Reddit reviews EVE Online Core Starter Pack [Online Game Code]

The "premium" one, not at all. The $10 one: yes

Basically difference between the $10 standard and $50 "premium" version is that the premium comes with like 20 million isk in free ships/modules and a plex worth 850 million.

The big thing that makes starter packs desirable is the Cerebral Accelerator which significantly boosts the rate at which you train skills (and get up to speed) during your first month. If your still willing to spend $40 on EvE I'd reccomend buying the $10 starter and a pair of plex worth 1.6 Billion ISK.

You can use the link to create another new account. There's no limit on the number of accounts you can create with it. If you subscribe, he'll have the option between getting a PLEX (~1 bil ISK) or 30 days of game time.

However, as for whether or not you can also use the Starter Pack with it, I don't think so. Most (possibly all) of those packs only work on accounts created with the pack, so you can't double-up on your friend's link with them.

Edit :: Is this particular starter pack the one you're talking about? It looks like you might be able to (emphasis is mine):

> This product can only be used to create a new EVE Online account or to upgrade an existing trial account, and cannot be applied to existing paid accounts.

Unfortunately, as I've never used one of the starter packs, I have no knowledge of how to properly apply them. Hopefully someone else will come along who can provide better info on that particular aspect.

I'd like to add that Amazon has the same steam deal and you can apply it to a regular (read: non-Steam) account.

edit2: also if you haven't read www.isktheguide.com then you should probably get to that.

• PC: EVE is a pretty low-stress game on your computer. I can run at max settings in a large battle and maintain about 30 frames. My PC isn't the best, but it was about $1200. You can run what we lovingly call "potato mode" on just about anything.
  
  
• Open world: If you can get there without getting shot, you can get there. On top of that, it's not like WoW where the mobs are going to kill you for wandering into a more dangerous area.
  
  
• No steam. Nooooooooooooooooooo steam. I can't speak to other deals, but if you play this game for a year and pay a $15 sub the whole time, you have to put up with a year of steam to save 5%. You can also get the same deal on Amazon^(1).
  
  
• Reading: EVE-University articles on their Wiki are super helpful. Also, there are a lot of really interesting lore stories out there like the Chronicles. I've honestly only read 3 of them, but they were all good. Inferno was probably my favorite. As for other resources, you can learn a LOT about the game from YouTube. The best EVE video producers are a corp called Rooks and Kings. They are very good at explaining things. I'd personally recommend The Drebuchet, The False Tower, Clarion Call 3, and The Anatomy of a Fight, but the rest of their stuff is good too.
  
  
• Voice: Teamspeak is big in smaller corporations. In giant ones, they kinda have to use mumble just because it supports more users better.
  
  
• American: It's the internet. There are a lot of jackasses. Just don't be annoying and you'll be fine. I'm also an American, but I'm from Minnesota, so that makes me nicer than you.

Get it from amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MXD6ERU/ref=s9_ri_bw_g367_i9?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-4&pf_rd_r=1F62EEKSS7X9HMQHD63J&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1983152982&pf_rd_i=7266959011

You can activate I later.

Basically these.. and what you get is what they deemed equivalent because some of the things these codes gave you are not in game anymore.. there is a spot in account management to redeem codes like this but these are invalid because of the changes however as I said they will still honor them, it just needs to be done manually via petition.

I dont have the Steam version, that is why I am asking if I buy this: (http://www.amazon.com/Online-Core-Starter-Pack-Game/dp/B00MXD6ERU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1459089897&sr=8-5&keywords=eve+online) will it be able to be redeemed as the Steam version?

actually if your in the US, get the Starter pack off Amazon, gives you 30days of game time and some other stuff. Its on sale right now for 99cents

Here's a link for you

This for 3 TF2 keys? I can go first

First iff it would be best to use a referral from someone to get the 21 day trial, then look out for some starter kits, there are sometimes some for 5 Euro/ 5 Dollar, which also activates your account and gives you some starting items.

Here would be an example for amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Online-Core-Starter-Pack-Game/dp/B00MXD6ERU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1418380330&sr=8-4&keywords=Eve+Online

Amazon is also selling the EVE Online Core Starter Pack for $5.00 and the add-ons for $1.25 each.

That seems to be the way to go, now that Mad Orc is sold out.

Two things come to mind, I believe the issue you're having is the 2nd:

1. The address you're using must be a US one.
   
   
2. If you're trying to upgrade a trial account you have to purchase a starter pack and not simply gametime.

/u/Dobraine91 just let me know in my comment that they updated the prices, $5 for the starter pack and $25 for the deluxe!

they are $5 for the prototype accelerator

It's actually more affordable in the long run and early game to pony up for a plex. starter packs are notoriously bad


this one though : is best : this one though with the accelerator

still plex is best cause plex is 20 and that is 20 and... you get the idea.
