Assembly Hall

Several years ago I heavily advocated for an ingame display of account time remaining when time was less than 10 days. It was welcomed with open arms. CCP even took interest with one of their Dev blogs for a winter release. However, we still do not have any visibility of when our game time will end when paying by CC, or any service other than PLEX. The PLEX status does nothing but give you words of encouragement that your account is in good standing, even though it's going to end in 10 minutes because you paid with a credit card and there are no funds on the card. When I pay with PLEX, I know 2 weeks in advance when my account will end.

I hereby propose an ingame modification to show exactly when your game time will end, and the last method used. Some of you will say 'wahh, use the account management site noob!' and I will kindly direct you to the door. This proposal is for the transparency of when your account will end, no matter where you decide to check on it.

good call on this... possibly best to indicate it on the login screen so as not to disturb the 'immersion' CCP is going for?

Simply adding your account expiration date to the already existing built in calender as an event with a reminder say 5 days ahead of your expiration would be simple and effective.

I already do this so I don't forget to buy a plex or two.

Here's how I see it: The game shows you when your account expires if you are a trial account or paid with PLEX. But if you pay with a credit card, you have no notification of when the cycle ends other than the account management screen or your credit card billing statement.

Are you not given a bill every month for your cell phone, electric, cable, insurance? Even if you choose to have those bills automatically paid for, you still receive a statement of when it is due.
