CCP encourages players to master their own destiny, double box

Never let it be said that CCP doesn't support their hardcore players. They've announced a program for EVE Online dubbed "The Power of Two" that will give existing players the ability to subscribe to a second account at a reduced price for six months. Players have to act quickly however, as the deal expires by the end of the week."Be the captain of your very own fleet and master of your own destiny! Current EVE Online subscribers may purchase a second account and get the first six months for a reduced price. Log in and follow the link to take advantage of this special, but hurry! This offer ends November 4th."
For most MMOs, this sort of scheme would be useless to players, as you could just roll a new character on your existing account if you were really keen on having another avatar in-game. With EVE's passive skill leveling system, not to mention the ways players can make money through corps, having two accounts and/or double-boxing it can actually yield significant results. At least, if you have that kind of time.

You can actually have more than one character on an EVE account. But yeah, for a game that prides itself on PvP, outright asking players to multibox is a little weird.

They do this every year. Most of the hardcore Eve players have more then one account this makes it a little easier to afford. And you can run 2 instances or as many as you would like on one box. I know people with 8 + accounts.
