~~In EVE Online players can create up to three~~ characters ~~on each [[accounts|account]]. Characters which~~ are not ~~the~~ main character are commonly referred to as "~~Alts~~" ~~(short for "Alternate Characters")~~. There are various reasons a player may want to create more than one character. Sometimes players like to train each of their characters for specialised tasks, to avoid wasting time training everything on one character. Since each character can join a separate [[corporation]] some people create another character to experience a different environment, or to do some tasks in greater safety; ~~For~~ example, ~~since~~ [[EVE University]] is often at [[War_Declaration|war]], we encourage members to create another character to [[haul]] for them, and to visit [[Trade Hubs]] more safely. ~~People~~ may also have more nefarious reasons to create another character, for example to infiltrate and spy on another corporation.

'''Alternate characters''' are secondary characters that are created after a player's initial character, or characters that are not used as frequently as a player's "main" character. Such characters are commonly referred to as "alts". There are various reasons a player may want to create more than one character. Sometimes players like to train each of their characters for specialised tasks, to avoid wasting time training everything on one character. Since each character can join a separate [[corporation]] some people create another character to experience a different environment, or to do some tasks in greater safety; for example, because [[EVE University]] is often at [[War_Declaration|war]], it encourage members to create another character to [[haul]] for them, and to visit [[Trade Hubs|trade hubs]] more safely. Players may also have more nefarious reasons to create another character, for example to infiltrate and spy on another corporation.

Players can freely create up to three characters on each [[accounts|account]], but because only one character per account can be logged in at a time, some players choose to pay for additional, separate accounts in order to use multiple characters simultaneously.
