I downloaded EVE and I LOVE IT. It's my favorite game ever and I really want to pay for the subscription because I am on the 14 day trial. I noticed there was a Steam Eve starter bundle for 4.99$ (US) and I was wondering if I could use a Steam card to pay. I can't use PayPal and I don't have a credit card either. I have this 20$ Steam card that I was gonna use to buy the starter pack, but will it link to my trial account? I already have an upgraded Gallente Algos and a bunch of skills done and I would hate to repeat them all. Can I use Steam money in any way to pay for the subscription while keeping my current account data? I don't care if I have to do it through the website or Steam itself I just don't have PayPal or a card. (I do not mind if I cannot get the starter pack I just noticed it was an awesome deal for the 1 month subscription.)

Congrats on making it here, you bloody trolls. Done making fools of yourselves or are you just getting started?

I'd file a petition for this just to be sure, but I don't think you can.

I believe in order to pay through Steam you need to create the account through Steam when you first set up your account.

I could be wrong, so I do recommend filing a petition under the billing category to be sure. Steam and Eve gives me a headache Cry.

As far as I know, the starter bundles require creation of a new EVE Online account, so you won't be able to use a starter bundle to extend the game time on an existing account.

You can buy EVE Online PLEX through the Steam store. They are about $19.95, getting cheaper as you buy more in one go.

The steam version will require to make a new account.

You won't be able to upgrade your trial account via Steam.
