thatbloke Gallente	Posted - 2010.06.27 17:22:00 - [1] You read that right... been thinking of getting an alt? Now's the time :D The funny thing about this sentence is that by the time you've finished reading it, it's too late for you to realise it doesn't say anything.
Messoroz	Posted - 2010.06.27 17:27:00 - [2] Edited by: Messoroz on 27/06/2010 17:29:06 Heh, $1.99 only for new accounts http://store.steampowered.com/app/8500
Stick Cult Unspoken Autonomy.	Posted - 2010.06.27 17:30:00 - [3] Edited by: Stick Cult on 27/06/2010 17:30:48 Well I better get it.. one thing I've been wondering is I run two accounts on the same computer, just launching 2 of the same program. 1) Can you launch the steam version more than once, to log in more than one account at the same time? 2) Do the preferences from the eve install I have now go into the steam one, or can I move them? edit: And if I can't use the 30 days it comes with on my accounts, can I convert it to a plex like I did with the boxed version? Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.

The 30 days only works on trial accoounts going full or new ones last I remember. Pretty sure you can't make it a plex.
JitaBum Gallente Center for Advanced Studies	Posted - 2010.06.27 17:37:00 - [5] So there are no downsides to using Steams Eve? Seems worth a buy for the convenience of having everything on Steam

Seems worth a buy for the convenience of having everything on Steam None that I know of, you can create a manual shortcut to the eve install to bypass steam as it doesn't require steam auth to launch. Otherwise you have to launch steam to launch eve. Bonus however, it uses steam's download manager and servers so when a major update comes, you beat the website downloaders :P

Seems worth a buy for the convenience of having everything on Steam Since you are actually buying an account and not the client you can buy it on steam then download the regular client and enter your login info there. Originally by: Balsak Eve-Online, the game that is so awesome people are willing to give CCP money so that they may have the privilege to bash it.
Stick Cult Unspoken Autonomy.	Posted - 2010.06.27 17:44:00 - [8] Just bought it! Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.
Julienne Poirier	Posted - 2010.06.27 17:54:00 - [9] Edited by: Julienne Poirier on 27/06/2010 17:54:24 i have a steam character but have never used the steam eve client
Lance Fighter Amarr	Posted - 2010.06.27 18:03:00 - [10] Originally by: Messoroz None that I know of, you can create a manual shortcut to the eve install to bypass steam as it doesn't require steam auth to launch. Otherwise you have to launch steam to launch eve. this is a minor myth - only games that explicitly require steams drm require steam to be running. For instance, I can run games like AI war (which has no real drm sans basic key check) with steam being off. while i dont know how eve works in this case, I am going to assume it is similar, as there is no reason for steam to secure a game like eve.. Originally by: CCP Shadow Have you ever wished you could have prevented a train wreck before it actually happened? I need to stop this one before the craziness begins.
Dullais Norfrit Minmatar RPS holdings	Posted - 2010.06.27 18:06:00 - [11] So... is it possible to upgrade trial with this and get free 30 days for my main account?
Brolly Caldari Icarus' Wings	Posted - 2010.06.27 18:06:00 - [12] Yet another awesome steam bargain, only ú1.49. Already bought left 4 dead 2 and alien vs predator 2000, this is really going to cut into my beer money (yes, I'm really that poor )

Dullais Norfrit Minmatar RPS holdings	Posted - 2010.06.27 18:27:00 - [14] Then I'm buying all three I can

Also would like to know, any linkage? Go to your account management, buddy stuff on right side and create a new trial account. That's what I did but here's a problem now - I think you need seperate steam account for each of those trial ones, at least for activation. That's because you can buy a game only once for each account and then you just send it as a gift. I guess when you make account through steam gift link you'll be able to get a key.
Telvani	Posted - 2010.06.27 18:43:00 - [19] Edited by: Telvani on 27/06/2010 18:44:13 Thanks, really hope this works, 30days for each of my accounts and 2 free noob alts for hulkageddon all for ú4? win-win-win. Just make another free steam account yeah? cant be a problem can even use the same card no? EDIT: Just read the terms and conditions, I can do this 3 times for each my accounts? wow.
Bantros RPS holdings	Posted - 2010.06.27 18:46:00 - [20] Edited by: Bantros on 27/06/2010 18:46:17 ^ You didn't read them well enough :) Eligible subscription activations can be funded by Credit/Debit cards, Direct Debit, WebMoney, paysafecard, ETC, PLEX and PayPal.

Doesn't look like it will work Yup just saw that, it was too good to be true, in other news the 5 min timer is a pain, I might still get some cheap 30day alts.
thatbloke Gallente	Posted - 2010.06.27 18:52:00 - [23] I have updated the first post with the info you need to get the 51-day alt and 30 extra days on your main account. IT WORKS. The funny thing about this sentence is that by the time you've finished reading it, it's too late for you to realise it doesn't say anything.

IT WORKS. Great, now CCP will fix it, this is why we can't have nice things, when you freaking promote exploiting the system. In other news, time to buy some hulkageddon alts :)
Dullais Norfrit Minmatar RPS holdings	Posted - 2010.06.27 18:57:00 - [25] Holy ****, yes, it worked. Will do two other accounts if this isn't disabled by tomorrow

In other news, time to buy some hulkageddon alts :) IIRC the same/similar offer happened during the mental Steam sale over the Xmas period and it wasn't blocked then either. THIS IS ALL PERFECTLY ALLOWED and I would even say ENCOURAGED by CCP. The funny thing about this sentence is that by the time you've finished reading it, it's too late for you to realise it doesn't say anything.
TheSardin	Posted - 2010.06.27 19:18:00 - [27] offcourse its allowed... when you make an extra account you find out its really usefull and you will keep on using it wich makes more moneys for ccp in the end
Bantros RPS holdings	Posted - 2010.06.27 19:19:00 - [28] Good effort thatbloke
Telvani	Posted - 2010.06.27 19:23:00 - [29] Wow Good show there, any word on from CCP on this I think they need to update the info on the buddy program page if this is now valid and if so encouraged.
TooNu Caldari Costolle Military Assistance Corporation	Posted - 2010.06.27 19:34:00 - [30] Dear god why, why do I NEED 3 accounts? It was so cheap, I just had to :( my life, my life is even more consumed by this monster :( That being said, nice one thatbloke :) --------------------------------------- http://toonu.wordpress.com/
