Hey, thanks for reading.

Is it possible to gain access to an expired trial? I made a character a while back and I'd like to delete him so that I can use his name on my main account.

Would CCP give me a few days grace to get in and biomass him or am I wasting my time?

They usually only allow you access to a closed account for a few hours to allow people to buy a plex so that it can be renewed for the month. If you don't up that account with plex then you get black listed from being allowed to do that again. Also biomassing would take a week to do. you have to queue them for biomass and then at the end confirm the deletion. I don't see them giving you access twice to do that or giving you access for the week but you could create a ticket from your other account and ask. Never hurts to ask if you are ready for a negative answer.

chances are you will need to ask yourself if that name is worth $15.

The other options is to activate that account not only to delete your character but use it to start an alt. Having an extra character can be very useful.

That's as I thought/feared. Thanks for the answer; I'm off to ponder possible uses for an alt Blink

Biomassing takes 10 hours - but since free time is only 4 hours answer is same: Can't be done with that free time.

You could try petition. I believe CCP used to give more time manually for activating account before that automated 4 hour free time was added. So maybe they will give a day?
