Why isn't the remaining gametime left on the character selection screen or the character info window?

Isn't this important information so we know when to pay or buy plex in-game?

I hear all the huff puff about Eve is still actively developed and they wanted to add little things to make things easier but yet we still cannot get an overview of our account time in game. The mind boggles.

Don't know about you but I tend to take note of such things and just remember.

So Eve has become a pencil and paper game, ok.

We have a calendar. Pop it in there, that's what it is for.

EVEmon shows the account expiry, and will even warn when it is getting close.

Doesn't the character selection screen already show the amount of days left when you almost run out? Like a week or something.

Some overly confrontational replies were removed; please keep it civil!

Miilla, it might be a good idea to post about this in Features and Ideas ?

If you click on your PLEX and hit redeem it will say your current amount of time and the new amount of time. You will then have the option to use the PLEX. I occasionally will redeem and cancel just to check my time left.

On the flip side, for people that have a recurring renewal setup via credit card, having a remind might cause them to say hmm, i should plex before i get billed again.

Otherwise they say ah crap i missed the date, oh well I'm renewed for another X months, I'll spend that plex on ships.

Bottom line, having the reminder cuts both ways.

You can see it in your account management. If you're lazy enough to don't check your EvE Gate awesome features then you can keep whining.

I know where to find it but really it would be better to be in the game next to the character and not just when its about to run out, since game time IS an INGAME item tradable so put the information there where it is useful.

I would joke that is where posts go to die, but I have seen more and more developers popping up on that board. Kudos!

An easy solution is just to plex your accounts for the remainder of the year. If you know that you need to plex every New Year for 12 months, it makes things much easier.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Because it's a bit redundant. Remaning game time or game time left would be enough each on its own…

Ok, so I could download the app to my iPad. Why bother as it doesn't take long to log into my account.
