This offer gives you the opportunity to create a second account with 6 months of game time for only 49.95 USD/EUR, whichever is applicable to your current account.

make it cheaper...
pure and simple, screw VAT or whatever reason it is ur keeping the EU price at the same figure as the US price.
Make EU players pay 35 euros (give or take) so it's the same as US players with their 50 bucks.
I've been hearing that it's cheaper to start a new account using gtc's bougth from shattered crystal for instance, so this is just rediculous. CCP, let us pay the online shop with Direct Debit!!! Magners is now recruiting, evemail me or Dagazbo ingame.

I Would like to have a second account, 1 simple problem...
I log into account, no button or anything to create a second account :(
I recently re-joined eve a week or 2 ago, asked support about it, they said my account was not active when the power of 2 was out, so tuff luck :(
Now it has been extended and i have been active, how come i can't get a second account?
CCP I am willing to pay for a second account, are you going to turn me down?
I think it is a bit sad you dont just let anyone have a second account, after all it's extra revenue for CCP

I don't want another account, but it's not showing up on my account page either - just in case there's a bug or something.
PS- My account has never been inactive for more than a few hours I think, although never in the past few months. __________________ Galaxy Punks are recruiting, click here for more info [site in beta ;)] |

Petition in the billing category. The anti fraud system would pick up if your card is issued in another country than you're trying to use it from, but it could be other problems as well.

Extended...because they didnt make enough money due to bad service, downtime, lag and petitions not getting responded.
This is more than likely the reason its extended...What is happening to EVE?...all of a sudden I and a lot of other customers feel completely cheated..for instance:

This was great news for me! Running a trial account I so fell for Eve and was aiming for a second account already but missed the 4th November. New the offer returns and Voila! I can't get it!?
What's this I hear only accounts active during the offer can take it? That's not exactly good marketing.. I would very much like to take part in this offer and wonder if it's by any means possible? If not then you'll loose those extra ÇÇ from my part as I'll be sticking to one account only.

So, let me understand this correctly, people registered and active prior to approx 14:30 (Eve time) should be able to get the Po2 offer?
If that's the case I should be eligible but I can't find that button anywhere on my account. Is it because I'm on trial account? A little more information would help, or at least a link to where this information might be posted.

Yes, the offer is only available on paying accounts that were active at the time, not for trial accounts.

Edited by: Spacy Tracy on 07/11/2007 19:22:01 Is there any chance we could use this to
- open the second account as normal - transfer a character from existing account - once the 6 months have expired, transfer back to original account.
Basically - I already have a second account and I have to split my training time between two characters, and 6 months would allow me to pretty much get one of the alts polished up to where he needs to be. But the existing $20 character transfer fee is pretty much a turnoff for me.

Wouldn't hurt though if you gave out a little bit more information to begin with next time. If I knew about the trial account thing last week I would've upgraded to full in time.

The Euro/Dollar parity is really discouraging. I live in Euro-zone and I already paid for the first account through and absurd US ETC dealer for this reason (40% discount mind you, but some extra benefits for a US industry that does nothing to specially deserve it) and now the same absurd price in Euro and $$ is still maintained for those offers. Swiss players do not suffer from that, I doubt English ones pay in Euros but French, German and other Belgians probably do. What is the logic behind that?
And will CCP maintain this policy should the Dollar reach 0.5 Euros or lower in some months?
I feel unjustly milked.
Meanwhile, congratulation for the Linux client, a smart move.

Any character transfers are not included in the price I'm afraid.

The Power of Two offer means if you have an existing account you can get an additional account for 49.95, this includes account creation and 6 months of game time, after that you can continue using the account for the normal cost.

Power of Two is only for new accounts created with this offer, not discount for existing accounts.
Originally by: Tam Elbrun is it possible to just use paypal funds for this offer?

