I was wondering why in the eve universe would someone play with 120 accounts? Theres one guy in Agal & Hadji who likes to brag about all this accounts. He posts pictures of his setup all the time in local. Seven or eight computers all being controlled by ISboxer. He has about 50 macks for ice mining, 30ish or other exhumers for mining regular ore, a small fleet for nagas(10-15) for security, and the rest seem to be miscellaneous.

Now I've heard of people with 10 chars, even 20 and thinking "wow" thats crazy. But 120 accounts? Why in the world would someone run so many???

Lack of proper equipment for other activities.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

Ask him, if you really want to know. Most of us don't do it or see any point in doing it, so that is what our replies will reflect.

Most likely reason?

Because he can.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Why do people smoke?
Why do people gamble their house payment away?
Why do people play 120 EVE Accounts?

Addiction. It's a strange beast.

Because it's better than 119 accounts?

I actually talked with him and he said that he didn't pay anything for those accounts.

He said that apparently goonswarm are giving away free accounts for ice mining.


I honestly think its a huge scam, but you never know.

It could be a huge conspiracy where goonswarm is taking all the ice to limit the amount of POSes.

if you think about it its actually a smart idea to have that many chars, when he wants to sell them he's gonna have **** tons of isk. he prolly already does now anyways,

my guess with that many chars he prolly supports a srp program for an alliance, by building replacement ships. and pos fuels or titan bridge fuels.

on the other hand, i flew with a guy back in the day who had, 24 accounts, in nullsec,. 22 being mackinaw pilots 2 being rorqual pilots, purpose of this was so he could ice mine a billion isk an hour. and to support his alliance

if i was retired id prolly do the same thing,

just imagine if this guy decided to put 15 of those pilots into triage carriers, 15 of those pilots into dreads, 30 into super carriers, 20 into titans, 40 into subcapitals. youd have your own little badass capital fleet with support, which would be impossible to run but hey, be still pretty cool.

theres over a 100 reasons why someone would want that many chars.

that many miners, yey be kinda stupid to pay for their time with rl money cause getting plexes is easier he prolly makes 1 month of game time for each of his chars in under 8 hours.

and if he is working for goons, link his name. so the gankers with their dessys can go suicide gank him lol.

well i dont think im allowed to link people themselves. i can say however, in the US prime time(in Agal system) you will often find a group of mackinaws clustered(50 or so) together like a school of fish for half hour before they all mine out the ice. would make for an interesting smart bombing battleship gone wild video on youtube.

I hate cheaters, then again it's idiots like them who buy plex that enables me to play FREE at their expense.

He is the reason why programs like ISboxer should be banned. Found is ludicrous the first time I came across him. Back then he only had 80ish. No way he could manage all those miners without ISboxer. ISboxer does provide an unfair advantage but CCP will not admit it.

I try to be nice and mind my business just shooting lasers at rocks. There is just way too many asshats in New Eden for that to happen.

I can imagine CCP's take on this, should he go, or you? we know the right answer to that one don't we.

In that kind of financial picture, YOU are insignifigant and unimportant as revenue.

Greed is good? Shocked

This is not uncommon for miners, I've seen 0.0 miners with 100's of accounts.

Even the bitterest combat vet isn't likely to have more than 15-20.

Shows that mining is so low yield, you have to run that many to get rich...Lol

Last I checked, it was 145 accounts and not 120. It's best to leave the guy alone, it's old, old news. It's definitely not a goon, and I'll leave it at that.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.
