Yes and yes

Yes, plex will upgrade your account to a full account.

Any time you have remaining on your trial will remain, with the plex extending the duration of your account by 30 days.


i.e. 4 days left on the trial, upgrade with plex= 34 days of a full account


If you continue to be able to afford plex in game, you will never have to pay for Eve. (assuming nothing changes. We haven't heard anything about it changing)

Woo! CSM XI!

Also, unlike other games if you die with PLEX in your cargo hold (inventory) you lose it. So don't undock with it and just use it as soon as you buy it - especially since it sounds like you cannot afford to lose it!

Wait. Which feature is restricted to ONLY trial accounts as I cant think of one.

And yes. PLEX equals paying for your account as CCP at one point got money for that PLEX, it just isnt yours.

Several skills cannot be trained on trial accounts, first that springs to mind are the [Racial] industrial skills

There is none.
I assume that the OP just made a grammatical error.

That is a restriction...not something that is only possible being a trial. There are no Trial only things in EVE Smile

my bad when I said that I meant that some features are not available to people still on trial accounts


anyways this post is pointless because I just realized that I DON'T have enough money for plex (so overpriced Twisted)
