Game Purchase on a Free Trial
Was just curious if I were to do a free trial and decide to subscribe to the game is there a purchase required of the game software, or can I just upgrade and pay for whatever sub plan I want?
Comments
I think when you upgrade from trial, you also get 1 month free... then after that month you can decide if you will buy a subscription plan or a PLEX offer... keep in mind that you can buy a PLEX ingame for ingame money.
there is no purchase required for the game
If you go via the 14day (or 21 day trial ) then your game just ocntinues either use a Credit card subscription via the account management or use a Game time card both will put the account into full account mode
So how you subscribe dont matter, but you dont need to buy the game, if you do buy a box set you get 30days (or might even be 60days ) of subscirption with it.

If you havent started then that link will give you a 21 day trial, then if you do subscribe i will also pay you 50% of what ever a plex costs in game as a bonus (i get 30days free if you subscribe ) so i will happily split 50/50
If you do subscribe send an evemail to Quazal Atreides (ig) to let me know then will confirm and send ya some free iskies.
This post is all my opinion, but I welcome debate on anything i have put, however, personal slander / name calling belongs in game
where of course you're welcome to call me names im often found lounging about in EvE online.

Good stuff, thanks. Might have to check it out for sure. Been reading the stuff on the game like races and ships, etc. Not sure what race I wanna do. :O
Message me and i can give you 21day trial instead of 14
You starter race has 0 bearing on anything other than possibly role playing
The biggest issue is about what race of ships, but to decide this i tend to think of the 4 races as generic below
1 Caldari - Mainly Mission running or PvP they are Ewar Main user of missiles, in pvp missiles tend to be weak, but great at pve
2 Amarr - Great Armor boats, used very well in large fleets, usually highest dps
3 Minmatar - Great for speed, most of hteir boats are speed freeks, they also have the hardest hitting ammo, but take the longest time between cycles
4 Gallenete - Generally middle of the line - Not best at anything, but certianly not worse, Good (or great) dps, but need to get up into your opponents face for their blasters to really take effect

Nice summary. How hard would it be to get to the point of being able to pilot let's say, Minmatar boats, as a Caldari? Think I like the Caldari philosophy the most, but not a fan of missiles. Like projectiles or the hybrid (?) weapons
There are lots of smaller ships that are pure awesome
Ship sizes generall are
Battlecruiser and upward are large or capital
So cruiser and below are small.
Flying the smaller ships you have the heavy assault cruiser, or any of the T3 ie tengu etc.
Personally my ALL time favourite ship was(and still is) the deimos nicknamed "die-most" for a reason, glass cannon personified
But flying small ships does not limit you to anything, even assault frigates have an awesome place, especially since the change in the mechanics etc, you wont see many pirate gatecamps without the odd assualt frigate, but like someone said it really depends on what your planning
PvP yes small definatly have important place
PvE not so much, but can still earn a fair few iskies, but having the Battlecruiser ship skills would really be a minimum for this

I worked my way up to Caldari Battleships many many many years ago (late '06/early '07?). To this day, and for the vets that can do the math - yes, I haven't kept a steady sub that entire time, my char has over 90 million Skill Points and can't fly anything larger than that aforementioned Battleship class hull. Okay, I own and can fly a Charon (can also fly a Rhea if someone wants to buy me one
, but those are cargo haulers not combat ships. But I can fly any frig/cruiser sized hull from any race and fit it all to hell.
The only reason I worked up to BS class was for ISK making via Level 4 Missions. I've never flown over a Battlecruiser sized ship in PvP and prefer Frigates.
And you don't have to go the Missile route for Caldari - they also do Hybrids rather well. Missiles have just been known to be the ammo of the PvE/Mission gawdz for years but even that isn't true so much anymore. Other weapon systems handle PvE rather well and even missiles aren't as horribad as they used to be for, at least, small scale PvP engagements (so I'm told...) >.> <.<
GL HF Fly Safe!
