EVE General Discussion

My friend gave me a trial link account and he said after I payed for it he didn't get any plex. Is there a 1 day waiting limit or something?

Here are the full terms and conditions. The 24 Hour wait is one of the possibilities, I bolded it.

---

* Any paying EVE Online account may send Buddy Program invitations (trial accounts do not qualify for this promotion).

* Buddy accounts must be created using the links provided in the Buddy Program invitation email. Be sure your friends use a Buddy Program invitation to create their account in order for you to earn your game time when they subscribe to EVE Online.

* To be eligible for rewards, the new Buddy account needs to be activated and the subscription fee paid by using Credit/Debit cards, PayPal, WebMoney Transfer, paysafecard, ETC, PLEX, Nexon, Ukash, iDeal, Yandex, Amazon Game Connect and any additional payment methods accepted by CCP from time to time.

* To be eligible for the rewards, the Buddy account subscription fee may not be paid using any of the following methods: Direct Debit or CD Keys, including CD Keys purchased or received from non-CCP sources and online stores such as, but not limited to: Steam Store, Direct2Drive, Gamers Gate, Impulse Driven.

* To receive your reward of an additional 30 days’ game time, you will need to have an active, paying EVE Online account after your friend purchases the EVE Online Buddy subscription. CCP may offer the reward to you in the form of 30 days’ additional game time, delivery of one PLEX to your account (which may be redeemed for 30 days’ game time), or any similar method.

* Please note that once your Buddy purchases an EVE Online subscription, your reward may take up to 24 hours to be applied.

* CCP reserves the right to restrict eligibility for some rewards according to certain criteria, including but not limited to minimum account age or minimum client log-in time of the inviter. In addition, CCP reserves the right not to reward you with PLEX (such as when a new Buddy account is upgraded using PLEX).

* The Buddy Program is intended for you to encourage new players to join EVE Online. Violating the purpose of the Buddy Program in any way or form is prohibited. Violations of this rule will be handled by EVE Online Customer Support, and action will be taken against players who violate this rule (including, but not limited to, warnings or bans of the offending accounts).

* Abusing the Buddy System is considered an exploit and will not be tolerated. Incidents will be handled on a case by case basis and action taken may include bans for all accounts involved and/or confiscation of ISK and items. Abuse includes, but is not limited to, farming gifts and making throw-away alts for grief-play purposes.

Azoriah, if I remember correctly, your friend has to claim his PLEX from his account management page. I expected a PLEX to just appear on my login screen ready to be claimed also when I did a Buddy deal but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way. You have to go claim it online.
