hello all.

I am wanting to set up a new alt account to compliment my existing one and am wondering if it's ok by the ToS to start a trial account then within 10-30 minutes using a PLEX, that I got from a silly person in a noob ship hauling it, to make it a full account? Or do I need to shell out the RL cash for the initial month?

Just need to know so I don't get in trouble, I used to know but I've totally forgotten.

Thanks in advance

here is a short but exhaustive list of things that you should NOT do:
- sell or buy ingame assets for real money (except from CCP or trusted resellers like steam).
- scam people during character sales
- pretend to be a CCP employee or otherwise abuse CCP's trustworthiness (such as manipulating EVElopedia).
- bully, threaten or otherwise harass people in real life. ("i will come into your wormhole and kill your pos" is ok, "i will come to your house and burn it down" is not ok).
- share your accounts with other people

I should buy an Ishtar.

Impersonation of any kind isn't allowed either. If I'd claim to be your alt I could get in trouble over it.

Yes, yes I am. Thanks for noticing.

oh yea, right. i was trying to forget this horrible policy existed, but technically, yes, you are not allowed to impersonate other players (unless they finally changed the policy?).
