9/21/2023 0 Comments Eve online forums![]() ![]() Playing to play, aka earning in game PLEX with isk, is doable though a lot harder for newer characters than most people think and can turn into a physical/mental wall for players trying to always make isk for plex and the constant need kind of like having to earn income to keep the lights, heat and roof over your head in real life. Though if your fun IS making income then alpha limits this, yet to learn the game and do anything or everything Eve offers to some degree is possible with Alpha status. In Eve doing things and doing things well or efficiently, like in RL, will determine your income levels but not your fun level. and frankly, by the time you get there you will probably do what most of us do, and keep paying a for your main account and use the plex for alts as you want or need them. and once you know how to do that, you will know how plausible it is for you to start plexing your account. eventually you will learn how the game works, and how best to make isk. if you enjoy it enough that you want to keep going, then shell out for a month or three of omega and see how much better that is (answer, its totally worth it). for now, I'd say don't worry about trying to plex your account (and yes you need to do it every month) and just have fun playing as an alpha clone. when my goal should have just been to have fun. which just caused me to burn out, I never took out ships to pvp because every loss put me that much further from my "goal" of the plex. I never took that advice, and I sorely wish I had, instead I spent every day chasing the almighty isk trying to get to that elusive "play for free" state. when I started I was told just to enjoy the game, learn how to play, and have fun for at least the first year before even THINKING about trying to plex my account. ![]() but those where experienced players who knew what they where doing and even then luck played a big part of it. sure there are stories of people who got very lucky doing exploration and payed for their omega time within 2 days of starting a new alpha character. Yes you can pay for your game time with IG money, but it takes a lot of work to get to that point on a consistent basis. back then it was very common advice but somewhere along the road we stopped giving it out which I think is a shame. So how does that work? Is it feasible to pay it for free or would only an extremely dedicated player be able to do it? Is it permanent or do I have to buy it every month? Thanks for responding :) I'm going to tell you the same thing that I got told when I first started playing. If you don't want to pay real money, farm in game money and purchase it. ![]() Use this same mentality with PLEX and youre less likely to burn yourself out on the PLEXing "Free" gameplay treadmill. Getting "any" job isnt hard, but getting a job that will pay for everything you want in life plus extras often is. The bigger thing isnt making your first months PLEX its about setting up something that wont burn you out in the grind JUST to play to play again. Its ironically better to pay for the game for a few months till you get to that disposable income level for comfort, yet now with unlimited alpha you dont have to worry about this issue if you dont want to. If you are very low income this can occupy all your game time while at higher incomes its more of an afterthought and you have lots of disposable income and stop worrying about it even though its a huge chunk of your normal monthly expenses. ![]()
