Hello everybody!

I'm about to embark upon my EVE adventure again. I've played many trial characters before but with the new tutorial system I can actually work out what to do in EVE, thus I enjoy the game a lot more. I'm looking to activate this account and give it a real shot but I would appreciate it if someone could provide me wit ha 21 day trial in the meantime?

That way I can play 21 days free, get a lot of my basic training done and hopefully make a few friends through this post. The world is your oyster and hopefully, I can take a pretty big bit of it this time!

I look forward to seeing some of you out there in space!

Ok so I was able to get one already. Unfortunately I can't find a delete thread option? Forgive me.

Now to start climbing that never ending ladder!

Congrats newb, you fell for it. You are paying $20 USD or what ever the euro equilivent for an extra 3 weeks to play a second account and repeat what you did in the first 2 weeks. In reality, for that 1 extra week you where you didn't really loose anything but time, you gave some total stranger a free month's worth of game time. Would you give some total stranger a 30 day free ride on your dime in real life? Maybe a friend, but not some chump I don't know.

I hate chat spam "Any newbs wanting another free 21-day trial, I will give you X amount (sub 200m) of isk when you actually sign up" cause 2 things: 1) There is no actual reason they have to give it to you, cause this is EVE and its loaded with scams...GM's won't back you up when "X person promised, they actually said it" 2) That free time is worth at current plex of 400million for 28 days = (28 days / 4 week) = 100m a week x 3 = 300m isk so you are selling yourself short of what you could earn. Why would you want to repeat another 3 weeks of newb status when you just went through 2? A single week is worth at least 100m, so if your going to go for it get at least 3 weeks of game currency out of it by accepting another players invinte and hope you don't make a stupid newb mistake to loose it all.

You should take a few seconds to read through the Buddy Invites and Player Rewards thread. CCP considers rewards for buddy invite subscriptions to be "transactions affecting new accounts" and thus any scamming will be dealt with hardly.

I can totally recommend B'lindside

He got the invite to me fast and then once i'd signed up sent me the ISK speedily ..

He was great in that I also had made a second character (this one) and asked him to send it to that one instead, so he made sure it was me, where it was to be sent and hey presto ... omg the zero's after the 4 :-) :-)

I have done Buddy Invites in the past, and offered a nice ISK payout. I am so used to trolls such as yourself that I already have the response for you:

Eat it.

And boom goes the dynamite.

Unfortunately, not at all.

I was SCAMMED BY ANNA VALERIA and I raised a petition on the matter.
But, they brushed me of, saying that I need a proof of "in-game" communication. Now, how the **** am I suppose to get that, when all the communication was done via our RL e-mails, I got the invite then, logged in, and she never spoke to me since?

Mind you, she scammed several of my friends, they all raised the issue via petitions and got their PLEX from CCP as a result.

So they are not only wrong in my case, they also are not consistent in their approach.

And now here comes the question: what is a poor little Minmatar to do? Is there no justice for us, even after the war?
