What is PLEX?

EVE Online is different than other massively multiplayer games. The setting is Science Fiction, not Fantasy based. EVE does not employ sharding which splits content and resources between players. All players can interact with each other if they choose to do so. It also means that if you are famous in EVE, you are known by the EVE community, not by the population of one game server. In the game of EVE you pay for your monthly supscription with the ingame currency visa/versa you can trade a monthly supscription for ingame currency.

Trading an GTC (game time code) for ingame currency is known as purchasing PLEX (Pilot License Extensions). To do this you buy an EVE-Online 60 day game card and log into your account to convert the code into a PLEX.

Select the character you wish to receive the PLEX/es and wait for the screen to load. If the character is not docked in a station, then dock and open the game menu by pressing the "ESC" button.

Press the "Convert ETC" button which is located in the bottom left corner of the game menu window. A window will open where you can enter the game time code. A notification will be displayed about the action you are about to perform asking to confirm the conversion by clicking on the "Yes" button. Type in or paste the game time code and press "OK.. A notification will be displayed informing you of the successful conversion of a game time code into a PLEX.

Exit the game menu and in your hangar you will find two PLEX/es, provided that you converted a 60 day time code. One PLEX equals 30 days of game time, so creating a PLEX from a 60 day code will give you two PLEX/es.

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 pilot.s license..

The item will then disappear from the hangar floor and a notification about the 30 days being added will be shown to you. Keep in mind that PLEX/es cannot be activated while located in corporate hangars or containers.

In order to sell the PLEX to add ISK(in game currency) to your account, You sell PLEX in a contract. To create a contract, please right click the object (PLEX) in your hangar and select .create contract.. Please select the item exchange type and select its availability. Click .next.. Select the item, choose how much you want to receive for the PLEX code, click next. *Make sure that the price is correct. Click finish, and the contract will be made available. Thank watch your balance go up.

If you have any problems or questions regarding the use of PLEXes, then please contact EVE-Online customer support through the petition system or direct e-mail: support@eve-online.com and CCP will assist you as soon as possible.
