Simply sign up for a second account, the same way you signed up for the first one. Or, even better, send a buddy invite to one of your other emails (if you only have one, there's plenty of places you can create a new one) and benefit from both the 21-day trial AND the free 30 days on your main account when you activate your alt account.

Is there any discount for a second account or do I have to pay 2x what I pay now?

I don't think there's a discount at the moment. The buddy program bonus is the only bonus as far as I know. There used to be one, but that drive is over. So buddy program 21 trial +30 days is all you get.
Balance is important, but you will always adapt to changing circumstances and you don't whine about stuff you can't change. |

It should be noted you cannot run a trial account and a paid account on the same computer at the same time. If you run a trial account, you cannot run any other account. So if you actually want them both logged in at the same time you have to use two computers, or have both of them paid. |

Guess that doesnt work. The economy is really bad CCP! How am I supposed to justify another account to the wifey when I don't even get a discount. Seriously, she goes for the "Its a good deal" line all the time. |

Buy a 60 day GTC from www.shatteredcrystal.com, split it into 2 PLEX, use one on your main account, and one on your alt account. :)

I dun get it.
$35 for 60 days via GTC, split between 2 accounts...
or
$14.99 for 30 days for each account = $29.98
The maths do not compute. I hope you're not running someone's investment portfolio. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. |

You are forgetting that CCP also charges Ç14,99 for the europeans here. That means that with the current exchange rate it's slightly cheaper to use shattered crystal then CCP's billing |

Just one more question... Is there a tool in game for switching between alts or do you just run the game in two windows? Just wondering how this part works. |

There's no tools. You run TWO games at the same time. Start one, login and load up a toon, alt tab out, start Eve again, login. Alt-tab between them unless you have a big enough monitor to run two on the same screen.
I personally want all the screen real estate I can get so I alt-tab.
It should be mentioned, your computer will need to be able to handle two at once, otherwise you'll just lag all over the place.

Also, if your PC isn't top-of-the-line, you may need to drop back to Classic mode (instead of Premium graphics) in order to run 2 clients at once. Having a dual-core processor really helps.

You buy one Game Time Card from shatteredcrystal, then when you are logged into EVE you bring up the menu and at the bottom of the page, there is a button labeled "Convert ETC" <Eve Time Code>. Press this button, and enter the code that was emailed to you by shatteredcrystal.
This will convert the 60 day code, into 2 x 30 day PLEX (Pilots License EXtention) in-game items.
Then you right click on that item and there is an option to apply it to your account. This adds the 30 days to your subscription, or converts your trial subscription to a full account.
You can also sell those PLEX on the in-game market for ISK if you so choose.

JaseNZ, you don't understand... he means that if you buy a GTC and split it, you pay 35$... but if you pay 2x 1-month subs you pay only 2x15$, so 5$ less total... so why would you buy a GTC at all in that case The question however was already answered, it's for people from the EU that would actually pay 2x15 = 30 euro, so a split GTC would be cheaper. Or course, you can always go with the 12-month sub, in which case even paying the sub in euro is better than buying GTCs (2*131=262 euro for 2x 1-year subs... vs 12*35=420$ which aprox = 308 euro if you pay with GTCs).
