Omeprazole Ways and Means Commission Likes received: 4	#1 - 2015-02-25 15:47:37 UTC or 18th as I read some people have a crazy amount of characters. Returning to Eve and Im reading alot of forum threads. I see people run many accounts so I decided to utilize the 30 day trial to maximize my game time and experience. Can I use the same email for a trial account as this one? Any foreseeable problems in doing that? Or have you run into issues? thx

dont think you can use the same email unless your just adding another char to your main account, seperate accounts will need new email address.

depending what you want to do with the alt determines if its better to have it on its own account or not

The only problem you could face is that it is forbidden to continuously create trial accounts for the purpose of evading the consequences of your actions, such as using a large number of trial accounts to make disposable alts for free without having to worry about any consequences that character might face or even the time wasted on waiting to biomass a throwaway character.

The statement about separate emails is false. All of my accounts are on the same email address.

I've given myself a bunch of buddy invites using the same email address. At least 10. Never had a problem. 51 days free play time on the new account.

I made an amarr character but cannot seem to change his face- he looks like spock, from the old tv shows. wrinkled and what not. I see age or wrinkle setting but when apply it barely changes the old face. seems I can only change my appearance like im in a station. Am I missing something?

I am fairly certain that you do need a new email address for each free trial. This may have changed but it was the case when I started playing. Once you get the free trial you can change the account's email to your main email so they are all the same.

You can not have a trial account open at the same time as another client so if you want to run both accounts at the same time i.e. have one mine and one haul, then you will need to put time on that trial as well.

I don't think so. Each race seems to have a predefined face. You can adjust certain things like eyebrows, eyes, cheek depth, jaw, etc, but the unique feature cannot be removed. Kind of annoying.

And you can use the same email infinitely. You can also cycle trial accounts infinitely, although getting low sec status (such as by pulling concord or suicide ganking) is a dark grey line.
