As a paying customer for this game I think it is pretty disparaging that we can't have one Omega and one Alpha clone (an alt account) logged in simultaneously.

I figure since I am now one of the people supporting this game and have been for 9 years, I was very disappointed to learn that I can not have an alpha clone logged in at the same time as my Omega. Maybe you don't appreciate your paid customers support, maybe this hasn't come up as an issue for you yet but it's not exactly fair for those of us who pay for the game to not have access to at least on Alpha clone.

As far as I see it if I am paying for an Omega account I should still be able to access at least one Alpha, can you please respond to the community of paying players on this.

It was also impossible before this change, to have a trial account and a subscribed account logged in together.

Why is it such an issue all of a sudden?

It's not an issue all of a sudden, it's just another entitled brat complaining about the free stuff he got.

Yeah since you have been playing 9 years you know that trial accounts can't play with subs. F2P is a trial.

That is not the way it is being advertised to new players. Everything I have read is "EVE is free"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQciMy_Pr0Q here is the trailer

I guess that is just not the case for people who actually pay for the game.

Show me one thing you've read that claims "EVE is free" without any caveats. The limits you're complaining about have been known since this was announced. Just because you pay for an Omega account, that doesn't entitle you to run any number of free accounts on the side simultaneously. Do you have any idea how quickly and easily such a feature would be exploited to mess up the balance of the game? There's a damn good reason why you have to pay to have multiple accounts online at a time.

You call people 'fanbois' as if anyone that disagrees with you or is against you on this is one. Which is how I know you're hurling it around as a pejorative, and don't actually understand the meaning of the word, but I'll let you in on a little secret: fanboi is not synonymous with wrong, and as long as you continue to act like a spoiled brat throwing a tantrum, hurling pejoratives around like that is about as meaningful as a child screaming "I hate you!" at his parents after being disciplined for doing something wrong.

Grow up. The fact that CCP has given away anything for free, anything at all, is ******* mindblowing, and you wanna sit there and whine about it? Get the **** out of here. Seriously, put your money where your mouth is, unsubscribe, biomass, and get the **** out of here. No one is going to miss you and your one little paid account.

Who would have guessed that EvE is not free for people that pay for the game. TIL

Every subbed player would have a gimped little alt in a Gnosis following him around, literally every subbed player. That would be a bad change and as such isn't allowed. I'm sure you understand how giving every subbed player a free alt was not the point of this F2P trial thing.

I'm sorry, was there a point of any merit you were trying to make, some kind of refutation maybe, in your snide little cookie-cutter attempt at trolling?

While I can see the negatives of making an alt essential for normal gameplay - on the other hand a game like eve thrives when there are a lot of characters logged in and active whether that is 2 real players or 1 real player with 2 characters - some kind of happy medium wouldn't be a bad thing.

There already is a happy medium. Currently people who want an alt logged in at the same time as them have to pay for it, preventing it from becoming "too" out of hand. A free alt for every player doubles (minimum) the number of accounts logged in, doubling server load and halving resource abundance in return for exactly 0 increase in investment in the game and CCP.

You see Alpha clones are good because while free, a few of them have the potential to become paying subscribers which offsets the potential extra server load of letting them all test the game out.

Giving a free alpha clone to every subbed player too just crowds the servers for next to no potential profit.

I used to have no issues with logging in on a trial account while a subbed account was online. The other way round didn't work though.

Totes Cool

Feel like the "community of paying players" are most likely just laughing at such entitled whining.
