have a cyno alt. Same thing, he just needs to be able to cyno, nothing more, why waste the money.

Or I have a scanner alt, all I need him to do is scan me a way into my wh if I stuck in empire. no need for another account.

Get the picture?

Na, still useless for people who have several accounts, why would i want to do PI on 7 more characters? Its bad enough having to do it on the 7 i have. Same for cyno alts, why light cyno in a frigate when i can do it in 6 recons. 20 days of training is just enough to get you close to most stuff then force you to either switch training or pay for more time.

Anyone having issues using this?

I've followed the link, opened another training slot in Account Services. But in-game, it's still not letting me do dual character training. It says that one character is already training...

If you have 7 accounts why would you care about 20 days training. In fact if you can PLEX 7 accounts why would you care about anything smaller than a free cap ship.

For new players 20 days can create a PI, mining, trading or hauling alt. Anything more will require adding a PLEX worth of MCT which is clearly the point of the gift.

What's worse is, in the case of the complainer's 7 accounts, CCP has actually given him 140 days of free training.

It is extremely useful if planned out properly.

The only thing limiting how useful 20 days of free training is, is the person sitting behind the screen pressing the keys.

Having seven subbed accounts all training full time and no alts on any of those accounts is unusual. Probably just his play style.

Shame you cannot consolidate the 20 days from various accounts onto one characters training :D

His playstyle you say? His stubbornness I say. By limiting each himself to one each account he is limiting his play options by 2/3.

At the worst the 20 days free training can be used to top up an alt bought off of the character bazaar.

Wow!? Gets something unexpected for free and still complains....


Naw, not really complaining, but stating that said gift is more or less of absolutely no use to me in it's form. Heck, I could also give it away to someone else.

Thank you, CCP.

High up on the list of good things I have gotten this year. Third place I think. Second is a card from mom and first is that nobody I care for died this year.

I had this younger emo gaming friend a few years back and she would say things like "My life sux, i wanted to hang around the mall this holidays and my stupid parents made me go to France for 2 weeks"


Emo and hanging in one sentence?
