no,
sorry,
you'll have to go and find a friendly neighbourhood pc user...

this, unfortunately for you.

go to your corp/alliance vocal channel / forums, ask for some trusted friend to log on your account for you.
only solution for now.
pretty sure they said not long ago they will add it to evegate someday, but well it's soon(c) so...

Do not do that, account sharing is not allowed can get your account banned.

I suggest a friend or cyber cafe as your best options. Also recommend a long skill just in case shipping takes forever.

---

You might want to re-word that a bit. Such as, a Friend's house/internet

can someone explain me how it's not the same thing ? >_<

Nope, because it isn't. From CCPs point of view, if they looked, they would see at as account sharing if their friend happened to also play EVE.

Going to a friends house and logging into your account is just fine. Ever have a LAN party?

Having your friend log into your account is not OK.

---

As I said Zymmy, reword it to state what you meant better. Right now it seems you're recommending having a friend log in for you.

Thanks, CCP Zymurgist, that's good info to know.

The crisis might be averted....I just got my lil' bro to agree to 'trade' his PC for my xbox 360 until I get a new one LOL.

I can sacrifice a month of mortal kombat and halo for Eve I think.

all in all, I blame CCP for making such an addicting game.

And the distinction would be more than purely academical HOW exactly ?

The only way for you guys to be relatively certain of the distinction MIGHT be that a series of logins in quick succession took place from IPs geolocation claims are too far apart to normally make it possible for a human to travel between them.
But even then, you have geolocation failures and also this newfangled thing called remote desktop access, so you're not completely certain.

So really, other than somebody being stupid enough to openly admit to doing it, he'd have a perfectly acceptable way of claiming he's withing the guidelines you just presented.
Then again, you guys don't really need a reason for any sort of measures, the EULA states you can punish people whenever and however you see fit, and at most you're liable for what, one month's sub ?
Why even bother finding some official-sounding reason ?


Let's stop pretending THAT particular rule is anything more than a "CCP covering its ass in case something fishy happens" addition to help make account/asset disputes easily solvable from CCP's standpoint, while providing a semblance of being somewhat official (again, why bother).
Translated in common English, that rule should actually say "if you were stupid enough to give somebody you didn't fully trust your login info, shut up and go away, since you're not getting any of your stuff back".

While you're at it, you might as well be adding "babysitting" functionality to the game (i.e. assign a "babysitter" character for a characters of yours, so the owner of the "babysitting" character can play your character as if it were theirs, selectable from the REGULAR login screen on THEIR account, the one the "babysitting" character belongs to).

i would love it if CCP came out with an APP for Android/Iphone marketplaces that would allow you to set your skill/skill queue from anywhere. that would rule.

Why make it an app for smartphones when they're already planning to introduce skill queue management into EVE Gate (Real Soon Now™)?

---

CCP have the slowest devs on this earth... they had some interns working on developing a tool to change skill queue years ago, but then, well the interns left and CCP realized the interns were so much smarter and they couldnt figure out the coding... I believe those interns now work for Geico.

it took CCP 5 years to develop walking in stations... strike that walking in a room that does nothing you cant do now except in a fancy graphical way.... so imagine how long it would take them to implement this... soon(tm) more like never(tm).... to CCP they mean the same thing.

Exactly what is the objection to having a friend log-in to your account and change a skill on your behalf? And how exactly do you enforce this when you're unable to determine who's at the keyboard?

Personally I keep my account details to myself, but if I were in the OP's position and had a trusted RL friend who plays EVE then I'd be tempted. Its not exactly a crime is it, and what's the punishment anyway? A sternly worded warning, or a short ban perhaps? My God its serious business this internet spaceship stuff, isn't it.
