30 days Concord Pilot License Extension

What is a PLEX?

A Pilot License Extension (PLEX) is an item that adds 30 days of game time to your EVE Online account. It can be converted from any game time code and, like any other item, it can be traded on the EVE market. Please keep in mind that PLEX cannot be moved between stations.

Why use PLEX?

PLEX offers an alternative way for people to pay for their subscription without the use of our more conventional payment methods. Using PLEX, pilots can earn game time simply by playing EVE.

The PLEX system improves on the current method of secure time code trading since it uses the EVE market to nerf price fixing. And since you can only sell time codes to people who want to play for that time, the system is capped.

PLEX is for everyone.

PLEX can be used by players regardless of the type of account they have. When you activate a PLEX, the extra time is added to your account immediately. In this respect, PLEX works exactly like a prepaid gamecard.

• If you are currently using a Trial account, your account is converted to a paying account and the 30 days are added onto the remaining days left in your trial period.
• If you have a recurring subscription, the 30 days are added onto your account and billing resumes as normal after that time.
• If you use game time codes to pay for EVE, PLEX adds days to your game time in exactly the same way.

Obtaining PLEX through Account Management

The following instructions are for players that wish to purchase PLEX directly from CCP using the Account Management page.

1. Log into Account Management
2. Click "Buy PLEX" in the Common Tasks column
3. Complete all fields of the PLEX Purchase Form
   • Only 2,4 or 6 PLEX may be purchased per 24 hours.
   • Only one purchase per 24 hours is allowed. If a player purchases 2 PLEX, they will have to wait 24 hours to buy another batch.
   • Each PLEX is valid for 30 days of game time.
   • Only credit cards will be accepted as payment for PLEX.

Reactivate the account with a Plex through Account Management

If you have an account that is disabled but you have a Plex that hasn't yet been redeemed, you can use it to reactivate the account.

1. Log into Account Management.
2. Choose to reactivate the account from the 'Common tasks' menu or by going to the 'Subscription details' section.
3. On the page where you choose the payment method an option will be given to redeem a Plex and reactivate your account.

Move a Plex back to redeemable items (reverse redeeming)

If you have a PLEX that is currently in game you can move it to redeemable items by right clicking the PLEX and select 'Return to redeem items'. This way the account can be reactivated at a later date by following the steps described above.

Redeem a Plex while ingame

1. Launch EVE Online
2. On Character Screen, click Redeem Items
   • The "Redeem Items" option is also available ingame at the bottom of the Options Window (ESC)
3. A dialog box will appear asking you to confirm the character/station the PLEX will be delivered to
   • When you log in, the PLEX will be in hangar at that station

How To Create Them from an ETC

Pilot licenses can only be created by characters that are docked in an NPC station. Outposts and conquerable stations are not eligible for that purpose.

To create a 30 day Concord Pilot License Extension, hereafter referred to as "PLEX, open the "ESC" game menu once logged in with your character and press the "Convert ETC" button which is located in the bottom left corner of the game menu window.

There appears a notification about the action you are about to perform and you asked to confirm the conversion by clicking on the "Yes" button.

You then type in the time code and press "OK.

Using a 60 day code gives you two 30 day PLEXes and the items appear on your hangar floor ingame.

How To Use Them

In order to use the PLEX to add subscription to your account, right click on the PLEX item while it is located in your personal hangar and select Apply 30 day pilots license. Please note that PLEXes cannot be activated while located in corporate hangars or in a container.

The item will disappear from the hangar floor and a notification about the 30 days being added will be shown to you.

Ingame Rules

PLEXes can be placed in private hangars, corporate hangars, in contracts, on the market and into direct trade windows.

PLEXes can be placed inside ships and containers, however if a PLEX is located in a ship, the player will not be able to undock in that ship.

PLEXes can not be moved out of the station where it was created and cannot be put into courier contract containers.

Be sure to check actual item in contracts and the actual price of the PLEX on offer. Also make sure to check prices for PLEXes in market buy and sell orders before accepting the transaction.

As with any policy, this is subject to change if deemed necessary.
