Switching from Trial to special edition copy

ZhangloZhanglo Member Posts: 24
in EVE Online

So I bought the special edition copy of eve and everytime it tells me to put in the time code, it tells me that if I want the "special" items from the disk-I have to go under "new user" and go from there.  I've tried this a handful of time; but keep getting the same message.

Is it because I tried the 14 day trail first?  I'll start over if I have to.  Since my name and all is on eve as an expired account.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! I just want to play this game!!!

    There are 3 things you can do with the supplied GTC (game time code/card) in the box.

    Start a new account and get the special items. The items are a limited edition Interbus/Gallente shuttle with double the cargo space (they carry barely anything in the first place, but are fast) and a voucher you can redeem with any of the 4 empires to increase your standings with them, allowing you to immediately enter Factional Warfare (and other things?).

    Activate a trial account. Pretty much just that. You keep your character and the time you've invested in him/her. The special GTC bestows no extras and is just a normal GTC. There is a slight play time/$ gain if you run the numbers over activating with a payment.

    Pay $ to activate your account and keep the GTC. Why would you want to do that? Because you are allowed to convert the GTC to an in game item and sell it to other players. Normal going rate for 30 days is 350M ISK.

    I'd love to know where you sell plex for 350mill... I buy mine at the "market average" of 280 every month for the last 6 months. Maybe I sould sell them where you do and make 100mill every time!

     

    Edit:

    Thanks for the relies guys! 

    But is it because my name is on from the trial that it wont work?  I've tried changing my user name around....but nothing!

    Go to the eve account management page on the website, click on the Subscription Details page, then click on the Change Payment Method link, and then use the cd-key option.

     

    Edit: Not sure if that will net you the bonus, but it probably gives the bonus if the account was a trial account.
