CCP has changed the "rules"

Addendum by GM Lelouch:
This post was originally written almost three years ago and as software/hardware evolves, so must our stance on what goes within our game. It has become increasingly difficult for us to track the capabilities of various pieces of software over the years as their number, as well as the features they offer, increase greatly in number.

In other words, it is unfortunately impractical for us to evaluate whether specific pieces of software can be used without breaking EVE's EULA/ToS. This post should not be taken as endorsement for utilizing specific pieces of software/hardware with EVE, but as a guideline to what is acceptable.

Our general stance towards the concept of multiboxing has not changed but we cannot guarantee that the EULA is being upheld should you use any of the software/hardware mentioned by name in this post, nor will we at EVE customer support be able to officially endorse or sanction specific third party multiboxing programs.

Players wishing to multibox are responsible for familiarizing themselves with our EULA and Terms of Service, the following clauses in particular are of much relevance to this topic:

EULA:
6. CONDUCT
A. Specifically Restricted Conduct
2. You may not use your own or third-party software to modify any content appearing within the Game environment or change how the Game is played.
3. You may not use your own or any third-party software, macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play. You may not rewrite or modify the user interface or otherwise manipulate data in any way to acquire items, currency, objects, character attributes or beneficial actions not actually acquired or achieved in the Game.

ToS:
21. You will not attempt to decipher, hack into or interfere with any transmissions to or from the EVE Online servers, nor will you try to create or use any third party add-ons, extras or tools for the game.

The old, out of date, post can be seen below as it originally appeared:

"stickied thread"

While it is clear that 6.A.2 does not apply to ISBoxer, A.3 concerns me a lot: ISBoxer simulates fullscreen environment while allowing to toggle them like windowed games. This might be considered an interface-modification.
Unfortunately ISBoxer has come to CCP's because of ****** (which uses Lavish softw.), thus revoking their statement and giving GMs a green card to ban people who happen to run lavish software in the background.

[lax]

Umm, no. CCP is banning for bots and hacks, not multiboxing. Their policy is pretty much the same as with other games. ISBoxer was never "officially allowed", it's just not prohibited.

By the way, multiboxing in World of Warcraft with Inner Space actually took off after Blizzard banned the (relatively few, by the way) botters that happened to use Inner Space. I would assume CCP will be much happier with more legitimate multiboxers and less hackers as well.

You can run Eve in windowed mode, stack them on your main screen and tab between them - don't see that as an issue.
