Hello,

According to this link, I can create a *new* account and then create an user/pass for non-steam client usage.

It means I can continue to buy subscription each month through steam and still play with the default eve client/launcher?

If that is correct is there any chance to "sync" my current account in this model?

thank you

No, according to that link, you log in through Steam, and then you create another username+password combination that will let you log into your Steam account without Steam. In case the Steam servers are down but the EVE servers are up. So you're not creating a NEW account, you're just creating an alternate password for your account.

So, yes, you can pay your subscription through Steam, but otherwise log in with the EVE launcher, using this alternate username+password. It's already sync'ed.

Well I said new account because my current account is not steam. So, in that case, it IS a new account, right?

you can make multiple accounts and save them all in the launcher and as long as all of them are omega, you can also launch them all.

you can even have 1 email for multiple EvE accounts.

btw, why do you pay through steam if your account is non-steam? as i check (im not in the US), steam is more expensive. o.O
