Hi there,

i just invited a friend to play EVE-Online via the buddy function. If i give him a plex would we both still get 30 days to gametime or has this been removed? The accountpage is unclear because it says ccp sometimes will not give away gametime. Can anyone confirm that it still works?

Your friend cannot Plex if you want anything for free. In short, he must pay his way to activate a full sub ffrst before you get squat.

If he pays with a PLEX you can NOT get a PLEX as a reward but can chose from any other.

All very clearly stated in the ToS of the buddy invites.

Actually thats not the case.

To be eligible for rewards, the new Buddy account needs to be activated and the subscription fee paid by using Credit/Debit cards, PayPal, WebMoney Transfer, paysafecard, ETC, PLEX, Nexon, Ukash, iDeal, Yandex, Amazon Game Connect and any additional payment methods accepted by CCP from time to time.


So if the OP gives his friend a plex he will be able to pick 30 days gametime as a reward, effectively granting them both 30 days of gametime for 0 real dollars.

What he cannot do is give his friend a plex and then receive a plex from the buddy system effectively activating his friends account for free.
