I had a question about making alt accounts trough steam. Is it possible to also purchase the Premium Edition for those accounts or will that only work on one?

Secondly, can a Premium Edition still be bought for a account that has already been activated to Omega using the Steams subscription plan?

I'm not 100 % sure but I think you can only ever have one Steam EVE account.

This also means that it's unlikely you can buy a Premium Edition after you have activated an account.

It is what my guess is to but I hoped otherwise.

I wanted to open the same amount of accounts on Steam as I normally had and have the main characters move to there. The reason for this is I can pay for my things on Steam using iDEAL.

I am really sad to see CCP still does not support this and as always greatly hinders my play ability of EvE.

I could just keep it to the single account I have now but that would mean I would have to keep buying plexes (who are more expensive then the regular subscription plan) and constantly trade with my other accounts. I am really not looking forward to this, or be a thief of my own wallet (the difference easily adds up to 70 euros per account on a yearly base)

If you're in the Euro zone there's gotta be better ways to pay a subscription
I.e. PayPal, vesa debt .... Folding a cheque into a paper aeroplane, something

iDEAL is the easiest and most secure for me so no thanks. I do not have a credit card and I do not plan on taking one. I used to be able and use PayPal but for some strange reason they keep asking for a credit card to, I tried solving this multiple times but with no luck.

PayPal used to use credit card as a secondary source but some time a few years ago they changed it to primary and the bank account to back up.

You can always just go to 7-Eleven and buy a prepaid card for 10 bucks and fill it periodically

My choice of pronouns is based on your avatar. Even if I know what is behind the avatar.

No thanks, I am not going trough that effort. Literately any company that deals with the Benelux these days offers secure iDEAL payments and it baffles me that CCP still refuses this.

I'll just continue to play diffrent MMO's then.
