I clicked on the link on the launcher all excited... then I read... "new accounts." Cry

I never go Black Friday shopping because people die.

Black friday offer is nicely timed tho. Expect alot of people jumping on the offer, to make a cheap ganking alt for Christmas (time's about right I think to make a ganky dessie char by then)

It's CCP's hidden christmas gift: extra gankers!

it's pretty **** given that you can get 51 days for $0.00... unless you can stack it with buddy invites, but surely not.

Buddy invites get a separate deal, 90 days for $30.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

They're great deals, and it enticed me to sub a third account. Now I can like my own posts twice!

Looks like the new "expansion" didn't live up to the hype, so we need a spike of new useless alts to bump up the numbers? Oops

The 99c deal is too cheap, someone should tell CCP that if they don't value their game no one else will.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

This is even a better deal than the $0.99 Black Friday deal because you basically get 3 months free. 3 PLEX to do it, and you get 180 days of game time. Or $49.95 I think it is. Just log into your account management, and the link is on the right I believe.

I love how Beekeeper and Little Dragon can some how turn everything into "EvE is dying." If CCP were to announce profits of $100 million they would proclaim it was all just a scam and... wait for it... EVE IS DYING!

Edit: You know your a pessimist when your signature proclaims EvE is dying. Though considering they have to pay to be able to post, I'm grateful that they're willing to help fund my entertainment. Maybe you guys can buy me some movies as well? Since MOVIE THEATERS ARE DYING!

Why would they announce the profits of a totally seperate entity? Also, you don't have to pay in order to dislike CCP and/or EvE Online. You can do that without a monthly subscription, but thanks for funding my entertainment!

I was all excited til I saw this too. I have no desire to have a 2nd account again.

I just turned into an egg, did I level up? I spent an hour trying to salvage a wreck, when in local a guy said "Stop it, this is my Tempest, I was AFK"

Well.. You can stack it with a buddy invite to make a 51 day alt.. The thing with these accounts though is that they come with an advanced cerebral accelerator that lasts for 14 days, and costs about 250 mil ingame.. So I for one spent yesterday make 80 accounts.. Each of which will have 3 Gank alts on it.. Oh and I now control the market on the Cerebral Accelerators as I own 20 Bil isk worth..

If you sell or trade toons, that 51 day account can be a miner, tengu alt, super holder (much faster thanks to bs4 changes), Perfect scanner, Pi alt, etc. Even if you sell the alt you make for like 2Bil you still made it for 0.99 so after plex costs you made 800mil for a dollar..

I like those numbers..
