Creating alts.

I am considering creating 3 or 4+ alts and I have a couple of questions. This is my plan: I use my main character to refer 4 alts using the buddy program. They get a 21 days trial. At the end of the trial, I give them each a Plex and they use it. I get a Plex back because I referred them and the alts get an additional 30 days of game time. And obviously after 30 days, I either pay for their subscription with $$$ or Plex. Is this allowed? Will they refuse to give me a Plex through the buddy system/is this an exploit?

60 day GTC = 2 PLEXes. If you use a PLEX for the first subscription payment of a buddy-account, the account that sent the invite will get 30 days added to its subscription, but no PLEX.

You don't have to wait until the end of the 21 day trial by the way. If they subscribe during that time, it will be added to the end of the 21 days.

Who put the goat in there?

Don't forget that each separate account supports 3 characters.

The characters cannot multi-box you need to log out of one to use the next.

However once the extra characters are trained to be useful (you can create and use them straight away but they can basically fly a frigate and that is it) the advantage is you can stop training them and just sub/plex the main account and they remain available . Ideal for PI or hauling alts, market alts, scam alts and spies.

You can upgrade the trial right away for 51 days of sub. If you use each new account to refer the next, I guess you could end up with 2 accounts with 81 days each, one with 51 days and your main will have an additional 30 days. I think power of two is still running, which will allow you to sub a new account for 6 months for 3 plex, so you could have 3 accounts with 180 days each for 9 plex.

Oh god.

If you use a PLEX or GTC to upgrade a buddy invite there is only 1 reward possible: 30 days of game time.

If you were smart you would have done this a few days ago because amazon had a special where you could have made a new alt with 54 days of account time for a dollar.. :(

Just a note: 90% of the posts in this thread come from ignorant people, disregard them.


Remember: When it comes to afk mining, the more alts you have, the more you will make multiplied by days the month.


Yes it works like this:

- create an alt off a 21 day trial invitation from your main
- plex it, and you will be rewarded with 30 days on your main (not a plex)
- use your credit card to subscribe and you can choose whether a plex or 30 days on your main
- you can create as many alts as you, it will always work the same way
- you can log in at the same time all your alts, as long as you have already plexd the accounts
- the plex/subscription will be added to the end of your 21 days trial period
- if you plex your trial account on the first day, it will become a subscribed one, which means you can train the skills and do everything as a normal account for the next 51 days

I hope this clears all your questions and shuts all the ignorants posting in your thread.

thumbs up if you like :))))

Yeah, I was going to do that but I was 2 hours late. Hopefully they bring back something similar for Christmas.
