For the longest time, our 3rd party partners have sold EVE Time Codes to allow you to subscribe to EVE. Over time, however, they have become increasingly supplanted by PLEX. In order to adapt to this change, we are moving away from ETC to new PLEX Activation Codes. CCP Spitfire describes what this change means in his new dev blog.

The T&C for the buddy program say that PLEX wont be awarded for buddy accounts that're upgraded using PLEX, but can be for accounts upgraded with ETC. Is this going to be changed to allow PLEX as a reward for accounts upgraded with PLEX redeemed using the activation code? |

There are no plans at this time to change the current Terms and Conditions of the Buddy Program. PLEX Activation Codes will be considered PLEX and treated as such with regards to the Buddy Program. |

Got to admit, if this move increases the price then all that is going to do is make me cancel a couple of my accounts.

The price for the new PLEX Activation Codes is the same as the ETC. For example the 30 day ETC is the same price as the 1 x 30 day PLEX Activation code and the 60 day ETC is the same price as the 2 x 30 day PLEX Activation code. These scale accordingly depending on the number of PLEX contained within the PLEX Activation Code.
As for the price of PLEX it has remained the same outside of a promotional offer where the price would be lower. There has been no increase to PLEX prices purchased from us or our partners. |

I want to know this as well. Is game time going away?
I want to buy a year of game time from amazon, will I still be able to do this? Reason being, I want game time - NOT plex. I have no desire to use plex for anything other than game time. GÇ£Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do. GÇ¥ - Dale Carnegie

When you open your in-game browser and directly type in
time.codes
You get the same price for 2 PLEX as before with 1 GTC
1 PLEX $19.99 2 PLEX $34.99 6 PLEX $104.99 12 PLEX $209.99 28 PLEX $489.99

You will still be able to purchase subscription game time from Amazon from a full account of any activity status. This new PLEX Activation Code will have no impact on this. |

This is rubbish.
One 60 day GTC would cost me approximately -ú21.00 which I could then exchange for 2 plex (redeemed in game).
After your change to the system 2x plex will always cost -ú29.99
Dont try to hide this for what it is. Pure and simple price hike. Post with my main? This is my main - I just overtrain and overplay my alts. |

Can you confirm please if it's possible to convert Plex back to Plex Code - the conversion of Plex to GTC was the secure way to move plex if that option is no longer available I foresee many more Plex lost during transport which if I were cynical (and I mostly am) I think is part of the reason for the change.

Will we ever see the ability to extend another pilots account using a code or plex?
Thinking it would be so nice if I could activate a plex from my side on someone elses account (my alt accounts really) instead of having to log on to extend them all the time.

This, currently ETC are much cheaper than PLEX if your going to increase all the prices just come out and say it.
there needs to be much more clarity here.

Not sure if allowed to post this here but is relevant.

It looks like I may have jumped the gun and if so my apologies to CCP for my comments.
...this is of course providing I can still purchase 2 month GTC (PAC) codes for approx -ú21.00.
(would still prefer eve with no isk for cash though - makes it feel more worth it) Post with my main? This is my main - I just overtrain and overplay my alts. |

So you have just completely screwed over the UK players where it will now cost twice as much as it did before for the same amount of time.
Gtc for 60 days cost me $35 because i could buy from.any site. Now it will cost me -ú30 which is about $50 . Unless we can buy at dollar cost still if not then Guess this now makes it impossible for me to continue to keep subbing |

Your (legal) price will not change.
People are dumb.
Film at 11.
To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |
