The idea would be that you could pay a second (and possibly third) subscription for the same account to be able to train more than one character at once on the same account.

Having to make another account, transfer one character, train for a bit and then transfer it back to the original account is a bit much if you want to improve on a excisting character on a already training account.

It would also simplify making cyno alts, lab alts etc.

Pay for one month/upload one plex to get a second training slot available for 1 month.

Edit: To clarify, the idea is ofc not to have to pay double/tripple for the account indefinitly, but only for whatever number of months you want to have multiple traning available.

No. You want alts, do it the normal way.

It seems like a bad idea because its less value than just geting more acounts. Why pay X3 for 3 char, one you can pay for 3 and have 9?

I wanted to paint my space ship red, but I couldn't find enough goats.

also, regardless as to the amount of toons on the one account that can train, you'll only ever be able to play with one at a time. having multiple accounts is WAY easier and more usefull than one account with multiple toons.. and if your paying the same for it, why bother with just being able to play one toon at a time...

It would be like a premium service. You pay to be able to train multiple characters and you can save money/Isk on character transfer fees.

And if it would be cheaper to train multiple characters on one account than training 3x 3 accounts, the market value of a character would go down.

I already have 3 accounts active.

I can give you the situation i'm in right now that make me want this feature.

I need a dedicated jump freighter pilot, i don't feel any of the characters i have can be deleted to buy a pilot for that task and i do not want 4 accounts.
I already have a support character that can fly freighter that would be perfect to train for jump freighter, but it's on the same account as my training Nyx pilot. I do not want to halt the Nyx pilot training for 3 months to get the other character into a jump freighter.

i just dont see the point, if your going to be paying for another subscription anyway, you might as well open another account. this is the time where i mention that i have 7 accounts all paid for with subscriptions...

I told you i do not want 4 accounts permanently. So my option right now is to make another account, pay 20 € to transfer the char, train for 3 months, pay another 20 € to transfer it back.

If you mean pretty much industry standard pricing and the option to pay with in-game monies instead, then yes.
