Hey everyone, been trying to login another account while playing on Steam with this one and it does not seem to work. Been trying for hours, all help would be appreciated.

If you have a trial account open, you can't have another account open.

If they're both full accounts, should work with no problems.

Woo! CSM XI!

I heard CCP endorsed a cloning program or something that allows you to circumvent this, I only need him to trade me the items he bought in station he is not there for any other reason. At war so cannot do my own shopping.

you can contract them. Takes a little longer and costs ISK, but if you can't trade, contact works fine.

Nope.


You can have as many accounts open at the same time, as long as they are all paid accounts.

The moment one of them is a trial, you can only have that one logged in and none other (OR, all other paid accounts but the trial).


So, sub both accounts to trade or use a contract.

Try to avoid steam. It makes your do drop.

Can trials make contracts now? I thought contracts were locked for trial accounts.

While I am a huge, huge fan of Steam, I wholeheartedly suggest that anyone reading this not use Steam to play EVE Online. It should not even be in consideration.
