So I was thinking of coming back for a bit, and looked into the offer I got in my email from you. I followed the prompts and logged in, and then when reviewing the payment info, I read this:
Your card will be automatically charged $19.95 for the first month and $14.95 for every month of game time thereafter until you change your payment method or cancel your account. Your subscription will be activated immediately.
Now, I am no rocket surgeon.. but that don't read right. Did I end up on the wrong page? Offer expire prematurely? Verbiage incorrect?
Also, while I have a topic open..
One of the only things I really enjoy in EvE is having multiple characters (realistically requiring multiple accounts). I know that you sometimes promotionally have discounts for multiple accounts (power of two), but is there a long term option that can be considered? I love the time I spend in EvE, but I don't want to spend $30-45 bucks (or plex equiv) a month to play it. Even something marginal (so long as it is consistent) would be of great value. If you asked me personally what having two accounts was worth in EvE on a monthly basis, I would say $20.00. Maybe I am cheap, but in comparison to other MMOs and the boon of only realistically having a sole active character per account... EvE is overpriced for the multi-account player.
So do space a favor, and cut old Quaaid a break! Lonetrek needs me baby!
That is all, Thanks! - - - - -

Edited by: Hoist Pax on 13/11/2010 06:51:03 All accounts have had to pay the 19.95 for the first month after the trial period ends, or if paid from the start. To reactivate an account which was active beyond the first month and then went inactive, it only costs 14.95, if paying on a month to month basis. I recently did this after being inactive for almost 2 years, so the extra $5 is only once per account no matter how long you've gone inactive and come back.
edit: I only pay for one account with my own money and then get my other characters/accounts active by trading ISK for 60 day GTCs.

It's a typo. It also has a euro symbol rather than a dollar symbol at one point in that form.
I re-subbed using the "rejoin for 20 bucks" button in account management, 2 months added, 20 bucks charged to my card. |

Confirmed, it is a typo. Hit the rejoin now button and got the 60 days for 20 bucks. A lot of confusion with this since I've spent the last 2 days looking for the right link.

Edited by: BombaLuigi on 18/11/2010 10:41:28 so, used up my 5 free days, was trying to resub using that "19.95 for 60 days"-offer thingy. after reading this thread now, i have to say there was no such thing as a "resub for 19.95 for 60 days" button for me, though i've received the email with the offer. so i thought it would automatically activate my account for 60 days when i resub for 30 days, i reactivated by paypal. apparently i was wrong, my account is now activated for 30 days, not using the benefits of that offer at all.
seems im busted?

I tried resubbing with this deal but the payment failed. I send a petition but my account ran out before it was answered, Just resubbed with 30 days, my petition is still up so when they do get round to looking at it do you think they will reset the deal for me again? I added that I had resubbed. Well I posted something, You will prob disagree. But its my opinion SO keep it to yer self.

my alt, who has used up the 5 day offer, on his account management page has the usual Account details Subscription details Account Services links and also a button that says Rejoin eve for 19.95 so it is there for him, .... if you have already re-subbed by adding time then that offer will probably not be there....
I'd petition if you think it is wrong. [and make sure you put it in the correct place]

Edited by: Haysen Ng on 19/11/2010 03:27:06 I resubbed too for 60 days priced at 19.95. They tricked me though... They said Incursion would be out in time during my subscription, and from the looks of it now, it'll be before January when my sub ends. Incursion has been delayed to Jan...
Trickery! Think i can try to convince to extend my sub to when incursion comes? After all, they did promise falsely!

I too received this offer by email. After logging into the inactive account, there was no mention of the free days or the 60 days offer. There is no additional button on the account management page as described by others in this thread.
I've submitted a petition. While I wait, has anyone worked around this?

Did anyone succefully take up this offer? (I did get the 5 free days but was never able to find out how to pay for the 60 days)
Am just wondering as I was unable to find how to activate it, and it appears I could only pay standard prices, I submitted a petition but that was over a day ago now and no response, Im glad i wasn't having troubles where I was stuck, cause that would really suck!
Anyway I guess now that it is past the expiry date of the offer I won;t be able to accept it anymore, it was just an empty promise that did pan out, I was looking forward to coming back to eve, as I did enjoy playing it, though 5 days is not enough to get the bug to get back into it and if they aren't going to give what they promised I don't really wat to give them my money.
The price isn't really an issue as I have plenty of cash, it simply the principle that they should honour what they offered. Guess I will have to go and find another game to play if they won't honour the deal...

Quite so. I also have trouble with this. Free 5 days worked just fine, but 60 days at discount price did not. I was automatically charged for 1 month at full price just for updating my credit card info, no "special button" in sight. Just got the same offer on my 2nd account, and without changing or doing anything else I have scoured the account page for anything resembling a discount-option, to no avail.
And my petition regarding my first account, from the 24th (wednesday), remains unanswered. Luckily I paid with credit card, with 40 days to make the actual payment, so if my petition don't get a satisfactory answer within a reasonable time I will consider the offer a scam and stop the payment. And remain highly sceptical of CCP in the future.
Have anyone with similar trouble gotten their petitions resolved/how long did it take?

Yes, I did. When I went to the accounts page, there was a separate button/picture that said "19.95 special" or something.

I have to be blunt here but someone said I got 5 free days but couldn't work out $20 for 60days? How dumb are you? It's simpley says how and all.. If your lazy to read how to get 60days then your the problem.
Anyhow I not sure but I checked my accounts and I have 60 for $20 sooo not sure where gone wrong here.

I was in similar situation. Unfortunately if the transaction failed they can not make the offer reappear. However they offered me solution where if I resub for a month they will add 15 days to my sub so price per day will end up same. I took that offer, getting 45 d for 14.95.
If I understood stuff correct then their billing system crashed for a little while and all who tried to take the 60d offer and got error as a result of transaction are now flagged as already received the offer and thus do not qualify to it anymore. While GM's probably do not have that level access to actually erase transactions from your transaction history. Even if this transaction is "error" instead of "paid".

Many people seem to have an issue with this. If you don't, good for you, but there's no need to be an ass about it.
Oh, and my second characters account got the offer just two days ago: "Offer expires December 2nd, 2010". The expiry date on the offer isn't the same for everyone. And as long as you activated the 5 day free-offer in time, that should be enough, as the 60 day offer is just an extension of the same offer.

Got an answer to my petition, seems this is a common problem and anyone who has it gets +15 days if they paid for a month.

Edited by: copicus on 28/11/2010 17:22:19 Edited by: copicus on 28/11/2010 17:21:56 Funniest thing is that I went for the free 5 days , but all my characters are missing at the log in screen! (so it's a no brainer that i will not be playing this again).
Even with the 60 day discount offer (which is more or less standard price for other games , It sucks to be in the U.K. with poor exchange rates vs the euro these days! ).

Sounds like a stuck-petiton if ever I heard one.

But not all games give you expansions for free, at least not right away. That and most other MMO's are all the same.
