Hi.

I wonder what will happen if CCP would prohibid to have more than one account from the same IP address? Will this slow down the game or contrary bring more PvP? You can't have alt.
1. Faction warfare becomes a serios business. If you lose system, you have difficulties with evacuation. Spying gets really hard, etc...
2. Wardec in high sec can become a serios disaster for small / not PvP corps.
3. Null chars have to live under pressure all the time, they can not use high sec alts to get a breath. Soverenity and security plays much bigger role.
4. Prices for minerals goes up. Logistic starts to be as important as PvP itself.

What do you think?

Personally I dislike alts and multiboxing. For the past 10 [ish] years I have only run one account. Probably because I'm simply attached to my character.

Yeah getting rid of alts would make alot of people pissy, But honestly, I would rather it be one account at a time.

Also it is very 'immersion' breaking when you see that 40man gang of clone ice miners using IS boxer. [or whatever it is they do these days now that some functions are banned.]

Why do you post with your alt then? Set an example.

For being a hypocrite on the case and in general: A truly wonderful idea. Roll You do realize that there are technologically apt people out there who can easily circumvent this, gaining an absolutely unfair advantage over other players.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

I like being the one who is many, each of my selves explores a different facet of EvEs available gameplay and allow me to stay engaged with the game as my interests shift.

Plus it wouldn't take a great deal of effort to circumvent.

How many people do you imagine do Invention as a primary activity rather than on alts? Reactions? Cap Building?

As much as Rifters online sounds cool, it's probably a bad idea.

Umm, actually it is not a suggestion. It is more of a question, what do you think about such fate. Will the game survive, becomes better, worse etc... May be wrong forum section, I just did not feel like posting this in Intergalactic summit or how it is called. Here I expect more interesting answers ;)

I agree, that using proxy can let some ppl get advantage, but how many multyboxers know how to use them?

Let me laugh harder.

HA HA

Are you serious?
You know Eve players have on average (by old statistic whice definitely went up in 3 years) 2.1 accounts on average.

Find me 1 company that can deal with the loss of over 50% of its revenue and survive.

Anyone who wanted to would just google how to work around this, and anyone on a shared router (student house for instance) would have to do this out of necessity. It really wouldn't benefit the game at all to limit a person to one character.

Just because you are computer illiterate doesn't mean the hardcore nerds that multibox the most are.

Me and everyone else that have 10+ accounts would find a workaround in less than 30 minutes I can assure you.

I was for the longest time a straight up solo'er (which i in this context take to mean "i have no alts"). But then we needed a new links guy and while FF has maxxed leadership skills i WONT be the offgrid links guy thats just borng as hell...

Now my corporation at that point imploded so my 1 alt is right now just in charge of carrying frenzy's bags around when i go incursioning. although he's getting to the point where i could skill him into a carrier fairly efficiently...

It would be INTERESTING but it would never stick is what i am saying. Not just because i can easily have 2 PCs hooked up to my 2 screens but also because to much of eve is just to boring to ACTUALLY DO... Noone wants to be links for a fleet fight, noone wants to ACTUALLY MINE for a titan. (ask me how boring it is i built my own carrier by hand -well i had someone assemble it)

You just killed off college players online from their Universities. If you don't understand why, you are not qualiied to make this suggestion.

Also, proxies are a thing.

It wouldn't take that long. Ten minutes, tops, and that probably includes downloading any software you might need.

Sorry, but this is too easy.

Are you referring to the massive advantage people with multiple accounts already have? A smaller number of these people would be great for the game.

And, there is a difference between an alt on your main account and a true alt on a second account. I really shouldn't have to explain to you what that difference is.

Anyway, will never happen, that's like half of CCPs income.
