Didn't there used to be a notification on the log in screen when your acct got down to less than 10 days left on the sub?


Did that get removed for a particular reason, am I just imagining it, did I miss something?




Can we get that back(added as the case may apply)?


Pretty handy QoL improvement for those of us with many accts that may not all be synced up perfectly for one reason or another and pay our subs for large time chunks at a time. I feel like that should be something Eve tells me.... not have to rely on Evemon to tell me.

I'm not getting into the whole pay by X, Y, or Z on X, Y or Z timetable with or without plex/card/etc.


Just the issue where in the character selection page, with all the other stuff it has on there about chars, account redeemable's, etc, should have(And I'm pretty sure USED to have) a notification banner when your acct was about to expire. Frankly THAT is far more useful information to me than whether or not I have fireworks sitting in the redeem queue.

that was for multiple training certs, for that you get a little thingy up the top left but sadly nothing for the normal sub.
to see your remaining game time you have to go to the account management page and look at the next payment date.

its arse backwards i know but :ccp:.

PLEXed accounts have this, too.

But yeah, as someone who buys 3-12 months at a time for each account, depending on what I can afford, I'd like to have this

Alphas have 'less than one day' on their log in screen forever.

Sounds like something that should also be fixed then.

Buying a full subscription fixes this. If it bothers someone - they can pay to have it removed.

Or they can just fix the UI because it is broken for payed accounts as well.

This information should clearly be in the login screen and also in the character sheet.

^ This. I wasn't aware it was broken on Alpha's. My main concern is it being fixed on Omega's, but while we're here.... may as well.

Those dates also are almost never accurate from my experience, once when I was looking at my sub date it specified 1 date, when I logged into my account a few days later the date had changed, so later I looked again and I had a 3rd expire date on my sub.

CCP could never explain what was going on with my sub date for my account they just told me what my sub date was and they left it at that. forced me to mark my dates down when I started using plexes because of them being lazy.

I'm good w/ fixing Omega stuff. My comment was limited to the best fix for the alpha clones (buy a subscription if you want better playing conditions).

If you search my posting history and cross that with 'pay for the account' you may see an emerging trend across any post where those filthy non paying alpha beasts try to take a seat at the paying customer table.

Looks like it is even more broken that I thought.

I let the subs laps on two accounts to sync them up for the SP extraction and because I don't have the time to play at the moment anyway. Now one of them shows the "Less than one day" and the other still shows nothing. Probably because the one was always PLEXed and the other had a subscription some time ago
