Hi, I was wondering if purchasing the premium edition code would allow me to activate it on my current account?
Started playing a week ago.

Thank you ! :)

Here's the EVE helpdesk answer. Basically, no, if you buy the Premium Edition it will require you to create a new account for it, and then create a new character on that account.

It may still be worth it to you, since the only thing that you lose is a week of skill training time, I'm assuming at Alpha speeds. So that's 4 days of training time at the Omega speed that the Premium Edition will give you.

Items and ships that you've gathered on your current character, as well as the ISK, are easily transferable to your new character. Just search for the new character name in People and Places and right-click and Give Money to transfer your ISK, and for the items and ships open the Contracts interface and create an Item Exchange contract that is Private - restricted to the name of your new character.
