also this would literally cost like 300b for skillbooks and ships but worth it

I can take a vidoe of the Jita undock and type whatever I want on the video...and I guess we will all just have to believe that all of Jita is just me controlling 450+ accounts.

Heh. All true. Still an impressive freight train of barges.

Thanks. I am working on getting my guys ready for another one.. I want to do 140 Battleships.. Not sure if I want to do all the same or some of everyone..


Aren't battleships slightly harder to control effectively than Mackinaws? Are you planning on using some software like ISBoxer?


Well I do not plan on using them to fight. But Just to make a video.. ALlot you can do with fleet comands. Just looking for something cool to do.. Also if you have any drone boat and launch drones and assign them to 1 guys. Well that is allot of drones going at one target.


You could make them all passive shield tanked so you do not need to turn on the tank. Then go to a mission, have them all deploy drones. Dont bother to target, the drones will swarm kill anything that attacks.

Becouse I want to see how far I can push it. Just how many accounts can I get to run on 1 computer and on my 6mb/1mb DSL connection and still be able to watch netflix.
Good job CCP.



Your computing power to run clients is pretty well guaranteed to be the bottleneck. EVE uses about 6kb/s, so you could probably run the bandwidth of several hundred clients through your connection.

Approx. 6 KB/s. EVe is fairly tolerant of latency given the 1 Hz update.

Pity.

All that effort, and the only thing he can think to do with it is to further depress ice prices.


I won't stop him though, lower prices at the pump and all that.

U sad? ... See it this way, he is doing it for all of us and he shows what it looks like so nobody else needs to try it. Because of him do we know that it is doable. And about your depressed prices. I do not know if you should just get some anti-depressants for them or only change the way you look at them, because prices are not a living thing. All he does is to fill the demand of other players for ice, and because of him do 100 other players not have to go mining. Think about it! Lol

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

I'm not sad. I operate cap ships, so low fuel prices are great for me. I also deal in isotopes, so more volume for the same isk is great too.


It's cool that dude can actually manage to log in and fly some 100 characters. But parking them all in an ice belt is the lamest thing one could really do with them.

After you pay for the accounts, what other fun things do you do with the isk?

Do you run any large operations that generate even more isk? Or is it just ice mining all the time?

Surely you must be funding something fun, otherwise what's the point?

Man more power to you.

I thought I was nuts when I had 10 accounts, and 5 of those were just for training characters to sell.

I mult-box 4 and my head starts spinning...

True, but it might be the only thing that is doable with 100 ships sustainably. What else could one do with 100 characters? We already had gatecamps and slowcat fleets. And I bet this would get some pretty mad about it and more than ice mining does. The more I think about ice mining the more I think he is a hero...

You forgot to add how much RL money you are making with those accounts. I am sure inquiring minds want to know.

Geez, in 45min this morning I had made 250mil already


Hate to burst your bubble but after he logs them he should be able to pull over 800 mil per hour. Everyday. All day. Good luck keeping pace with that with your 250 million.


And?

Over 100 accounts that works out to 80 mil an hour.

and to plex those 100 accounts. He needs 56 billion a month. (figuring on 560mil per plex)

I on the other hand did it with 3 active accounts. And only 2 running the sites, so that gives me 125mil per toon.

And I only need 1.7 bil a month to plex my 3 toons.

So it takes him about say 70 hours of running those 100 accounts to break even (pay his plex). I doublt I even put 70 hours into this game total a month.

It takes me about 7 hours to break even (pay my 3 plex)

And even largely AFK ice mining, he still has to unload 100 ore holds every ??? (have no idea how long it takes to fill one up) which still has to be work.

Heck logging in the accounts is 45 minutes of actual work even before he can start doing anything.

Consider my bubble just fine thanks.

Why would it not be allowed. Look at what CCP makes. Plex's are not seeded in the game someone had to pay real money for them. So CCP makes about $20,000 a year off me alone. Why would they not allow that?
Thats exactly why PLEXs are so expensive... one dude with a 100 accounts PLEXing them all.

I'm not faulting him for doing it but its hard to try to compete ageist a supper blob"S" like that. I might consider doing it myself but DAMN!!!
