EVE Online News - The EVE Online blog has been updated with a forward look at Clone States, a recently introduced feature that allows players to try out the game at their own pace for free. Since launch during Ascension, Clone States have been popular and have helped increase day-to-day activity in the game. However, there are some significant ways that the team hopes to improve them even more.

Nothing to do with "New player experience" at all its all the about pandering to the same small noisy element.
That and the blatant online numbers stacking, would love to see actual numbers relating to actual players, I have 3 accounts and in my Corp I'm the under player, most have 6 or 7.
They need to TRUELY get some new players and stop hoping that existing players will take on another 3 or 4 accounts, but hey its not like anyone has accused CCP of being short sighted, because everything they touch just sprouts wings and takes off with huge success.........(Insert sarcastic retort here).
EDIT...I have 3 paid accounts and a freebie so yes I am being a tad ironic in my rant, but by George a line has to be drawn somewhere.

And even then, 2 left you wanting. You could do it, ......barely
What does Funcom do? They go balls to the wall with catering to the players who already held the choke hold on the game's economy.
It's probably the largest reason I never picked up and tried EVE. I'm not biting into any game where multiple accounts are the name of the game.
+60% of players have only 1 account...

NEED MOAR ACCOUNTS!!
I'd also like to see how that chart looks if we filter only for current active accounts.......in 2017
I'm sorry but 2 year old data that can't even give a break down if what we are looking at is questionable.
Those percentages mean nothing if that chart includes every account ever made for the game including trials and inactives.
As to increasing the Omega ships, they are still just tech 1 ships. I might have 4 or 5 of them, the vast majority of my ships are tech II and above.
6 here in fact, but I haven't undocked since last Dec.
Alpha clones were definitely too restrictive to consider returning to "dink" around, these changes might convince me to.
If I start having fun again I could easily be persuaded to return on 3 to 4 accounts.
Not a terrible move IMO.

Alpha accounts were way to restrictive in a competitive environment like EvE
I've been running 4 highsec bot miner accounts for 6 years now, never once banned.
CCP doesn't care, they get my sub money so thier happy to look the other way.
Did you really expect more from the average EVE Online player? They're the kind of people who make a mess in public restrooms because they think it's funny some poor kid earning minimum wage has to clean it up.
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!

That awkward moment you don't realize you are the reason the new players never stay around....With your billions, your never ending high sec griefing because money doesnt matter, and your non stop forum hounding to call everyone carebears and dictate how they must be victims to your pvp desires.
No new players? no shit people get tired of being griefed and butt humped by stupid gameplay mechanics the dev's are scared to fix up because "ITS A PVP GAME". Hey look another pack of a holes abusing alts and the stupid high sec "concord system" as 9 other like minded pee brains load up alt suicide cruisers to high sec gank people and steal their billions, such clever gameplay abuse wait your favorite game shut down from lack of customers now you are the real loser.
Instead nut up go fight people looking to fight back and engage in real pvp. Oh and if its not suicide ganking, its gate camping blah blah blah whatever shortcut you can abuse to avoid actually risking and engaging in real pvp.
This is why eve with all its amazing aspects will never the less eat dirt sooner than later, instead of protecting and encouraging real pvp they allow internet bullies to grief and drive off half the playerbase.
Bingo. High sec should be high sec with 100% zero ways to pvp others, you have endless low and null sec for endless PVP, not all players want to pvp, and even worse some simply want some chill gametime without pvp but the retards must suicide gank with their alts.
Then they laugh while driving by all the poor people standing in the unemployment office line.
Yep, evil geniuses, every one.
