So, one thing about Odyssey I was looking forward to was enjoying lower clone costs for a little while.

I thought "Oh that's gonna be nice a nice little bonus at least!"

But oh no... That's asking too much.

Did I get a week to enjoy it? No.

Did I get a day? No.

OH NO.

Thank you Amarr Destroyer 5, Caldari Destroyer 5, Gallente Destroyer 5, Minmatar Destroyer 5, Amarr Battlecruiser 5, Caldari Battlecruiser 5, Gallente Battlecruiser 5, and Minmatar Battlecruiser 5. Evil

Because of you... BAM!

I crash right through the barrier into clone grade Sigma.

Meaning my clone costs have gone UP! X Oh, the humanity.

Yes, but thats one of the reasons they reduced the prices of clones. Though I feel you are playing foolies with us :)

I have my first and only 450m clone bought a long time ago, and probably never going to need it anyway :P

Yes, by all means anounce this on the public forums in a smug tone, sounds like a great strategy to keep that clone.

Eh? How is this even relevant within the context of the thread?

I am a clone, I am not alone
Every fibre of my flesh and bone

is identical to the others
Everything I say is in the same tone

as my test tube brother's voice
There is no choice between us,

If you had ever seen us,
You'd rejoice in your uniqueness

and consider every weakness
something special of your own

Being a clone, I have no flaws to identify
Even this doggerel that pours from my pen,

has just been written by another
twenty telepathic men,

Oh, word for word, it says:
"Oh, for the wings of any bird, other than a battery hen".
That's the spirit of the age

i think the point was, if you're losing clones regularly with implants in them, the clone cost isn't that significant in comparison.
or, i could just be translating it wrong.

I have to pay 1.5M ISK more, but on the other hand, that extra cost means I get a 35M SP headroom, which is probably the best deal I've had in a long time. P

Well, to be fair, I think I might have undocked once or twice this year for about 5 minutes :)

I never much cared about clone cost. If I get podded it'll be the cheapest thing I need to replace.

Make clone cost a monthly subscription instead of a per clone price tag. Then the carebears get drained instead of the PvPers.

If you guys are so damn worry about the clone cost, then why the hell most of you trained your chars in a rush to recieve all of those skills?What?

in 2007 i've thought it's a sci-fi simulator, not an "e-sports" game. I'm not a teenager, how would i like it much?
