You may wonder why I'm starting a thread where only the new kids are supposed to post. Well...I believe they will find the answer helpful.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
So here we go.
I have characters that were subbed at one time or another. I also have characters that have only ever been PLEXed. When I add a PLEX to the non-subbed characters, I can see the days left until I'm back to Alpha. When I add a PLEX to a previously subbed character it shows me nothing.
If I don't load up thirty days of skills right away, I tend to end up adding more later and having no idea if I'm under the wire or not. It's happened a few times with characters I don't use often that I've lost up to ten days of training because it dropped to Alpha well before the training was up.
Here's the question. Is there a way to change some setting (In acct management, maybe?) to reset the character to a non-subbed state so that my time left will show up on them?
Mr Epeen
There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!

I've looked all over for some sort of 'days remaining' as well and thought maybe I was blind.. Would be a super nice feature if it's missing!

They must do that for a reason, but I can't figure out why. I only use evemon now just to tell me how long I have left. Weird how characters having only ever been subbed or plexed making a difference in remaining time notification.

Mr Epeen Well, maybe I'm misunderstanding the question but if you log into your Account Management page it should show you the account status. Doesn't matter if you use the 'Log In' option on the right or the 'Account' drop down menu on the left and select 'Account Info', they both will take you to the same page.
For example I have 2 accounts, one is Alpha and the other is Omega.
After logging in my Alpha Account Username and Password, the Account Management page shows :
Quote:Subscription and payment
Account Type Alpha Account
Your Omega subscription expired on 17 March 2016
After logging in my Omega Account Username and Password, the Account Management page shows :
Quote:Subscription and payment
Account Type Omega Account
Current Subscription 12 Month EVE subscription - Paying with Credit Card
Next Billing Date 07 November 2017 - 7:36 pm UTC (in 195 days)
If I canceled my subscription, I believe the Omega Account status will still show how much time is left on the Account. So basically I could just make a sticky note of when the Account is going to expire and tack it onto my computer or just mark the date on a Calendar, either way I'll definitely know when my Omega Account expires.

What I'm talking about, DeMicheal, is in game.
A PLEX only acct shows time left when you look at your character stats, whereas a previously subbed character shows nothing. While I could certainly log in to acct management, it's not very convenient. It would be much easier if when you were PLEXing it showed time left in game for both previously subbed and "virgin" accts..

Ahh, an in-game notification to show amount of Omega Account subscription time. That would definitely be nice.
I've been hit in the past with lost training time from not knowing the exact expire time which caused my account to become unsubbed due to lack of funds on my Credit Card.
Course back then there wasn't Alpha or Omega Clone status so I quickly realized the situation when I wasn't able to log in.
Mr Epeen wrote:Plus I have currently 22 characters to keep track of. That would be a lot of alt/tabing just to log in each on acct management when I'm running through them to see which are due for PLEX. Mr Epeen
Well, you wouldn't have to log in all 22 characters since each account has maximum of 3 characters. That roughly equals about 8 accounts. Unless you're talking about only having 1 character per account then yeah, I understand .................
But still there's the ole notepad / mark it on a Calendar option, right ?

evemon says when my sub is up ingame its frustrating as it does for some of my accounts but not others :<
I've tried donating plex, or contracting it over and activating on account, neither seems to do any difference.
the whole alpha clone thing seems to have messed with that part of the code as accounts don't actually expire any more.

@DeMichael. I should have said accts. And I should have said 23 (Just counted 'em in the launcher). Granted, not all of them are Omegas at any one time, but most of them have actively training characters on them. I already have them listed out in notepad with their associated names, passwords and characters just in case the game does one of it's periodic crash and wipes, so I guess I could just make a new list for skills and keep it updated.
On the other hand, I could take a few hours and load them all into Evemon as has been mentioned. Though I thought it had gone, for some reason. Which is why I haven't tried to download it since building this new computer.
That's probably easier, come to think of it, than trying to remember to update a list in notepad.

I have an excel file that tracks... 36 accounts, for their skill queue end dates. I know, I know its outside the game.. but it is fully automated, and can be checked within the hour.
http://eveonline-third-party-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/xmlapi/account/account_accountstatus.html paidUntil datetime The date until which the account is currently subscribed
With a bit of VB magickry, excel can do this and do some bold highlighting, color warnings, etc.
I used to use an app for Android err.. something like TimeLeft for a countdown timer in days, but this excel thing really streamlined things up since I can mold it to my liking. |

I thought that information was buried somewhere in-game and I was just missing it. Nice to know that I'm not actually blind.
My work around has always been the Neocom app for iOS. It shows a "paid until" date (along with days remaining) for each character that works for either PLEX or subscription. I largely live off of that app and the "paid until" date is right on the home screen, so it's always in front of me. |

23 accounts !!!
I've always known half of the characters in Eve were alts, just never thought they all belonged to you.

Clearly it's CCP coding quality at its finest. Maybe the Little Things team will get around to fixing it, in a couple years.
Until then, I use the in-game calendar or notepad apps to keep track of it in-game. I use the calendar for the actual date, and the notepad to write notes to myself about WTF I'm trying to skill up to and when to remap.

Only four of mine are newer than 2012, and only two are new accts.

Been playing for about two months and I've got *counts* eight characters across one Omega and four Alpha accounts. My main account has three which was a mistake. I'll probably spin off one of those characters into their own Omega account. Amazon had a $5 sale so I've got two more 1-month Omegas to figure out what to do with
FYI if you've been following the API forum there's some speculation that the latest API (ESI) will not divulge clone state so when and if the XML and CREST ones go poof 3rd party apps will no longer have direct access to that information. They may or may not be able to derive it if they have access to the skill queue timers.

EvEmon reports days remaining.
However, multi-character training is not. That's probably an API issue. |
