Game time can be bought either from CCP directly, or from an [https://secure.eveonline.com/etc.aspx authorised third-party retailer]. It can be paid as either a recurring payment, or by buying a "block" of game time (e.g. 6 months) in advance, which is usually cheaper on a per-month basis. Depending on your local currency it may be worth shopping around to get the best deal on game time.

You should '''NEVER''' haul PLEX, as every [[Suicide Ganking|suicide ganker]] in New Eden will be trying to destroy your ship in the hope that they can retrieve the PLEX from your ship's wreck (like any other item, there is a 50% chance that the PLEX will be destroyed when your ship is blown up). You should never need to haul PLEX - only buy, sell, or redeem it at [[Trade Hubs|trade hubs]], and if necessary you can use it to add game time (or any of its other uses) remotely from anywhere in the universe through the [[Managing_Your_Assets#The_Asset_Window|Assets window]].

Additionally, since PLEX is both valuable and fairly commonly used (compared with other items of comparable value), it is often used in [[Scams_in_EVE_Online#Contract_Scams|contract scams]]. If you want to be safe only buy PLEX from the [[trading|market]], or be extra-careful when reading the terms for contracts involving PLEX (note that the vast majority of contracts involving PLEX, especially those advertised in the Local chat window, are scams).