The only method of payment for this is credit card (or debit card).
Originally by: Various posters I still can't get the Power of Two offer to show up even though I meet all requirements (paraphrased).
I will send off another email so we can check what is happening.
Originally by: Various posters Why do we pay so much more in EUR than those paying in USD (paraphrased)?
As we have said before, the main reason for the difference in cost is the EU VAT, which is basically a tax in most of Europe. There is an additional difference in price, which is due to the USD being weak right now. We have decided not to increase the price in USD for now, if that decision changes we will announce it.
I hope this clears up some questions and I will get back to you with more information on the Power of Two offer not showing up for some of you when I know more.

So let me understand this. We have our first old account, normal paying. With the power of two we get a second new account for 49,5$ for 6 months. But that money also includes our first old account also for 6 months OR its just for our new second account and we continue to pay separatly for our first old account ??

Yes, it is only for the second account, you still pay as usual for your original account.

- You spell out that you would pay back VAT to the EU when one is buying from there... I am a bit surprised to say the least, and I suspect it must be very simple indeed! - but what happens when if I buy ETC by shatteredcrystal for instance? Are they paying VAT to the EU too? And on which basis? - and if I were a US official playing from, say, the US embassy in Luxembourg? I am probably not supposed to pay VAT in this case, playing from US soil, and I would probably be entitled to a refund?
It is the first time ever I am doing some fiscal optimisation a la Big Corp. Things are turning a bit weird in this Earthly world...
Oh, by the way, you're welcome in the EU! Plus on est de fous plus on rit.

If you're buying from a non-EU retailer you may have to pay the VAT yourself (depending on the EU country you live in)
Quote: - and if I were a US official playing from, say, the US embassy in Luxembourg? I am probably not supposed to pay VAT in this case, playing from US soil, and I would probably be entitled to a refund?
If you were a US official playing from, say, the US embassy in Luxembourg you would either know what to do or know where to find the information about what to do. =AFK=

Edited by: Boule Desbois on 09/11/2007 00:49:26 About this difference of prices... some precisions fetched there and elsewhere: - Island is a member of the European Economic Space (EEE in French), which is apparently not a custom union but an economic union. Go figure... Norway and Lichtenstein are other non-EU members of this agreement, and Switzerland is closely associated to it too but with some derogations. - according to what I have read, any non-EU company selling through the Internet or otherwise to EU customers should collect the VAT (possibly considering one single rate for the whole EU) and give it back to one single fiscal administration of one of the EU member of its choice (presumably, the one with the aforementionned rate).
Conclusions: - Shatteredcrystal/Ebay and the others ETC resellers should charge for the EU VAT and give it back to the EU states through one of them. I am not so sure they do that... - CCP should (and certainly does) collect the VAT and give it to one EU state.
The catch is: this would count for 15% of the price in the worse case scenario, and a 45% difference between US and EU prices is not justified.
Well... sorry for the annoyance, I'll have some Veldspar now... and I still feel milked. Meeeuuuuu!!

Quote: make it cheaper...
pure and simple, screw VAT or whatever reason it is ur keeping the EU price at the same figure as the US price.
Make EU players pay 35 euros (give or take) so it's the same as US players with their 50 bucks.
Unfortunately, CCP has set their prices in $$ instead of ISK (Icelandic Krona). The ISK has appreciated about 16% over the $ since jan 2007. That means the $$ players have a 16% discount to the Krona today. Not bad?
Euro players are paying a 46% premium (at 1.46 $ to a Ç). In fact our costs have increased from a 32% premium in jan 2007 (1.32 $ to 1 Ç) in Jan 2007 to 46% today. ie increase of 14%.
CCP is losing 16% on each $$ account and gaining 14% on each Çland account.
No country has a 46% VAT.
The $$ will continue to go down the toilet. And the Ç will continue to go up (soon 1.5$ to 1 Ç) That means Çland will continue to pay more while $$ customers will continue to pay less.
At 10.00 hours (gmt+1) there are roughly 18players on line. most are probably euro. thats the equiv. of 26k $$ players with no extra server load. not bad, huh?
...and as for the button to extend to a second client. where is it?

