I have 3 characters on an Epic Games account that is giving me fits after switching to Linux. It specifically has to deal with the Epic signin and authentication. I would like to create a brand new account through the Eve Online website process (under the same email account), and I don’t mind paying the $20 fee for all three characters. Just transferring to my own dang self. Do I need to do anything special to make sure this is permitted? I can drop corp and pause skill gains as I’ve seen posted, I just _ **REALLY** _ want to get away from the EGS login loop. ---

Nope, they just follow all the same rukes as any character transfer. Must be in npc corp and account transfered to must be omega. ---

I assume the same would be true for a epic game store login. ---

I have 5 accounts, my main is a Steam account that I indeed used to option to create a web login to avoid this trouble. CCP’s documentation and people on this forum and Reddit all say there is no option for doing this with EGS logins. There is a guide OTF to attempt a workaround of how the Eve launcher calls the EGS login prompt (Pop!\_OS), but I can’t get it to work (skill issue with copy/paste reaction times and hacking authentication code in the webpage calls, literally). I _wish_ it was as easy as the Steam solution! ---
