How has the game going free to play interacted with the multiboxing problem?

Curious. I know multiboxing was a huge problem before the free to play move, and I cant imagine that improving the situation, so wondering what CCP has done (if anything) about multiboxing and what effect it has had on the game.

No real effect, because anything that takes advantage of multiboxing needs more than the skill set that Alpha accounts can provide. I mean, sure, you can have a Venture mining farm, but at 2.5m/hour per account, is the effort worth it? You'd be spending more on electricity due to the hardware load per account.

A few months prior to the free version stuff, CCP banned the use of isboxer (or whatever it's called) and any tool that let one affect multiple accounts with a single keystroke so that reduced the number of multiboxers.

CCP thought of this and you can only log in 1 Alpha account at a time. If you have any omega accounts open then you cannot log in with any Alpha characters

The first thought that came to mind was dual boxing two vni alphas so even with medium drones you could make up the damage with two accounts but nope. CCP totally negated running even one alpha with another alpha or omega account.

You can easily get around that limitation by using VM/sandbox software.

I wouldn't risk it. they might have something that could tip that off.