This would be against the EULA since you're not allowed to transfer accounts.

Originally by: CCP Wrangler The Power of Two offer means if you have an existing account you can get an additional account for 49.95, this includes account creation and 6 months of game time, after that you can continue using the account for the normal cost.
Hi,
no offence, but the normal cost after 6 month is just ridiculous, I think. Please, keep the same low price for long time customers. That case I am willing to spend another 49 bucks for CCP every 6 month.

What exactly does Po2 do for you? Besides costing less for the second account for 6 months and allowing you to train an Alt character at the same time as the main. Can you run both accounts at the same time? Will you receive a different start up interface? Let me know. I'm interested if the benefits are worth it.

There will be no other interface. You got the point in every other aspects of it. You can use them both at the same time via running multiple clients paralelly, of course.

need urgent info. Can I buy po2, then use my char from last power of 2 offer and transfer to this new po2 account, and continue his trainings further on?
If po2 has no restrictions like normal accounts, I may consider buying it again. Though 20$+50$ for 6 months = 70$
makje sit cheaper by 1 $ 70c opposed to your normal charging prices.
AND, if I buy it from GTCs site in US, it goes even cheaper!
Lucky, my credit card does calcs in US $, so Im on cheaper side whatever I pay, lol, even if Im in EU zone (or right next to it).
THNX.

So. What do you do when the name you want dosnt' sho up in game as being taken but when you try to creat a PO2 account under that name is says,
ERROR: The username you selected has already been taken, please select a different username.
I check again and the funn name has not been taken. Only the first part. Say If I wanted the name, "Vinny the Toad". The name "Vinny" comes up taken in game but not "Vinny the toad"
The character with the first name I want is about 2.5 years old, still in the noob corp with no standings. I don't think the person ever got past the trial account. Can I petition for the name? Or is there a way to get the name I wanted in the first place?

CCP Wrangler, if the EURO/USD price becomes a continuing issue you should have the finance department look into "currency hedging" your circumstances are a bit different than I have ever dealt with due to unpredicted and small vast transactions. However a specialty currency hedging fund, might have a solution. |

Well i recently started a trial account after having a break from EVE for a few years and got hooked again so i re activated my old acount thinking i would take advantage of the Power of 2 offer to keep my trial acount going wich i have got attached to
the advertisment on the main page only states u need an active account to get the power of 2 deal "The Power of Two is available to everyone with an active EVE subscription. (Trial accounts are not eligible.)"
i cant under stand why u wont let people take advantage of this if they have an active account reguardless of when the account was created and wish to pay another $50 isnt this good for CCP beter to have $50 for 6 months than 0 dollars

Originally by: 000Hunter000 make it cheaper...
pure and simple, screw VAT or whatever reason it is ur keeping the EU price at the same figure as the US price.
Make EU players pay 35 euros (give or take) so it's the same as US players with their 50 bucks.
I've been hearing that it's cheaper to start a new account using gtc's bougth from shattered crystal for instance, so this is just rediculous.
this is the same thing that's keeping me from getting a second account. Dollar is much cheaper and it should be the same price all around of the world. keep in mind I am a student and I do not have that much money.. One price for the win. If the price is the same as the quoted writer above I would buy it instantly...

