Buddy program

What is the Buddy Program?

The Buddy Program allows existing subscribers to send an invitation to try EVE Online to friends, family and fellow gamers. The trial time starts from the time of activation and it ends 21 days later regardless of actual time logged on the game.

Why use the Buddy Program?

The Buddy Program offers an extended trial period. New players signing up with a buddy invitation will have 21-days to experience EVE Online. As an added incentive, for each buddy that converts to a monthly subscription, you’ll earn 30 free days of game time.

How do I send invites?

1. Log into Account Management
2. Click the Buddy Program Invites button under Common Tasks
3. Enter the email address of the buddy you would like to send the trial offer to and click Submit

It is important that the buddy uses the link, which is given in the email, to create the trial account.

Done with the trial and looking to Subscribe?

To extend your account once the trial time has expired, go to the Account Management section and login with the username and password of your account. Click the "Extend Trial Account" link in "Common Tasks". From there you can sign up for a permanent subscription. Note that the first charge will be $19.95 for the account extension and purchasing EVE, after which the regular subscription prices apply. You do not have to buy a copy from a retail store to become a subscriber.

Have fun.
