Starting to play EVE is free (there is no cost to "buying a box", and expansions to the game are also free), but you can subsequently choose to pay for a [[#Subscriptions|recurring subscription]]. Additionally, you can buy "starter packs", which give you additional items or temporary in-game boosts. These can only be used when first creating an account (i.e. they cannot be applied to an existing account), and are intended to give new players a boost when starting out.

* Core Starter Pack: 30 days of game time and a Prototype Cerebral Accelerator (about 45% faster training speed for 15 days). Additionally, a few ships, modules, blueprints, and clothes.

* Explorer/Colonist/Industrialist/Skirmisher Content Packs: 750 AUR. Additionally, a few ships, modules, blueprints, clothes, and skillbooks.

* Premium Edition: Core Starter Pack, all four Content Packs (but without the AUR), 1 PLEX, and 750 AUR (usually - the contents of this pack appears to vary by seller). Additionally, a few ship SKINs.