No clarification has been given and the ability to use PO2 Ends on Monday, I do not want to lose 1 1/2 weeks of training time and isk already invested. Not to mention my sweet a55 name :)

What happens to it after 6 months? I might've missed it.
Originally by: CCP Wrangler
Originally by: Spacy Tracy Is there any chance we could use this to
- open the second account as normal - transfer a character from existing account - once the 6 months have expired, transfer back to original account.
Basically - I already have a second account and I have to split my training time between two characters, and 6 months would allow me to pretty much get one of the alts polished up to where he needs to be. But the existing $20 character transfer fee is pretty much a turnoff for me.
Any character transfers are not included in the price I'm afraid.
Originally by: phillie blunt so the 6 months apply to the 2 accounts or just to the new account?
The Power of Two offer means if you have an existing account you can get an additional account for 49.95, this includes account creation and 6 months of game time, after that you can continue using the account for the normal cost.
Originally by: Viceroy Bolloxim I already have two accounts.
will you allow me to discount the second account ? :) I think I have a 6 month renewal on my second about to come about... :)
can I link my 2nd account to my first to get a discounted rate ? would be nice 'reward' for my long standing gameplaying loyalty :)
oh I use a CC I dont use GTC's.
bollo
Power of Two is only for new accounts created with this offer, not discount for existing accounts.
Originally by: Tam Elbrun is it possible to just use paypal funds for this offer?
would be nice to have a alt miner :)
The only method of payment for this is credit card (or debit card).
Originally by: Various posters I still can't get the Power of Two offer to show up even though I meet all requirements (paraphrased).
I will send off another email so we can check what is happening.
Originally by: Various posters Why do we pay so much more in EUR than those paying in USD (paraphrased)?
As we have said before, the main reason for the difference in cost is the EU VAT, which is basically a tax in most of Europe. There is an additional difference in price, which is due to the USD being weak right now. We have decided not to increase the price in USD for now, if that decision changes we will announce it.
I hope this clears up some questions and I will get back to you with more information on the Power of Two offer not showing up for some of you when I know more.

I Would like to have a second account, 1 simple problem...
I log into account, no button or anything to create a second account :(
I recently re-joined eve a week or 2 ago, asked support about it, they said my account was not active when the power of 2 was out, so tuff luck :(
Now it has been extended and i have been active, how come i can't get a second account?
CCP I am willing to pay for a second account, are you going to turn me down?
I think it is a bit sad you dont just let anyone have a second account, after all it's extra revenue for CCP I thought this mr disgruntled customer covered my issue well - except that I have tried a bunch of times with different browsers to look for a way to purchase the promotions account. I am Mac user but not a tech luddite ccp wrangler you are my only hope!
Mord -- and here is the worst thing I sent in a support request via email and got a insultingly silly response.
Here it is "Thank you for contacting EVE-online Customer Support. This is an automated reply to let you know that we have received your message and will address it as soon as possible. If you have not already done so, you may want to go through the Knowledge Base and to see if you can find a solution to your problem there. Please do not file additional petitions about this incident. If you wish to update your active petition, please reply to this mail instead of sending a second one." um Gee that is the dumbest form letter I have ever been sent. I have tried a billion times to log on and take advantage of this offer and I assure you on my firefox or my safari brower -- either one -- there is no way to create an account and get this power of two promotion or any way to have the issue inteligently addressed by email support. Please CCP wrangly take care of this. With no live or phone support having a tech glitch this persistent and email support so idiotic and form letterish. I am wondering about my first account. show me you can get something done.
Thanks Again Mord

OK, I upgraded my trial account to a full account less than 3 hours ago. When I go to https://secure.eve-online.com/AccountManMenu.aspx I see buttons for: Account details, Subscription Details, Account services, Enable Eve voice, Update subscription interval, Change password, got a new credit card?, and cancel subscription. I can't figure out how to proceed. Am I "Missing the button", or just not seeing it? Also, when I go to purchase this power of two, can I do it with a debit card other than the one I'm using to pay for my normal subscription?

Can you extend the offer until friday. I have just joined up with a trial account with a friend and were bringing about 7 more players into the Universe. The thing is we all work together and get paid on this coming Friday once a month.
Im not what you would call a saving $$ type but i would definately have that cash in your account then!

