Hi all, I've been asked to ask this by a friend who's accounts are inactive since he lost the love for the game a few months ago, and since his accounts are inactive he can't post on the forum.
After a couple of pints down the pub I was saying that I'd started playing, and it sparked his interest again.
The issue he's got is he used to have lots of accounts and characters spread out, but now he wants to save money and only activate 2.
Unfortunately he parked all his stuff on 1 char and wasn't intending on activating that one when he thought about it. He also wants to move one of the chars from 1 account to another, he knows there's a fee which he's fine with.
Can he utilise the "Hours for Plex" to activate the account to transfer stuff to another, and also can it be used for activating an account to transfer a character from.
Or is this seen as abuse and gets mucky looks from the GM's et al ?

Yeah I'll see if he can put a petition in (not sure if he can from an inactive account) I'll give him a call and tell him.

Yeah, create a petition ticket for an official response on it.
I believe that they want he hours-for-plex to be used for applying a PLEX to the account, and what typically happens is: those who "abuse" it and use the 3 hours to do other stuff, will basically forever disable the hours-for-plex feature for the future. They don't ban you or anything, but next time you want to apply a plex to the account, you have to activate it the hard way (with a credit card, for a full month) to apply the plex (plex gives you a second month).
As advised in another thread, use the API feature, in conjunction with evemon or www.eveboard.com (use a password to keep the info private), to verify how much ISK is available, what's in the account, and all that stuff, before activating. |

I spoke to him and he's put a petition in, he's not got a problem in activating the accounts to move assets and character if he has to, just seemed a bit of a waste of cash :)

Or just open a new account, just one account, play differently than he did last time when he just quit. You mostly burn out when you try to make EVE a second job as it sounds like he did (so many various accounts). Play just for fun? *shrugs*
I'm in it for the money

I get that, it's why he wants to swap things about, just have 2 accounts running, he fancies PVP but needs a way of financing it, so he's thinking of Mission Running, and moving a character he's had for ages but not used much into PVP but that's on an account he wasn't going to activate.
He did burn out, real life got in the way of the game so he can't justify having so many accounts running, which is why he's just wanting 2, that way if he doesn't get time to play much he's not throwing too much money away.
He's offered to help me out, but I'd rather do it myself, more of an accomplishment |

Using the "Hours for Plex" service for anything other than buying and applying PLEX is definitely seen as abuse of the service. For info on the service see here: https://ccpcommunity.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203531472-Hours-for-PLEX
I suggest creating a support petition and speaking with a GM directly about his options for getting back into the game and would advise against using the hours for PLEX for anything other than its intended purpose. Even with his accounts deactivated he won't have a problem creating customer support petitions.
