Maybe it was obvious for everyone else, but the devblog could've mentioned that now you choose your reward after the condition has been met; until now you had to choose when you sent the invitation.
Another slightly buddy program related thing:
The community website (community.eveonline.com) doesn't have a proper link to Account Management anymore. AFAICS the only thing linking there is a litte picture that says "Upgrade trial to paid subscription". I'd like to have a link either in the support menu or get that dropdown menu on the top of the page back. |

Matiel Shrike wrote:(...) being able to mass invite people like that may/probably will destabilise the PLEX market. (...) Perhaps something to counteract the inevitable mass increase in supply to the market may be in order? First of all, PLEX prices have been rather steeply rising for a while lately, so an increased supply at this point would not hurt the market at all.
That said, I don't think that these changes will significantly increase PLEX supply for two reasons:
1. One way to get PLEX out of the buddy program was removed. PLEX for PLEX was not only used for those 51 day alts, but also as it was intended when a new player used a PLEX to upgrade his trial account and the old player would end up with a PLEX.
2. As much as I'd like to be wrong about this, I don't think that hundreds or thousands of new players will suddenly be willing to pay for Eve just because it got a little bit easier to get a 21 day trial account. It's not like 14 or 21 day trials were terribly hard to come by till now. I don't see where you get this "inevitable mass increase" from. Are you aware that in The Forge alone about 3000 PLEXs are traded per day? Even if only a third of those are actual individual PLEXs (and not just the same ones traded back and forth) the new buddy program would have to be enormously successful at getting new players to even make a tiny dent in that number.

Is this something that will curb the abuse while allowing people the comfort of having a few alts? What makes you think that creating those skill-unlimited 51 day alts for free is not already abuse even if you only create 1 per month, let alone 3? You are allowed to create as many skill-limited 21 day alts for free as you want and you can create as many unlimited alts as you are willing to pay for.
In my opinion alt proliferation is harmful to game play and in the case of those 51 day alts it doesn't even earn CCP money, so I can't see any reason why they should be desirable in any number. If you want convenience pay for it. |

Hunter Anod wrote:-WHAT POSSIBLE GAIN DO I GET NOW FOR INVITING PEOPLE Your possible gain is a PLEX or 30 days gametime, same as before. Did you actually read the devblog?
Quote:-WHY SHOULD I GO THOUGH THE TROUBLE OF ADVERTISING TO ALL MY FRIEND ABOUT THIS GAME
AND ACTIVELY TRYING TO GET PEOPLE INTERESTED Either because you want a PLEX/gametime, because you think they'd enjoy it or because you'd like more people to play Eve or possibly even a combination of all that.
Quote:-DOES CCP NEED US OR DO WE NEED ccp No clue, but I got another one: Does a smartbombing battleship in Rancer make a sound when there's no-one around to hear it?
Btw, you can turn off cruise control for cool now, space is already plenty cold. |

I've got some good and some bad news for you. Bad news first: you didn't read the devblog you're commenting on. Now the good news: you still get game time.
