Entire year at once, which is why it is cheaper than when you pay only 1 month at a time.

It charges once for the lump sum and gives you a year of game time.

Im curious about how to do this as well, as I dont use credit cards at all. So other than the grind, is there sub cards I can buy at a game store or any other option?



What J'Poll said is not entirely true. There is a physical card that you can get from the EVE Store. But beyond that I don't think you can get it at any other types of stores. Basically this is a ETC which J'Poll explained nicely above.

Using one of the authorized re sellers would be your next best bet.



By Eve store, Im assuming you mean online. If so, that still leaves my issue of not using credit cards. Im in a weird position because I squirrel my money away under my mattress. So no bank accounts, no credit cards etc. One way or another, I will be subbing to this game! I may have my fiancee use her card....i give her nuff money lol

She could order that card and then resell it to you for profit. Since it is physical product it can be resold as any other physical item. Blink

The entire year.

Also i'd like to say i've been down the play - 2- pay road before. Grinding level 4s with me 10 sp char back in the day. Ended up giving up the game months later because it's just not fun.

As everyone else has said,

If you can afford to pay with RL money then do so.

You want to play Eve to have fun, not to feel like you are in a second job.

Also, don't become a CEO as that also seems to turn playing Eve into a second job Blink

You may check if EVE works with gift cards that you can pick up at your local grocery store, ***mart, etc. They are often just prepaid credit cards and eve allows you to pay for a month at a time without automatic recharge.
