I have just been given 12 million. Have a nice day Big smile.


That would be the refund of the learning skills, as everyone who had them trained got.


I was given about 1mill SP for the training skills a I had racked up.

I see, must have got the skill queue and the offline SP training mixed up, been a while!


Or possibly the so-called "ghost training".

We also used to have ghost training where a skill would continue to train until the next level even if the account subscription ended. Quite a few people trained capital ships 5 as well as titan 5 that way.


I took four skillz from 4->5 during four seperate instances of ghost training, or "dark training" as it was sometimes called:
Caldari Cruiser
Battlecruiser (before it got split into separate racial skillz)
Caldari Battleship
Advanced Weapon Upgrades

But not four in a row, of course. The way it worked was, you had to re-subscribe for 30 days to train whatever, then at the end of those 30 days you'd set the long skill, then re-subscribe when your dark training was over, and train other skillz for 30 days, then set a new long skill just before your subscription lapsed. So all in all, I saved between 3.75 and 5 months of subscription time (Caldari Cruiser wasn't all that long), relative to the SP that I got. Distributed over almost a year of realtime I think. And I could have trained significantly faster, overall, for the first many years, if I had upgraded from +1 implants.

It amuses me to think the OP didn't train things while offline or staying logged in to 'finish his homework'. I'm not casting aspersions here, just sharing my thoughts.

However.... If you did get a load of SP because of 'idle paid time'.......
