1. I'm currently running 5xWoW clients on a single machine, what's the group size in Eve?
2. Could I run 5 clients and get away with it? Would I need to?
3. Could a single party ofr 5 be effective is a mining group, while also being able to defend themselves from rats?
4. just how easy is it to box, do you use Keyclone or something like it, or is it a case of alt-tabbing windows?
5. Kinda greedy question. I know you can eventually use Isk to pay for your game time, would it be possible to have a mining group pay for itself and then still make insane amounts of Isk, just from mining?
1. There's no real group size -you make fleets. I I'm not sure what the fleet cap is, but you couldn't afford to box it!
2. I believe you could - I run 5 wow's on 1 machine, and ran 3 Eves at the same time with no issue - as far as would you want to? Not sure. I could see running 3-4...
3. Yes. The catch here is rats won't be your issue. Other players will be your issue.
4. The (lack of) keyboard bindings in eve make using something like Keyclone a null point - you could, but I don't see where you'd get any benefit. There are no macros, it's almost 100% mouse based. If you want to get somewhere - right click on it, set waypoint/destination. If yiou want to go to something in the same system youre in, right click, warp to 0km/5/10/20/etc. There's also no assist that I'm aware of.
5. I'm sure you could if you worked on it, get in a corp that has a decided presence in 0.0 space and you could rake in the cash - personally I never payed for the game with ISK, I enjoyed running missions - good cash there if you learn the market. Just stay the fuck away from Jita.

*disclaimer* ^^ that's my 2 cents,
