Every week that I clean out my Ferrari I am able to find a few hundred dollars that I subsequently dump into EvE. Basically just using pocket change to pay for a few months and maybe a few billion isk on the side.

One account with plex. Takes about a week. I used to pay with cash but I'm kind of poor.

I wish I knew how / played enough / had enough feroxes to sell / could find a place to explore with people to bump into infinitely that I could make a billion ISK A week.

Unless you are someone who has played for years and has 50b+ ISK I really don't see the point in using PLEX to sub an account. If you have no other alternative then maybe, but how do you pay for a computer/internet/power but not $15 a month for a subscription o_O. Anyways! Just remember opportunity cost. c:

I pay with my credit card. Because my credit score went down not long ago from not carrying enough revolving balances, so for the good of my credit score I need to buy dumb **** on the internet with a credit card. I bought a laptop, an HDTV, and have a recurring Eve sub. Winning!

Paypal every month in case some miracle MMO appear that will blow me away. From time to time I take 1 month break to try something else. Sometimes it's more than a month. But in the end - I always end up here...

2 accounts pay yearly I pay for one every 6 months. its the cheapest way to do it. Can't be bothered to grind anymore, I've better things to do with my time, but I still want my fingers in the game so I log in once a week.Ugh

I pay my subscribtion with RL money. I have 2 original bought PLEX as reserve - just for to be prepared.

I do not want to spend my time with grinding in order to get into the next month of play where i also have to grind for the next month and so on.

I just work for 30 minutes and pay my subscription that way… screw wasting play time on providing myself with play time.

I get a decent enough yearly bouns from work so I sub on a yearly basis, saves a little money and then when I want something shiny but cba to go pew stuff for it I'll get a GTC or two if there's a deal somewhere.

I'd rather spend my time making things explode than doing pve content.

I prostitute myself out to for my sub.

It gets messy.

Sometimes PLEX ( from the EVE Market ) and sometimes the subscription price.
It all depends on how active i was in the past month.

I used to do it with PLEX only, but that was back when it had a "normal" price of about 320 M ISK.

when running incursions/flying in WH's when a plex was only an hour or two of gametime for me, I would plex all 3 of my accts. Now that I'm not doing those, am paying with $... but when 1 acct is 2 hours of work (after taxes), i'm not entirely sure how much longer I really want to be spending that much money for 3 accts when 1 would serve all my current needs...

A pay'r here, as with Tippia I much prefer to enjoy my time playing rather than grinding in game to get play time ^^ (and as a Brit I look forward to the cheaper subs coming our way xD)

I enjoy the idea of other people paying real money so I can play(or at least subscribe to) a video game.
