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
Messoroz	Posted - 2010.06.27 17:39:00 - [6] Edited by: Messoroz on 27/06/2010 17:40:32 Originally by: JitaBum So there are no downsides to using Steams Eve? 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
Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.06.27 17:39:00 - [7] Originally by: JitaBum So there are no downsides to using Steams Eve? 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.

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 )

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/
Stick Cult Unspoken Autonomy.	Posted - 2010.06.27 19:58:00 - [31] Oh god now I have another account... Well, Hulkaggeddon 3, here I come! Originally by: CCP Tuxford my bad. Rest assured I'm being ridiculed by my co-workers.

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.06.27 20:22:00 - [33] Originally by: Traspace Originally by: TooNu 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 :) What could I do with 4? Massive PI production comes to mind. The skills are cheap and quick to train so that would be 12 characters all pulling in materials. Or the more traditional time honored research alt passive income army of doom. Trading becomes hugely profitable with so many alts in haulers to move stock around. And thats just the carebear side of things. A few scout alts seeded around the gates of a nullsec system of your choice as you rat or explore is rather nice not to mention having your own personal cyno chain for the cap fleet is pricless. The possibilities are endless tbh. 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.
Anilusion Caldari	Posted - 2010.06.27 20:37:00 - [34] So I just created 3 accounts that I will have for 51 days. How do I make the most profit out of them in that time? :P
Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.06.27 20:45:00 - [35] Edited by: Zeba on 27/06/2010 20:46:26 Originally by: Anilusion So I just created 3 accounts that I will have for 51 days. How do I make the most profit out of them in that time? :P Go for the trade characters that give you the good trade skills at creation and then train for a mammoth that can use t2 cargo mods and well, trade. After you get going with the trade routes skill up for basic pi and set up at planets along your routes. Pick up the materials as you haul choice goods around the hubs and Profit! Most of it can be done afk as you play with your main so its pretty easy to do and if you do well then maybe enough isk will be left to buy a plex and keep it going so you can set them up as self perpetuating with research alts and such over time.

