how active are the sales here? Is it easy to get isk vs fg and fg vs isk?

Also, how long does the trial last with a referral code? I'm working so I may not have too much time during the week, it'd be nice if it lasted through both weekends.

If an account goes inactive after using just the free trial, how long do I have to get a time card before beginning?

How much fg do you need to afford a time card (if going fg isk timecard, if fg timecard isn't done often)

Also, if I just start... how many months will it be if I'm doing missions or mining at nights to afford time cards on my own?

Thank you.

trial with the referral is 21(?) days


as for the time cards(PLEX) they cost roughly 350m isk, after 1-3 months(depending on how competent you are) you can start to make that pretty easily

as for the isk > fg > isk bit, i believe its roughly a 3:1 ratio(300000 isk to 1 fg) so you'd need a bit over 1k fg to get enough isk to get a month of game time



make note, if you sit in empire all day, you won't make a ton of cash, and if you go to lowsec or nullsec, you will get killed several times while learning how to survive out there, and if you're an idiot you'll just always die regardless of how much time you spend out there

be a good sport when people gank you, and they might let ya get away with your egg(you're a lil clone guy in a gooey delicious egg that then sits inside a space ship.... fun right?)

you can also buy 2x plex from the eve site they cost about $30 and you can make close to 700 mills traight up the real problem is traing time it takes a while to get up to a decent pvp lvl month minimum for battlecruirer/t2 frigs if you got the cash i reccmend you buy a char with 15-20 mill skill points to play on while you train
also if your noob you want make shit all gold in 0.0/null sec because you will loose more ships then you will make in isk i recomend you get yourself in a wormhole corp the pvp isnt as laggy its more stealth/ninja based combat and sleeper sites can make you a tone of isk o/o corps get owned in wormhole space because they cant get there big ships in to dominate the systems and stay away from russians in eve they are bad news

No no, it's 1 million isk per 3 forum gold.

Also, for the first 2 months or so, the only good way to make money or do anything is by Ninja Salvaging (aka getting a ship with salvager I's, a destroyer preferably and warping into someones ratting area and salvaging their wrecks)

Mining isn't a good way to make money. Hauling however can kick ass with a sweet blockade runner.

If you don't mind ratting to raise your security status you can also suicide gank industrial ships hauling things around on thrasher. I've gotten quite a few goodies including PLEX, t2 ships, modules, and lots of ore.

I don't want to be an outlaw (lots of hi-sec war targets all the time and it makes getting stuff much easier) so I need to rat to keep from going too low in security standing.

But it's fun destroying industrials in two shots and having your alt pick up the stuff

think it's easier to ask who's doing 4s in HMM and ask to salvage for a % split.

e: made my first 50m doing that in 2 or 3 hours.
