EVE Online 'Power of 2' subscription offer returns
War is coming. Whispers across the great expanse of space haunt the communication channels of those who would tune-in. Nations are moving with the sheer force and destructive potential of tectonic monstrosities, the outcome of which can only mean one thing. The EVE universe is about to change. It's up to iron willed pilots such as you to determine that fate.The Empyrean Age propaganda machine is already in full effect, and the recruitment drive has begun. CCP Games just sent out that communique above to 'Veteran' EVE Online subscribers. CCP has decided to bring back the Power of Two promotion for EVE Online, at least for those players who have taken advantage of the offer in the past. The Power of Two offer allowed a subscriber to open a second account, with six months of prepaid game time for $49.95, but only gave a small window of opportunity in which a player could sign up. The current offer, now dubbed a 'Veterans Package,' is really the Power of Two reloaded. It allows those who qualify to resurrect an inactive second account and give 6 more months of life to an alt, at that same rate of $49.95. The limited-time offer remains valid through June 27th, which coincides with the Empyrean Age expansion that goes live earlier in the month. No official announcement has been made at the EVE Online site yet, but players have already caught on to the Veterans Package offer.
CCP encourages players to master their own destiny, double box
Never let it be said that CCP doesn't support their hardcore players. They've announced a program for EVE Online dubbed "The Power of Two" that will give existing players the ability to subscribe to a second account at a reduced price for six months. Players have to act quickly however, as the deal expires by the end of the week."Be the captain of your very own fleet and master of your own destiny! Current EVE Online subscribers may purchase a second account and get the first six months for a reduced price. Log in and follow the link to take advantage of this special, but hurry! This offer ends November 4th."For most MMOs, this sort of scheme would be useless to players, as you could just roll a new character on your existing account if you were really keen on having another avatar in-game. With EVE's passive skill leveling system, not to mention the ways players can make money through corps, having two accounts and/or double-boxing it can actually yield significant results. At least, if you have that kind of time.[Via WarCry]