Belysia	Posted - 2010.06.27 22:26:00 - [36] it says my account isnt active even though i just subscribed again. Cant send my buddy invites.
opati	Posted - 2010.06.27 22:28:00 - [37] confirming buddy program works fine and i just bought 9 months of eve time for 18 dollars :) and i have 9 new alts trainig learning skills (well, after i decide on the portaits and names :D )
Belysia	Posted - 2010.06.27 22:32:00 - [38] Edited by: Belysia on 27/06/2010 22:33:48 EDIT: nm got it working. So i make my trial and then steam sends me a 30 day code or something?
Anilusion Caldari	Posted - 2010.06.27 22:48:00 - [39] How did you manage to add 9 months? I can only send 3 invites.
youliekmudkipz	Posted - 2010.06.27 23:12:00 - [40] Originally by: Anilusion How did you manage to add 9 months? I can only send 3 invites. i have 3 accounts :)
Belysia	Posted - 2010.06.27 23:14:00 - [41] how can i create more than one eve account by using the same steam account?
el Sabor	Posted - 2010.06.27 23:23:00 - [42] Originally by: Belysia how can i create more than one eve account by using the same steam account? You create another steam account. As the mentioned in the original post.
Jack Coutu Gallente Kangaroos With Frickin Lazerbeams Negative Ten.	Posted - 2010.06.28 01:05:00 - [43] how many steam accounts would i need to sign up 9 accounts, teh full 9 or is there some way around this?
Mara Rinn	Posted - 2010.06.28 02:28:00 - [44] Originally by: Anilusion So I just created 3 accounts that I will have for 51 days. How do I make the most profit out of them in that time? :P Train them up for trading, hauling, cloaking, transport ships. Learn where people produce datacores (check out the Profitability of R&D Agents service) and make sure you can buy stuff at the stations where those agents live. Grind standings with those corps in order to reduce broker fees - with your hauling training you'll be able to find Manufacturing or Production agents who will give you mostly courier missions. There are, of course, other items on the market that are more profitable than datacores - it's just that datacore hauling is dead easy due to the limited number of places that people can create them. Reinvest your profits into a blockade runner & covops cloak, expand your arbitrage hauling empire to lowsec. [Aussie players: join ANZAC channel]
Ayunei	Posted - 2010.06.28 03:01:00 - [45] Edited by: Ayunei on 28/06/2010 03:04:03 I think CCP just stopped it, I sent an invite to myself, but in the confirmation screen I got this: Quote: * Each Active Subscription Account (trial accounts do not qualify for this promotion) can send Buddy Program invites * Each Active Subscription Account is restricted to 3 Buddy Program invites per month * Only accounts created through this emailed invite are valid for this offer. Be sure your friends use the invite to create their account in order for you to earn your game time when they subscribe to EVE Online * Eligible subscription activations can be funded by Credit/Debit cards, Direct Debit, WebMoney, paysafecard, ETC, PLEX and PayPal. Payments not eligible for this offer: PayByCash, Steam. * Your friend must activate the free 21-day trial within 2 weeks of receiving your Buddy Program invite. * You will need to have an active account once your friend purchases an EVE Online subscription to get your 30 days. * Please note that once your friend purchases an EVE Online subscription, your 30 free days may take up to 24 hours to be applied. Important text bolded. Edit: A corpie said it worked for him though... I'm not sure.
Jack Coutu Gallente Kangaroos With Frickin Lazerbeams Negative Ten.	Posted - 2010.06.28 03:17:00 - [46] No it works, i got my free time added to my account the second i registered with the steam account
Kargroth	Posted - 2010.06.28 03:30:00 - [47] thatbloke, thanks for the heads up about the special offer and the great instructions. It does work as I received an extra 30 days for $1.99. That's one cheap PLEX. Another thing to think about when creating a second account. If you can't afford maintaining the second account, you can always transfer the character from your second account to your main account. It will cost you $20, but you will have a train up character without having to pause skill training on your main. Just make sure you give yourself 4-7 days before your second account expires for the transfer. thatbloke, once again thanks!
Buttered Toast Perkone	Posted - 2010.06.28 04:00:00 - [48] do I need another freighter alt or a trade alt or a covops alt... hmm I think I need another freighter alt ;) thanks ccp.
thatbloke Gallente	Posted - 2010.06.28 07:47:00 - [49] bumping as this awesomeness has fallen off the first page! 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.
Cobalt Sixty Caldari Intercision	Posted - 2010.06.28 09:07:00 - [50] Edited by: Cobalt Sixty on 28/06/2010 09:11:48 This is awesome. So far, 2 extra months on my account - thanks to the Buddy Program - for just $4 USD. I stuffed up and used a third key on a trial account I'd created just prior to the 14 day window, without doing the required reading first. Oh well. Only $2 blown, cheaper than what I pay for coffee on campus. I'm thinking of buying another 3 copies to try and store the CD keys for when I get my next set of Buddy Program invitations. Meanwhile, 51 day duration PI alt army (EDIT: well, more of a squad sized unit) chaaaaarge! Only a few hours left to decide ... EDIT 2: I'd been bumping into a fraud prevention error after the second purchase, so for the third copy I switched from Credit Card to PayPal but on the forth attempted purchase the PayPal was blocked too (though possibly due to a connection on that account to the previously used card) HOWEVER I've found that I can gift EVE to the new account from my main Steam account using my Credit Card again. I'm trying it for 5 & 6 now.
StarScream Xion Caldari Xion Limited	Posted - 2010.06.28 09:55:00 - [51] I just got this, but it was more because I wanted to be able to eve through steam without my everyone in my friends list seeing "Eve Online: Demo" whenever I was playing. It's a small thing I know but it annoyed me ^^; Does anyone know if you have to use the code within a certain period of time? I might save it for some time when I can't afford to buy a GTC ^^;
