I thought it would be cool to give my friends a burnt copy of Eve-Online along with a time card for Christmas, so we can play together online. However, I've searched all my local videogame outlets, and haven't found any of them selling time cards.
I believe I can send them all free trial accounts for 14 days, but since it's a gift I want to spend some cash and put a few months of game time on the account. I really don't want to use my credit card for this, and a time card would be a much better solution.
Is there any known outlets that sell time cards or codes? Can someone put me in the right direction? Thanks!

Thank you!
It also says they can create an account with these cards. Does that mean it creates an account with 50 days time or an account with free 30 days time + 50 days? It doesn't specify.

Remember if you're short on disks, Eve Online is a free download :)

Yeah but it is a long one, and I'd rather their first Eve experience be from looking at their ship and not a download bar.

when u make your disks copy your eve directory onto the disk, not the install file, that way they dont have to update it, they can just copy it right to there HD and start it up.

Then you should do a clean up of the settings folder.
- if you DON'T want to keep any settings and give it to someone else, I think it's safe to delete the whole content of the Cache folder. Maybe you shouldn't delete Cache\Browsers. Not sure.
- if you want to do a general clean up, keep your settings and if the HARDWARE STAYS THE SAME, you would delete everything in the Cache folder, except Browsers, Settings and the file pref.ini.
- if you want to use your old eve installation in combination with new hardware e.g. if you give it to someone else, you should at least delete the file Cache\Settings\pc.dat, otherwise it might not run anymore. Maybe you should also delete pref.ini, just in case you use a screen resolution that's not supported on the other pc. Don't know what happens then. Or maybe set it to standard 1024x768 first. ( E.g. I use a custom screen resolution of 1360x1024 to keep the 4:3 screen ratio and avoid the geometry destortion of standard 1280x1024. Guess it doesn't work on a pc that's not tweaked for it. )
These are at least the infos that I have.
