hmmm consensus seems to be: get a job and pay the tenner tightarse

You seem utterly offended by the idea someone might play EVE for free (while someone else pays for him)

are you jealous or something?

As others have pointed out, yes its possible but requiers alot of knowledge about the game, good social connections or simply even artistic talents (some people sell banner, signatures, logos or even video intros for isk)

through normal PVE farming however i dont think its possible.


yes i am verry jellly. i honestly wish i could spend 9 hours a day grinding ISK on eve instead of doing a RL job for an hour and paying for my monthly sub. [/sarcasm]


but yeah whatever, I have zero interest in plexing my account since im not poor, and i would rather spend all my iskies on ships and mods. I have no problem with people eventually earning enough to plex their account, but to try and earn enough to plex a trial smacks of desperation to me.

I'm going to buy plex, with rl money, and sell those for ISK to buy plex so I can plex my account.

i was making a rhetoric of this thread'
and plex is $5 more than the sub, so I just pay the sub.

There is some logic in buying a PLEX to start station trading though since 500M ISK is more than enough to fill a bunch of expensive orders. This is what I did as a new player and was able to make enough for a PLEX in less than 3 weeks. I might be a better idea to invest in PLEX -> ISK over buying game time if you can find a way to invest your capital to make enough profit to pay for the game. Just reinvest your profit until you need to buy your next PLEX.

What's a meager fee for you can be two meals missing in a month for someone else, don't be an ass because some people want to play for free but you chose to pay.



You wont notice 1/45th of your monthly food missing, I can promise you that, also you can get food much cheaper than £5/meal.


Not to mention missing some meals will be beneficial to your figure if you gonna spend 4-5 hours a day on your ass grinding isk. OP prolly student too lazy to get weekend job. Stop the leeching work a day in your week and have enough to open 50 accounts yearly -.-.

Reopen the EVE gate so we can invade Serenity. Goons can go first.

However, you miss the point of the original post, the OP was specifically asking whether it is possible to earn enough isk within the TRIAL period to plex the account. This is almost certainly not possible. If you disagree then please enlighten me!


Somebody once gave me 500m for talking to him. Can be done on trial account. Big smile As for the OP's question: it is not possible to gain PLEX in the trial period through solo gameplay, not without major contributions from other players. Ways to obtain PLEX strictly through solo gameplay will open up after a few months, but by then it will be an unfun grind or terribly risky. I found great pleasure in actually coming up with a plan to make that kind of money. I must inform you that this plan is more or less just an online gamble Big smile and some months I make PLEX, some months I don't.

With the right connections you can make PLEX every month, but you'd need a character that can actively contribute to the activities that make such ISK, and actually WANT to play for profit. Best of luck though, it gets more fun if you stick around a while longer.


It can be done after buying 1 month game time, the way I did it was to get a drake asap, start running level 4's and then get a noctis asap, salvage everything and sell. I think once I started getting T2 equipment for my ship my income went to about 50mill per day.

I still don't really know good ways of making isk, but I guarantee there will be faster ways than the method I used., but it's possible to do by just paying for your first month.

Scamming, ninja salvaging, stealing, ransoming mission completion items... the list goes on. Also, if you're any good at trading you can make a lot of isk with very little effort. I update orders about once a fortnight.

Just because someone chooses to pay for the game with isk doesn't mean they can't afford it with real money. I figure; Why pay with real money when someone else will do it for me?

PLEX actually cost more than 30-days.

I read the opening post and this comment. I have a simple easy method that works and takes little work. If you want to know how just contact me ingame I'll tell you. It's simple, it's easy, and will get you on your feet for free in no time.

You are 100% false with 2nd part of your post...

By him posting this. I have discovered him and I know some easy simple ways of getting him 500mil a week with 2 days of training even. I am willing to provide him with a 51 day Full Free Account for his use and any other newbs that need it. And if he only had 14 days he would still be able to easily make a PLEX in that time just with my knowledge. Cheers.

Several trials?


Thats like playing a video game without saving. You have to start over all the time.
