To open more than one instance of the same 'EVE Online.app' (or any Application in OS X), you need to use the 'open -n' command in Terminal.

The easiest way to do this is:

  • Open a Terminal window.
  • Type 'open -n ' into the Terminal window, omitting the quotes and including the trailing space.
  • Drag and drop the "EVE Online" application onto the Terminal window. (This is equivalent to typing in the complete path of the "EVE Online.app" bundle.)
  • Press enter to launch another copy of the game.

To save time, you can save the complete command (including the path to the application) as an alias in Bash, or set up an Automator action to run said command with just a click.

I do not have a mac, so I have no idea if there is a special reason for being unable to run multiple clients at the same time, but the Singularity evelopedia page tells you how to have two installation locations. Modifying these steps should enable you to run two identical installations of Eve for the live server, Tranquility (Just follow the steps, but do not run steps 6, 7 and 8, I would guess).

You can not run two pilots from the same account at the same time, that is just impossible. And you can not run more than one account if that account is a trial account. Otherwise, I can not think of a reason why you can not run multiple clients at the same time.
