CCP had previously announced they were extending the Buddy Program to Dec. 1. Well, it's become so popular that they're extending it again until Jan. 9. What better time than the holidays to invite a friend to try out EVE Online?

Our recently announced, revamped Buddy Program has proven to be so popular that we have decided to extend the program through the Christmas season. From now until 5 January 2009 you can invite your friends to EVE Online for a special 21-day trial. If they become subscribers, you will get 30 days of game time added to your account. The invite form and detailed information can be found on the Buddy Program page in Account Management.

Keep reading for more information, which can also be found here.

» Each Active Subscription Account (trial accounts do not qualify for this promotion) can send Buddy Program invitation emails through the Buddy Program page.

» Only accounts created through this emailed invite are valid for this offer. Be sure your friends use the invite to create their account in order for you to earn your game time when they subscribe to EVE Online.

» Eligible subscription activations can be funded by any payment method except EVE Time Codes.

» Trial accounts must subscribe within two weeks following the trial expiration to qualify for the promotion.

» Please note that once your friend purchases an EVE Online subscription, your 30 free days may take up to 24 hours to be applied.

» Buddies must activate their 21-day trial no later than January 5th.

» Buddies must purchase a subscription to EVE online within 7 days of their trial expiring, in order for your free 30 days to be awarded.
