Originally by: Surfin's PlunderBunny I've only seen the box set in stores, never game-time cards
Love to see that happen.
Then again, I have a allot more restraint when buying with a CC online than in RL...
That makes one of us, I use prescription sleep meds that make me a little weird () so I woke up one day and I had BF BC2 and the Vietnam expansion
Not the first time I woke up and found I bought things I have no memory of getting

Correct, you can only buy PLEX on the EVE Online website (for cash) or the in-game market (for ISK). As for Oen Saissore's questions, I think it's better if one of the GMs answers them, so please stay tuned for a bit.

You should clarify that PLEXes are only available for cash from CCP, but GTCs are also available from 3rt party resellers (and each GTC becomes 2 PLEXes ingame). -- And then there's of course the thing with it getting FPS even slower than the character creator, heating up video cards, taking a noticeable time to fully load ... |

This is absolutely correct. My bad for not stating it in the previous post.

Edited by: GM Lelouch on 01/06/2011 08:48:46 Hello all,
Before I get to answering the questions themselves, I'd like to state that it is absolutely correct (as some players pointed out before me) that doing business with ISK sellers risks jeopardizing your computer's safety, as well as your credit card information if that is the chosen payment method. We know from experience that a sizable portion of hacked accounts were compromised as a result of ISK buying.
We highly recommend that you perform a thorough virus/trojan scan of your computer if you've recently visited an ISK selling page.

1) For those who buy ISK from a 3rd party site, what are the consequences?
2) For those who have friends who give them ISK and other things and then out of their own generosity pay them for it, is that illegal?
1) Players who are discovered to have purchased ISK will have said ISK removed from their wallet. This is not so much of a problem if the ISK has not been spent yet, but if the wallet does not have enough ISK to cover the amount that is removed then it will be put into the negatives. This in turn makes it impossible to perform certain functions in the game, such as using the market or accepting missions which require a collateral and so on.
In addition to this, a "warning" (which acts as a sort of permanent mark on the account) is placed on the account; repeated violations can result in temporary or even permanent account suspensions.
2) This is not allowed either.
Originally by: Oen Saissore And as far as the plex buying from 3rd party sites. Who are the ones that are legal? Or are there no legal sites to purchase plexs from other than Eve online?
There are no legitimate 3rd party sites which sell PLEX; many of the PLEXes sold on these pages are actually funded through account hacking or credit card fraud. Caveat emptor applies; if the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. On the other hand, ETCs can be purchased from third party vendors and then converted into PLEXes. A list of all legitimate ETC vendors can be found here:

Originally by: Oen Saissore I agree with Anne on this.
So basically what I would be doing. Is paying $20 per character that somebody gave the account to use, which in this case would be well near $180 to get all the characters. And then on top of that, pay monthly?
Now that, just doesnt make sense. Nor seem fair to me as I am broke and the main reason I started playing this game was because I heard that I could buy the plexes if I got enough ISK.
*(COULD AN ADMIN PLEASE SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT)*
Accountability is the key word here. Imagine this scenario:
Your friend, an EVE veteran of four years, leaves EVE and entrusts you with both of his accounts. He does not expect that he will want to return to EVE again so you have a mutual understanding that the accounts are now yours.
*Two years pass*
Your friend, having read a news story on a gaming site about the largest in-game heist yet decides that he wants to return to the game. He hasn't spoken to you for two years since you fell out of touch when he left. You've invested two years of your time building up the characters so you don't want to return the accounts to him. His answer is to contact us at CCP and claim that the accounts were stolen from him two years ago but that they are his.
Who is the rightful owner of the accounts? It's a really big mess don't you think? The above is a very common scenario; we get many petitions about scenarios like this every day. Sometimes it even involves account sharing family members who've had a falling out which complicates matters even further.
The character transfer system leaves a paper trail on our forums when characters are sold which helps but even then, account ownership dispute cases (less common for transferred characters, but they still exist) still eat up a considerable amount of expensive man-hours which is why we charge for character transfers.

Edited by: Xenuria on 07/06/2011 00:48:55 Here is what confuses me...
Buying isk illegally costs MORE then buying it legitimatly...
Buy isk the legit way involves spending 14 $ on plex and then selling the plex on the market for about 300million isk.
Isk selling sights often ask for WAY more money for isk then you would ever dream of paying CCP.
So I am deeply confused as to why people actually bother buying isk illegally when it 99.9% of the time costs more then just buying a plex and selling it for isk. Your signature is too large. Maximum permitted signature size is 24,000 bytes. Spitfire Vote Support For Great Justice |

I use shattered crystal also, costs just over ú21 (with the current exchange rate) for a 60 day time code, i usually convert them to plex to sell on the market. They are fast and reliable.

Don't know where you get your information from but the advertisements I saw (yes it's in the newb channel and also on every google ad sponsored webby, even eveboard) you get a 5 to 7 fold of what you get from selling PLEX.
And no I don't buy ISK from 3rd parties, I'm a no lifer who grinds her own ISK.
