Ok, we all know people who have more than one account. In some cases we do it ourselves.
I feel CCP would not complain.

Rather than two separate accounts, why don't we have the option for one mega account?

Double the char slots, and have two training ques available.
In theory, this could be extended to as many as practical by coding means on the servers. I know of one guy with around 8 accounts.

The idea, and benefit, would be that rather than one training queue for three slots, you could have 2 for 6 slots.
Rather than have two characters you want trained on one account, use the second queue for the second character.

Still same price for the second account, CCP deserves their money.

To be fair, the account should allow two active characters at the same time. This is to make buying a second account more attractive.

they're working on it.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

This, I think they're calling it CCP Master accounts or something.

Awesome, I hope they allow people to combine existing accounts.

Have you heard many details on this?

I think the entire idea was a unified login for the forums/account management site. There were just a few snippets in the CCP-CSM minutes.

I tried finding what you described, all I got was that reference to cross game accounts being brought under a master account.

Could not find any details on combining accounts within EVE specifically.

Can you link anything that mentions it?

I heard visious rumors that the 'master account system' was going to link everyone's accounts. I don't know wether or not this will be true, but I don't want to take any chances.
