Account Services
Hours for PLEX: Free with Existing Account
Game Time: 4 hours. You are given 4 hours of game time to go in game and redeem a PLEX for subscription time. Useful if you forgot to add a PLEX to your subscription or you want to buy a PLEX with your current in-game isk. Note using this option to redeem Buddy Rewards to add subscription time is prohibited.
Transfer Character: $20.00
This one is simple if you want to transfer a character to another account it costs $20.00 or you could also use a PLEX to use this service.
Multiple Character Training:$19.95 or 1 PLEX for 30 days of activation.
Adds the option to train one(or two for 2 PLEX) additional character(s), in addition to the already active training que for your main character.
Resculpt Character: 1 PLEX
If you want to redesign your characters look, maybe change the gender. Does this include a name change? I don't think so. Anyway to do this you have to use a PLEX which costs $19.95 so resculpt is the same price as transferring a character basically.
AUR:$5 for 600 AUR(Large packages are available)
Aurum (AUR) is a virtual currency that can be used in EVE to purchase items from the Noble Exchange. These items include a range of exclusive apparel that can be worn by your capsuleer or traded to others for ISK on the in-game market. Aurum can be acquired by converting PLEX into AUR, or by purchasing and converting Aurum Tokens.So there you have it. How much does it cost to play Eve Online? Well it depends where and when you buy the game. Keep an eye out for specials especially if you have or want multiple accounts active. There is always some new special coming out.
