How is starting a trial account expensive?

That's 30 days before having to sub.

Alternatively just 1 PLEX for dual character training.

The only skillbooks needed being Gallente Destroyer and later on Jury Rigging, Small Blaster Specialisation and Hybrid Rigging under the plan.

Seems a much better option than Character Bazaar.


The extraction/injection process is tied to Aurum, which in turn is tied to PLEX prices. So it will likely be a wash between buying complete characters and buying extraction/injection skill points. Markets will likely price all this in as well as a convenience markup.

I'm not commenting on the creation of alts or trial accounts. Only comparing character buying and skill point injection, and saying that they are probably equivalent in pricing.

There is no extraction/injection process for this.

What are you referring to?

Edit. What is probably the wrong question, since what you are referring to is obvious. Better question is why are you referring to the extraction/injection process to roll a new alt and train Gallente Destroyers I to have an effective ganking character in 15 minutes from creation?

I'm referring to my complete lack of reading comprehension of the original post. Obviously.

I predict a new era for highsec. When every man and his spacedog can roll a new gank alt in time to intercept that juicy freighter that you've spotted at the start of his route, things are going to get messy. You could now grab your corp/alliance and VERY easily make an event out of it. With a 15 min train, there's now no excuse for not participating.


Aren't they fixing hyperdunking, though, to make it impossible to "intercept that juicy freighter" with a single (newly created) alt?

Clearly, for once CCP need to do it right and create an artificial queue delay for the character creation expression and portrait phases, to prevent this sort of abuse where a large suicide-ganking alliance can call up a 5 AM character-creation CTA to intercept said freighter during his route. Only by limiting (at the server) the number of characters that can be created in any 1-hour period for the entire playerbase can there be any sort of balance on the risk/reward for the freighter pilot.

I do understand that CCP would lose half their playerbase if an obvious queue is implemented, though; nobody likes to wake up at 5 AM to be presented with a queue countdown timer forcing them to stare at the slack-jawed expression of their soon-to-be-but-not-quite-yet glorious gank alt. So instead of an actual queue, perhaps the character creation process can be placed under 10% TIDI, specifically to hide the queue but achieve the same effect.

Just be be clear guys, don't REroll gank alts, that's not what I'm advocating and isn't looked upon kindly. Make your new alt, now he's yours. Congrats, it's a gallente ganker!

There once was a ganker named tisi

A stunningly beautiful missy

To gank a gross miner

There is nothing finer, cept when they get all pissy

This is a fantastic new development. Some friend of mine recently started to play EVE. If he did not already quit because of boredom I will introduce him to the sandbox with a nice evening of miner dunking. Good times
I guess you missed the point. They got bored playing like you.

Management finally hit the wall. We told yah it was comin' but YOU wouldn't believe us.

What's next, turn the dev program over to a middle school programming seminar?
"Practice with EVE. Nobody cares!"

I am not sure what you are even talking about. Are you sure you replied to the right post? Are you drunk?

I waited a whole month before trying the instabbq trick. This is maybe why missions make me gurn still - it's a form of PTSD from the rookie days. Although I just undocked from the starter station and shot another rookie (and missed). Still mad I couldn't mine him to death. Only took two suicide attempts to get him to shoot back. We spent ages ramming each other and had our own little crowd of sniggering onlookers and a small field of rookie ship wrecks. Bit annoyed we couldn't pod duel, I seem to recall some pod grinding and challenges issued. Didn't glumface, it was probably the most fun I'd had til that point. I did biomass the alt tho, the standings were trashed.

Then went back to mining zzzz least there's plenty to read whilst you're mining. Think it was actually the forums that made me sub, not the game.
