uh..what are u complaining about? arent u a 2 yr old char? why do u care about 7 days difference when ur far past that kind of thing?
But neway i spose its unfair, maybe not enough ppl where joining coz in 14 days u cant get far in eve, so there allowing a certain number of ppl to have 21 day trials by using the stream/non-stream reason, rather than giving every1 21 day trials incase it doesnt really work and they lose money?

Chill out, its just a week of play, which honestly isn't all that much.
In fact, you could just put a long skill on to train that takes a week or so just before your account expires. Your skill will keep on training for that week while your account is inactive.
Then, at the end of the week, re-activate your account. Voila, 1 week of free training time.
Of course, you can't play during that week, but really... it's only one week...

OMG I was walking down the street and suddenly found a 25 cents coin... Why??? Why???? Why couldn't I have found a 50 cents coin instead!!! Oh, unfair life, why is all the world against me? Oh mighty lord who dwells beyond the plutonic abyss, oh eternal demons who carry the destiny of manking on your shoulders, why do you insist on making my life unfair?
Then I went almost crawling to the forsaken place I call home, with tears in my eyes and a burning pain of injustice in my chest, only to find that two years ago I had been given a promotion for 14 days and now people can get the same for 21!!! Whyyyy whyyyy!!! I have "paided" for 7 more days than those people! Then a revealing truth came to me as natural as you breath every day.... Are we all "morons" ?????

No, I did not have USA in mind. In Argentina we have a .25 coin ... I don't know if such denomination exist for coins in USA, but for the dollar, as well.

All sillyness aside; is it possible to get a 21 day trial for someone who is not using steam, as I am having a friend try out EVE and I want to give him as much time to get the game to know as possible.

Not sure. But in the worst case scenario, I'm pretty sure your friend can create a STEAM account for free and sign-up from there. Once the account is created, STEAM is no longer needed.

The extra week was probably given in lieu of a manual. Too bad, 'cuz I can't help but think a simple pdf file describing the interface (or a blatant link to it if it exists) would earn more customers.
I'd love to play this game, if I could figure out how.
The tutorial, which seems like it should at least help with this, stopped functioning for me at about the time it asked me to find some pirate targets that weren't in my Overview. If this happens to you, whatever you do, don't minimize the Overview, because (judging solely by my experience) you won't find the command to restore it (if it exists), and nobody playing is likely to tell you where it is.

I'm sure someone said this before, but I remember when there wasn't a free trial at all, and then when the only free trial was the "buddy program" and it was like 3 days. You people have it so good these days!

If I have it "so good," then CPP needs to negatively review (and perhaps fire) its entire marketing department. This game requires more than just a Steam download to attract new customers, despite the promise hidden behind its obtuse interface.

The 21 day offer is NOT being offered by CCP it is being offered by steam.

It's a promotion you git, it's a special offer to advertise EVE on Steam, go complain at your local supermarket because the six pack of beer is now cheaper than it was last week..

Back when I started playing EVE there was no free trial. Add to that I was paying 250 U.S. Dollars a month for internet only marginally faster than dial up AND the sub-fee for EVE. But please do complain about losing out on 7 days of free time.

CCP and Steam are working together to promote Eve online. Many examples have been given as to why we only got 14 days and another community is allowed 21 days. This is exactly like prices on beer dropping, or that the phone you just bought is now on sale. That's life in a business and a very good marketing tactic.
Keep in mind trials can't advance past a certain point anyways. They can't even use industrial ships. In the end they'll still lose all that money and net worth if they don't pay up 19 USD.
If you're complaining about it so much, go download steam and get the damn 21 day trial. In the end they'll be paying just as much as you.

Easy solution,
you TOO can enjoy the full benefits of a 21 day trial. Feel left out because you only got 14 days of trial? Here's your chance. Cancel your current account immediatly, terminate all characters. Then, head over to steam and create
1) your free Steam account
2) your 21 day (\o/) trial account.
No need to be sad. Take this chance and start enjoying your 21 day trial....

All lies and misdirection to conceal his true, and EULA violating reason for being agry.
He uses a trial account from another computer as a noob scout. He creates a new one every 14 days. He very much like to have 21 days between creation cycles. Its a pain in the butt too get that alt moved out to 0.0 ya know.
