EVE General Discussion

Eh… a bit more detail would be helpful. What about the multi character training were you trying to change? What is the other bill in three weeks for?

It basically behaves like subscribing a second account, far as I understood. In this case, you'd still have 1 week of training on a single character after your current 3 week sub runs out

Ok.

Yes, you'll be charged with the equivalent of another subscription period. You're not changing your account or its subscription in any way — you're unlocking the ability to train a second character on an existing account for 30 days. This costs you a PLEX or, if you don't have one handy, 20 local-bux (which is as much as buying a PLEX).

Since the dual-training service runs separately from your subscription, it doesn't care when your normal subscription billing takes place. You pay to activate it and it starts running for 30 days; when those 30 days are up, you can repeat the process. Your regular subscription billing will keep happening at its regular intervals. Should your subscription run out while the dual training is active — if you stopped paying in three weeks, for instance — the dual training countdown is frozen as well. Should you reactivate the account, the dual training will start ticking down again and will have how many days were left when the subscription stopped (so another 9 days if your subscription ran out 21 days into the 30-day dual training period).

And to head off the question that invariably pops up in relation to all of this: why not just buy for a second account since it comes out to the same cost? Because having a second account means you have to keep those two accounts active indefinitely if you want to keep having access to your two characters. With dual training, you only have to pay for as long as you train the second character, and after that, you keep having access to it for free (or, more accurately, as part of your single-account subscription).

You can also purchase PLEX for less than 19.95 at some of the third party GTC resellers and then after converting the GTC in the game client, you can activate the PLEX for a second training queue.

Amazon have had some good sales if you are in the USA for example. Some of the others have normal prices that are below the single PLEX price through CCP.

Helps save a little bit on the second/third queues.

See my explanation above.

In short: it's for when you want to train a special-purpose character and want to be able to keep using it without paying for an additional account once the training is finished.
