so i had this free trial thing i did a couple of months ago. I was thinkin of starting the game back up in hopes it would be where i left it off. Was prepared to by a plex and dive in. I sign into my account, verify my email, and it makes me start the game over again. i havn't payed for anything yet.

I just want to know how i can start up my old chr again. i would hate to do all that shit over again.

maybe it was just a trial account....do trial accounts become main accounts when the trial is over?

I am not too sure, I think trial accounts stay there so you can reactivate, but are you sure you used the right login? Try the account recovery

inside your eveonline account will be an "activate account" for 4 hours to allow players that have in game currency to purchase and plex and update the time on there account.

And trial account beacome unactive after trial period unless you either extend it by paying the monthly fee or use plex.
