I've managed in EvE with a single account since 2012.

Honestly, it doesn't sound like you really need 2 accounts. I'd say, make one Omega and keep the other Alpha.

A single account is fine if you plan to stay in highsec

if you have the real monies, there's hardly no reason for you NOT to get a 2nd or a 3rd account, in fact, i'll encourage you to do so, provided that you have the money and in no way will affect your real life finances.

I just got a second account after playing for a year and a half, and the reason was because I found a PvE / industry niche that having a second account greatly helps with.

Personally, the only reason I would have 2 characters training for covert ops would be to do black ops hot drops in null sec (character 1 lights a cloaky cyno for character 2 in the BLOP)

most people I know that use multiple accounts use them for additional miners or for scouting reasons.

My advice would be if you don't have an extremely specific training plan for the second account (ships, fitting, area of space, daily activities, etc.) then you should hold off on the second account. Most of the benefits of multiple accounts can be achieved by joining a "big enough" corp.

A single account is fine literally anywhere. I've been playing in mostly lowsec for almost five years now with a single account. Your personal failure/fear to exit high sec with one account is your own problem. The fact is, at the end of the day, if you did indeed need more than one account to participate in any aspect of the game, it would be a scam. But you don't. You just need to learn how to make friends...

Who is gonna trust a professional griefer whose main pastime in existence is harvesting tears out of random dudes? certainly not me.

You definitely need at least a secondary account to scout outside of high-sec if you're not flying in an instawarping nullified cloaked hull, and if you really don't want to put all your eggs in the same basket, a hauler / market one

I can think of some reasons you wouldn't want people to be careful outside of highsec, but that would probably be paranoia, eh? ^^

There's no reason not to have multiple Omega accounts and there's no reason to have more than one Omega account, either. Having more than one Omega account allows you to do several things like scout, utilize a cyno, multibox, etc. Once you get a second Omega account up to a certain skill level it's often easy to utilize skill extractors to pay for PLEXing it each month whereby your only real cost (subscription or PLEX) becomes your primary account. And has been pointed out, you can certainly do just fine with a single Omega account, too.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

I agree with Zoubidah, they are intelligent and thoughtful comments on the topic. Don't listen to rude greifers who are just being disingenuous. You see their true colours in game.

I've been living in wormhole-space for 6 years now with a single character and i haven't had any issues. Of course, I'm not doing it solo, but as a part of a corporation. Playing with others is the best part of Eve.

Someday I might have the confidence you guys have.

As from now Trasch will hibernate as Alpha while Jon (the explorer) will
continue making ISK and and training towards Co-op ships.

Buzzard and Manticore are my primary goal, takes a few weeks because
Im gonna take some necessary exploring-skills to level 5.

Ofcourse I can still do missions and all sorts of stuff with Trasch.

If you always stay ready you don't have to get ready.

Five years with a single account, Zoubs. Just because you tell people I'm a 'professional griefer', which is perfectly meaningless and unsubstantiated to begin with, doesn't mean people suddenly have a reason to trust you. That being said, at least I play the game, and people can feel free to look me up in it and ask me how it's done.

I can think of some reasons why you would want people to spend more money on the game needlessly, not the least of which would be shilling for CCP.
