It's amazing to think it will be better to buy plex than sub

Edit: my bad im an idiot, the 50% apply on sub as well !

The language is confusing.

"Further celebrations include massive discounts on Core Starter Packs (75% off), Premium Editions including PLEX (50% off), Content packs, PLEX and subscriptions. "

so, core starters get 75% off, Premium edition including a plex ($49.99) gets 50% off, then it doesnt say the reduction on subs, PLEX and content packs, just that there will be one

Fluffy Bunny Pic!

But will we be able to do it in the account management page? Is this a steam thing? Details por favor.

no details of if it's only in the US from Amazon (yet)

additionally,
the AUR special shows the double free AUR rate at the top,
but on the Buy section (selections), the free rate is not doubled.
(could be a coding perk, but , you know, computers are designed to record that, it lowers the risk of errors.)

The wording implies that it's for Steam only. I hope they will have similar deals for the rest of us.

In the unlikely event it turns out to be steam only.
Make an Eve steam account, buy plex, contract them to main steam account. shutdown steam eve account.
Break even on this is 2 plex, so you would have to buy more than two.

I broke this up in to sections cos the op got a lil to happy.

Core Starter Packs (75% off) - if you start a new account with this you can not upgrade to the premium edition and this is 75% off.


Premium Editions including PLEX (50% off) - This is most likely a DIGITAL copy of Eve Online Second Decade Collector's Editon, of which includes a plex and this has a 50% off.

Content packs, PLEX and subscriptions will most likely have a sale too but I doubt it will be 50% off of plexes, at most it'll probably be like the plex sale we just had outside of steam.

PLEX has reacted with a price increase :)

Seems to me that Premium Editions including PLEX (50% off) - are similar to
"the DIGITAL copy of Eve Online Second Decade Collector's Editon, of which includes a plex and this has a 50% off..."
and
maybe a new offer or version.

As for the rest, they very well may be designed for the Citadel special, which , quite frankly, is the biggest update since EVE started, and may very well be for quite some time.
I mean, those things are huge, and then, there is the one that is even bigger than those huge ones and that only one group can have any one those at any one time, while no other groups can have any one, which will make for 24/7 fighting to have the one , and be the one that has it.

I got my PLEX for my first PLEXed account (with screenshots to keep record of it as proof, which I will turn to Read-Only mode after this post, and make backup copies...) for 969,999,999.98 ISK.
There was one PLEX sold at 940m a few hours before.
That covered for my incursion pilot who is the highest bread income earner at this time for another 30 days.

English is hard I know... But it clearly is not plex at 50% discount. Only the premium edition will be discounted 50%. I highly doubt plex will be discounted more than 10%

You can't deny the wording was made to confuse people, but the sale is indeed 10%

Even the sceptics will be proven wrong, as the saying goes.
