I've been playing with one account, one main for the past four years or so. I do have to rely on others for things like lighting cynos during major moves, but that's not really a bad thing, since it creates a reason to work together. |

I have about 90 million SP, 2 carriers and no alts. I use friends when i want to move around. it can be a little bit frustrating but it usually works out in the end. I do have one other character on this account, he sits in jita, cheeks prices and buys stuff. |

I played for about six months with one character/account then made a second account after watching an old Rooks and Kings video. At the time my main had been in an indy corp and I had received a lot of bad advise from them leading to a real mess of skill-points on my character; the alt was made to test gold ships and to experiment with things on my own terms while I tried to fix the mess my main was in.
I now have six accounts (which is why I view subscriber figures as misleading in how many real life players they are.) Four are different race for testing hulls, the other two get trained up on the things I like or need; I only really want two accounts at most - one ideally. Hypocritically, I think multi accounting is incredibly bad for EVE in the long term, but that's a topic for a different day. |

1 account, 2 characters. My other character has under 1mil skillpoints, and is honestly not needed in any way. Yay cheap market trading alt!
I have also led the same corporation for close to 3 years, lived in wormhole space, carebeared in highsec, lived in multiple regions of nullsec (armor and shield based), market traded, hardcore mined, explored, pvp-ed in multiple ranges and races of ships big and small, researched, pirated, etc. etc. etc. all on one simple character.
I understand the almost need for multiple accounts or actually skilled account alts, and I know people that use multiples of both very effectively, but I do have a certain sense of pride I suppose from doing so much with just one character. It can be frustrating, it can be slow, but I know for a fact that you can become fairly self reliable with just one character. |

I have 5 accounts and i think 12 useable characters on the accounts.
There is an old bitter-vet in my corp with 1 character at 140mil SP or something. He also only ever flies 1 ship (cloaky proteus) |

Just wondering if anyone plays Eve on just their main with 1 account and no additional alt support? I have one account, and didn't use my other two slots for anything until a couple months ago.
One character I ground up standings to use for locator agents, the other I have two weeks of training for PI, but haven't done any yet. Until recently I've been using the character to buy stuff from Jita. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTzA_xesrL8 |

This game is MMO, if you play with alts, is just like any other single player game with multiple Boxes.
If I would like to play alone and control several characters at the same time, I will play the X series or any other space sim.
I know players who have small fleets on their own, with scouts, DPS, ECM and logis, and they are quite good with them.
But I still don't see the point of that. I prefer to make roams and operations with a corp, isntead of myself with multiple accs. |

The reason for alts is convenience or wanting to do multiple different playstyles at the same time. If you have an alt, you're always guaranteed to have the ability there when you need it. It's not dependent on anything or anyone else and won't inconvenience anyone else. You can also trust it without a doubt, so they provide great benefits you simply can't replicate perfectly with other people.
The way training works also makes using alts very attractive. Either you wait for years to be able to fully specialize in multiple professions or you use additional accounts and progress in them all from the start with characters you've made yourself. If you want to play in many different ways and aren't poor, there really isn't much reason not to use an alt account for this. |

I'm making 3billion isk per week on my main character, so I've gotten to a point where I can afford 2 accounts and just started up my alt earlier this week with the intention of having that character fly a Chimera by end of the year and then move into a Wyvern by end of next summer.
If you have a good isk income every week like me then you can actually afford many accounts. But I only plan on using two as that's all I really need. |

I do understand the reasoning behind it, but it's flawed. Especially for a sandbox MMO.
Unless of course you want to argue that playing games like Starcraft, or any multiplayer game really, against a human opponent, is the same as playing against the AI?
Emergent gameplay doesn't happen when you're alone with AI. Just because someone spends the majority of their time playing solo, doesn't mean they don't value what a gameworld filled with other humans brings to the table. |

Having alts does not prevent someone from interacting and teaming up with other players.
Also there are many kinds of MMOs. For example...MMO-RTS where you have each player controlling multiple units in the game world. To some Eve-Online is an MMO-RTS. |

I have one active account. This is my main and the only character I use in the game. If I need help with something, I just ask other players.
This is a MMORPG, right?

I have an alt account and a couple alts, but I don't use them for support. They're more like temporarily amusing character creations. Actually, this is my only active account atm; my other has been offline since winter. Don't have much use for alts or multi-boxing. zubzubzubzubzubzubzubzub |
