Greetings

I have decided to create an Alt account and I´d like to know what would be the best deal for me.

Maybe creating a referred account and get the 21 day trial in the alt and the 30 days bonus in the main once I upgrade the alt? I´d need to do it in a second user for that, tough. That has any downsides?

What I´d really could use is a Power of 2 promotion, but I have heard that with the recent skill extrac/inject items this offer won´t be offered again, dunno if its true.

Do I have some more choice to get some value?

Well it all depends on what you want to do with your alt really. Or how fast you want to fast track it to be a useful alt account.

I was going to say Power of 2 as I always loved that but maybe it is gone, I havent heard anything either way but would be too bad.

Then your other issue is how much cash/isk up front you want to dump into your alt as well. This is really now your limiting function tbh. After that is decided you can either cash to plex/injectors or isk for those and plug in the injectors and the skills you want and voila you got your alt account ready to go in 30 mins or so.

Have you heard anything I've said?

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

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

I've always used the Invite A Friend program for all my alt accounts.

I can't be bothered to wait around for some deal that will save me pocket change.

Believe me, if you're quibbling about miniscule amounts of money such as what this game requires if you just go ahead and pay the fare, then you probably should be spending the time you're playing this (or any other) game acquiring the education and skills to become viable in the job market, and eligible for wages (or a salary, of all things) large enough to make things like EVE Online a place where you spend your discretionary income.

We love you as customers. But, if the only way you can "afford" to play EVE is to spend all this time (not for OP) grinding for PLEX, you really are better off spending that same time getting some sort of training...and judging by the language usage found these days, an EDUCATION OF SOME SORT. And, if your country's economic system is so screwed up you can't get an education, or you wind up with a lifetime of debt while they sell you one, then that might be something that requires your active participation so maybe your descendants can have some discretionary income themselves.

TYVM. Have a nice day!

I don't know when people turned into starving pigeons trying to get stuff either super cheap or free and calling it value.
So many threads with people wondering how they can scab more or upset that they can't.

Well, I have a good job that would allow me for paying some quite more extra accounts and plexes, if I were in need, wich is not the case because I´m actually plexing my account, with the two additional slots for alts wich I´m actually milking with skill extractors; everything with ingame currency.

In fact If am interested in an Alt account is because I have been recommended so for the exclusive use of capitals wich is something I want to try since I have the funds.

I was just wondering If someone knew better about the promotion Power of 2, wich has been something usual in the past, or If there were any other offer wich I didn´t knew for inmediate use.

Guess that some people has got rich either ingame or IRL spending mindlessly, and without trying to optimize the investments, but for me it has required some degree of involvement.

I highly appreciate the answers, thank you very much.
