Many of the people who came over from the EvE exodus will be around the 45 day mark when this is implemented. So it will be past the 30 day mark but still not far enough to have a major amount of EP. Having a grace period as suggested before would help these people greatly.

As for the fear of an older player using a reset to change to something else, can there be a cap implemented like you can redistribute up to 100k EP or so? Don't know how difficult that would be to implement but if you are worried about high EP characters switching and it having an adverse effect on the game, maybe the cap can be your solution.

This is something that is small and doesn't seem like a bug deal but can help in certain situations.

It would be cool to have a weight total at the bottom for corp storage and/or private storage so that those that are saving things in it to haul out later know what the totals are. I have one at an outpost that I save all the rat droppings in but it is pretty far out so I don't want to send my sequer guy out there until it is near 80U. I can add it up of course, but having that option would be a nice reference point.

Hopefully it is something small and can be done easily because it is not anything to commit heavy resources to but it would be a nice QoL addition.

They said since it is an issue that is out of their hands, it is no longer able to be asked about on the forums. So threads like I made asking to buy a time code or other threads made in the marketplace will probably get locked and deleted soon.

That was what I was referring to.

"However, since this is a trust based and unsafe transaction we do not support it and will not allow it to be promoted on our forums."

A question about that Zoom, are the SC prices going to be the same as before or will there be an increase in the fee? If so how come you guys don't lower your prices to match SC prices? You would get more profit than soliciting it through a third party and those who are able to can support your directly.

Is there a fee somewhere we don't know about or does there need to be a meeting to discuss price points? I would rather send everyone to you directly than Shattered but can;t really explain to them why the 1 year price is 20 dollars more on the main site than a 3rd party.

If the dev team knows a way, then it would be great to know since I know I personally wouldn't want to risk anyone's account.

I understand the lack of resources, but with Eve players coming in, you may want to keep scamming in mind.

IN a fair bit of irony, About a month ago I got back into EvE because I love the setting and immersion. I figured I would do the trial and get my fix and be done. But then I saw the buddy system and the free plex it gave out and saw how it was a secondary market here. I offered everything I could from making up the difference through farming to offering work and everything in between. I was called a scammer and a *** and everything else under the sun.

After about day 9 or so of that I gave up and didn't even play the rest of the trial. Then a couple weeks later the whole EvE fiasco happened and I ended up here. So maybe it ended up being a good thing. The people here have been really friendly and while I haven't got a concrete offer for a time code, noone has been rude or hostile about it. I still have 10 days(plus whatever extra the devs give for downtime) and I have a way to make a fair amount of money a day, so I am going to keep trying up until the end.

The hardest one to get will be the first one. Making Nic is limited, no trust has been established and many other factors. I am just hoping for that one good person and to make sure I can compensate them properly, hopefully after that, the rest will fall into place.

Expect when the bug with the relay system gets fixed those numbers to shoot up pretty substantially.

Pretty much just waiting for the scraps. It is very packed so all the mission areas will be camped. What I did was faced one section and tried to lock whatever popped there as fast as I could. It was still frustrating as hell but I had better success than trying to kill whatever I saw.

The good news is after your 10th training mission, you get an upgraded bot. The missions thin out a little but and killing isn't as bad.

Not gonna lie and tell you it won't suck for a few days but just stay in the spot until the people leave or you get your kills, whatever comes first. It does end up getting better after those first few missions.

(To the Devs, if this isn't ok, please delete or lock or whatever.)

Hi just figured it would be nice for trial accounts that are not able to pay for a month for whatever reason could make a deal with people who are willing to help out with codes.

Well guess I will start. I started on Friday and am really loving the game, never got into EvE past the trials but like the world and the immersion. I feel that same feeling here but am way closer to the "ground floor" then I could ever be in EvE.

Willing to work, trade whatever I have, do tasks or errands for whoever could help out with a code. Don't know the market so I guess I will just do it until the person feels the debt is paid. Have way more time than money so maybe I can help in some way.

My build is strictly for combat/missions but can give all the mats I get or do my best in other areas.

Send me a private message here or talk to me in game and let me know what I need to do. Will be happy to help with whatever I can. The least I can do for anyone nice enough to allow me to play the game past the trial time.

Thank You

As long as you guys officially state that you won't go after people who sell codes for in game items, I think the rest can be handled by the individual parties. The game is still small enough that anyone that tries to cheat someone out of a code would be ostracized.

Personally I would just like the chance and I know there are people who have stated they will sell codes so I would love to be able to continue to play and help them out for taking a chance on me. I know there are several that would like that chance too.

I don't want to put words in the devs mouths but I mean it already sounds that way, if you can just put somewhere that people who trade time codes for in game items won't be punished, it would help out a lot and then I can maybe start dealing with people who are skittish or wary about doing this.

Thanks again.

HI I was talking about this pretty extensively in chat and with the server issues and what not, I just figured I would leave it here and the devs could talk about it on their own time.

With EvE players coming over and just in general, there is a segment of the population that for one reason or another are not able to come up with the real life money to purchase time codes or are in some way restricted to purchasing time codes through normal means.

Because everyone's situation is different, this thread is not to judge why people can't come up with the money or method to pay. Instead this is to find alternative solutions that fall under the acceptable guidelines of the game.

I have seen devs say several different things about what constitutes an acceptable time code trade but I would like to see it posted here so we have some sort of "official" word on what is ok and what can get someone banned. I think the last thing that people want is someone getting banned for a generous act of helping someone get into the game that otherwise would not have been able to.

So if there could be some situations of what is ok and what is not on trading time codes for in-game items or for in game work agreements, that would help greatly.

Also any thoughts on ways to improve or future plans for a time code system using in game resources would be appreciated as well.
