I wanted to buy another account to play 2 accounts, Is it possible to dual client 2 steam accounts? I know a lot of people hate steam here but I only have money in my steam account and seeing its on sale figure I could use another account.

If you could get steam to run in two instances it would be. I've personally never tried it, but as long as you have two separate steam accounts and have them running at separate instances of each other it would be possible.

It's be easier if you just downloaded the non-steam client.

You're stuck using the steam client for the account that you created through there, but you can multi-box as many (paid) accounts as your computer can handle with the non-steam client.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I do have the non steam client, can I log in my steam account through non steam client?

no. you're stuck with the "steam client" for the account you set up thru steam (as it uses the steam authentication to work).

Download the regular EVE client from the website and use that for all your alt accounts. That's what I do for my market alt and as long as your alt accounts are paid (you can't have a trial and a subbed char open at the same time) it works fine.
