As you might or might not already know, all new EVE Online accounts get a 14-day trial to try out the game, but with an invite from a full account you'll get instead a 21-day trial.

So this thread is dedicate to those who want a 21-day trial. Anyone with a subscribed account can send invites.

New accounts simply have to leave their emails in the post and whoever spots it first can send an invite.

If you've already sent one then please, quote the post of the person asking for the invite and write, for example, "Sent" so that other people know that sending invitation will no longer be necessary.

Have fun and most importantly, please do not spam.

Thank you.

And then you get a nice PLEX as your reward for all this AMAZING generousity! But you didn't mention that part did you? I'm pretty sure CCP does not allow this sort of thread anyway.

No, I'm a new player myself and recently I just came to learn about the Buddy Program. I simply thought how it would benefit other people if there was a place where new players could get their 21-day trial while inviters get their additional play time.

Like I said above, anyone with a subscribed account can sent invites, it's not only for me. If I spot anyone needing an invitation, then I'll send one. But this post is not intended to gain me profit by any mean. My apologies if I gave you the wrong impression.

And if CCP thinks this is incorrect, then I'd be happy to have the post taken down.

I might not be knowning something, but the first statement contradicts the first.

Second statement is : New accounts leave an email.

First Statement: Subscribed accounts send invite

First thought is: Don't you need an active account to post.

At least on the old forums it did I belive and if not then letting "trial accounts" posting just leaves the forums ripe for isk spamming threads which thank god have never happened. So perhaps the OP should just say

"contact me in game cause CSPA charges are dirt cheap vs real life currency to post on the forums for an extra seven days on your 14 day trial, which means you have to go through the hassle of making another trial account just for a measly seven days for free which in SP terms is like an extra 300,000 SP for days 15-21 while loosing OUT on the first 14 days you already obtained the other trial account. And hehehe *trollface.jpg* I get a plex worth 30 days of game time, just because you have a greedy need to get your chubby hands for free things. "

Hmm... perhaps I didn't think of the problem that trial accounts can't post on the official forum, if such problem exists, before posting this thread. Thanks for telling.

And please, I'd appreciate it if you didn't twist my words.

Or just give them 60 day trial code and stop totally exploiting such new players. Even I draw the line at this scam.

how is this a scam o_O? Obviously the person inviting the buddy gets a PLEX out of it but to a new players if there is a choice between 14 days and 21 days I dont really think they are losing out on anything besides the opportunity to get a 21 day trial from someone who shares the ISK from the PLEX. Either way >_> you are't being scammed.

The Buddy Program is indeed a very nice way to help new players and veterans alike. New players benefit from having a mentor, sharing knowledge and maybe also some isk, the veterans benefit from a nice reward, thus the Buddy Program is a good thing for everyone.

We have a whole thread with offers, please post your offer in this thread as well.

Be aware that we do not tolerate any scams in regard with the Buddy Program.