Quote: The Power of Two offer is open for everyone who has had an active account before Wednesday.
Found that in game...Rather frustrating for me since one of the reasons I signed up for the game is that I would be able to have my own "minion" During the trial I had the pleasure of loosing 2 ships to "When worlds collide", and figured having a second ship to take some of the fire, and help pick off targets would be great. So, I join up, and thenlearn that The very offer that sealed the deal for me is not available to me? Talk about frustrating...
If I were in charge of making this offer, it would be standard, and never have an expiration...If you can only use it once (not get an account that is permanently cheaper), and it leaves you with a second subscription, doesn't that help CCP in the long run? The "Where is the button" bug with this is just making frustrated customers...but it is only frustrating those who want to take advantage of this offer.

The special package includes account creation and six months of game time for a reduced price. To take part of this offer, please visit Account Management. This offer is only valid until Monday, November 12.
It appears from the latest home page announcement that Po2 is available to all active accounts not just the ones that were active before Wednesday.
However, it still is not available for me on My Account page. I only activated this account because of Po2 and was disappointed when the Wednesday qualifier was buried quite deeper than the announcement. Now the announcement is on the home page and I still can not use this offer.

I too am awaiting news from a petition on how to take advantage of this Power of 2 offer with a trial account I started. I joined first of October and got to liking the game and tried taking advantage of the Power of 2 offer then. did not see offer on my account screen so I sent a petition. I received a reply that since my account had not been created before the original offer was made, I was ineligible. OK I accepted that and then decided to go ahead and start a trial account to see how I liked running two account and at the end of that time period make it into a full account. NOW they extend the Power of 2 offer and I am unable to take advantage of this with my trial account. I have already invested a lot of time and skill points into the characters on this account to throw away, esp when it has kinda become my main. Unless they allow trial and buddy accounts to be able to use this, I might as well cancel my first account if this is how customer support is on this simple of an issue especially concerning the making of money for the company. And I don't want to make it now a paid account for $20 start fee and lets say pay for 6 months ( $71.70 ) = $91.70. Same thing, I have no desire to pay the $50 for this Po2 offer and see if I can transfer the trial account one for another $20 = $70. Does this company want mine and others monies or what ?

Maybe they'll extend it again with less restrictive rules, or make a similar permanent offer. It'd probably be a good business move; I never really considered a 2nd account until I saw this offer. If I could do it (I'm not eligible either for some reason?) I would, but ah well. |

Wouldn't hurt though if you gave out a little bit more information to begin with next time. If I knew about the trial account thing last week I would've upgraded to full in time. 
Agreed...the initial posting said that all accounts would be able to update to Po2, however they just updated the page today noting the Wednesday cutoff date:
power of two offer ends on monday! reported by CCP Wrangler | 2007.11.11 18:31:43 | NEW

I have tried this twice now. The first time it created a "username"2 login and asked for a password. Password does not work. I forgot about it. I tried it just now and it created a "username"3 login and asked for a password. Then I had to enter personal details (huh?) and credit card info. Click next and nothing happens. go to subscription details, it's the details of my original account (huh?). I log out and log in as my original main. Everything is fine. I try to login as "username"3 and it won't accept my password. Have i been billed for the other 2 accounts? Who knows. The whole system is totally ****** up. If I have been billed I'll be suing.

Any idea why credit card verification isn't working for everyone? (a.k.a: me) I tried using two different CC's, using different browsers and shutting down everything that could use some kind of bandwith to disrupt it. But all i get is "Not Authorized" :/

I don't know why my card wasn't working the first weeks or so. But yesterday about 20 minutes i got home from work i got the second response to my petition (first one was basically that they where aware of a problem). Basically it was a "try again now" response, and then it worked. with the exact same card and the exact same information written like the other times.
Don't know the reason for it not functioning properly, and now i don't really care. I got my second account so i'm satisfied ;)

If I might make a suggestion as to the timing of the offer....
It may be a better idea to run it through the holidays as it may make a nice gift. I know I like probably quite a few others due to our age category would like to get our little ones accounts. As well, it would bring better uptake during the time of year when people have more of a chance to play.
