EVE PLEX Sale Going On — Don’t Miss This One
I just wrote about PLEX, Omega, and EVE Online sales a couple of days ago, and apparently the timing was pretty good — because there is a very strong PLEX sale going on right now.
I’m not going to redo all the math here. If you want the deeper explanation of how this sale works, watch the video below. It has a great discussion with MarkeeDragon about the current PLEX sale, why the smaller PLEX packages are unusually attractive this time around, and how players can get substantially better value than they normally would without buying the massive PLEX bundles.
One especially interesting part of this sale is that the discounted smaller packages are bringing the cost per PLEX down close to pricing that normally requires buying one of the very large packages. In other words, you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars just to access the better PLEX pricing.
If You're Buying PLEX, Check the Sale First
Before automatically buying your normal PLEX package, look at the discounted packages.
The pricing on this sale is a little unusual, and simply buying the biggest package may not give you the best deal. The video goes through the combinations and explains the math much better than I could in a quick post.
I Recommend Buying Through MarkeeDragon
If you're going to buy PLEX anyway, I recommend checking MarkeeDragon.
One nice advantage is that you can purchase multiple discounted codes in a single transaction instead of repeatedly making individual purchases. That's particularly useful with this sale because some of the best pricing comes from combining several smaller PLEX packages.
And don't forget:
Use your favorite creator's MarkeeDragon discount code for another 3% off.
MarkeeDragon confirmed in the interview that creator/community discount codes provide an additional discount and are widely used by EVE players.
So the basic strategy is:
PLEX sale + MarkeeDragon + your favorite creator code = a pretty good time to stock up.
And if you're really trying to maximize your Omega cost, remember that experienced players sometimes buy discounted PLEX now and hold it until a good Omega-for-PLEX sale appears later, effectively stacking the discounts.
Watch the Video
The full conversation is worth watching if you're interested in EVE's pricing, PLEX, Omega, MarkeeDragon, or just the strange economics behind EVE Online.

There is a lot more in the discussion than just this sale, so rather than summarize the whole thing here, go give the video a watch.
And if you were already planning to buy PLEX, don't sleep on the current sale.
