No. Once trial is over, it's over. And the only way to continue on the same account is to pay at least for one month of game time. If you have good friends in game someone might be willing to buy a plex and either give it to you or just activate it for you using option to donate. But as you are new player on trial, that most probably won't happen. So you need to wait until you'll get money to reactivate your account, or start one more trial while you can't extend present account.

Once you get paid, you can just log into secure.eveonline.com with expired trial account's credentials, and restart that account as a full paid one - you dont loose anything that way.

You can extend your trial with $15 or a PLEX. Maybe if you were dating a CCP employee there might be a way that you could work it out but other than the first two options that I posted I am aware of no other.

Well you could pay by the year which would bring it down to something like $10.88 a month but the point remains.

Just log into Account Management for your current trial account on Friday and pay to upgrade it to full.

You won't be able to log into the game between tomorrow and Friday, but I believe they let the skills train for a couple days on expired accounts, so maybe you won't even lose training time. Just queue up a long training skill that will take 2 days or so.

EDIT: Otherwise, if you don't care about the character you've built so far, and just want the items / ISK, you can create another trial account and another character, and once both are docked at the starting station (make sure it's the same race so you get the same station), create an Item Exchange contract to send the items and the cash from one to the next.

People typically want to keep the character, though; what little cash you get in the beginning is easily replaceable.

Given that many people in the game play the same characters for 10 years losing 3 days SP is not really a big issue.

If you simply cannot possibly be away from EVE for those 3 days Plan B probably involves opening a second trial and playing that for a few days then transferring all its "stuff" to your main account once it is subbed.

The 5$ content packs now come with an additional 20 days of trial (plus some other stuff)


It leaves you with the trial restrictions though. (the days convert over to regular days, if/when you subscribe)

If I remember it right this is a bit of misinformation. Character on a trial account can't create a contract and he even can't trade money. Actually you even can't log onto two trial accounts from the same computer at the same time. All these things are done to prevent RMT.

That is definitely worth a look-see. I forgot they even existed. 5 bucks for 20 days, 750 aurum and some tech I odds-and-sods. Not bad at all.

Where is this sort of deal for people who have been subbed for over a decade? I would even graciously forego the tech I odds-and-sods.
