So an account that already has a starter pack buy another starter pack? Not sure you understand what a starter pack is

maybe you haven't notice but amazon is selling it for 2.49 compared to the biggest aur bulk is about 30% cheaper.

2.49 for 750 aur x 40 == little under 100 dollars which is more than 21,200 aur that you pay 100 dollars for.

Still this....

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Just to add to what the others have already said, right from the Amazon page:

Amazon Exclusive Bonus Offer
When purchasing EVE Online: Starter Pack, please note the activation and game time is in the form of a CD-Key. This CD-Key can ONLY be used to upgrade new accounts or to upgrade trial accounts and cannot be used to extend the subscription time of existing full accounts of any activity status (active/inactive).

ie. You cannot use it on an existing account.

The temptation is great to try to bring clarity to this. However, Scipio is as good at this as anyone
and that didn't seem to work.

SO.... Head on over here and rock your socks off.

Because they don't include game time, they would have to be usable on any account. Whether or not they can be used multiple times, your best bet is checking with Support.

That being said... 750 AUR for $2.49 is a Hell of a deal: http://puu.sh/l39oR/ddd88b7fd9.png

The rest of the items in the content packs are pretty much junk, but if you're buying AUR and you can use those packs multiple times, it's worth it.

I spent seventy bucks to save twenty? Interesting economics.

about 29 but you dont have t o spend all 100$ to save the same amount the packs are a flat price that compares to the bigist bundle.

that being said each pack is 29-30% more aur compared to ccps biggest bulk.

and when amazons sale goes away it drops from 30 to 15% mroe aur.
