2X stackable account boosters should be added to the subscription model

[Snow]

Given NQ has fully designed this game around alts and making you feel the need for alt accounts, between schematics, calibration limit static core limit length of time it takes to max skills. Additionally given they annoyingly fully support alt accounting. I believe you should alleviate and add boosters for subscribers at a lower cost. we shouldnt have to pay such a high price for a second or 3rd account. with it feeling like a necessity for more then 1 

boosters should be equivalent to 2 account capability minus obviously being able to play with 2 char directly. then when you stop boosting you get to choose what cores to keep active the rest go inactive/delete after a 90 day period. cant change/switch around what you keep active. the things that go inactive due to booster not being paid stay inactive till reboosted

Nice post, now just take in mind that in the past it was told that you would get 3 chars per account. Dont ask where that info is as in general "some" info is lost or deleted along the way, was in JC times

In the past, in most MMO type games that i've played there was a distinct difference between having multiple characters, and multiple accounts.

 

The intent was really to allow people to play different types of characters and roles in the game.  Not to hand out power or wealth.

 

So, you might be able to have several characters, but they were all on the same account.  And most of the benefits that are attached to your account, were still limited by the fact that you had only one account.  And you could still only play one character at a time.

 

There really wasn't a huge advantage to having multiple characters, other than simply having the option to play a different class/roll.  The real advantage was only if you were able to play multiple characters at the same time, which required multiple accounts.

 

I think when NQ mentioned the idea of multiple characters per account, it was in the context of talking about other games, before they really understood how this game was going to work.  So i wouldn't be surprised if they had to reconsider.

 

It wouldn't make sense to suddenly hand out 3x all the benefits of an account to everyone in the game.  And there really isn't any reason to do it otherwise.

 

If you want to try out training some piloting talents, you can just do that on your main character.  There's no need for an ALT for that.
