Perpetuum's (still alive and kicking apparently!) and now they dropped something which like a bombshell.
With integration into Steam distribution, they announced a pay-once payment model which is similar to Guildwar.

http://blog.perpetuum-online.com/posts/2014-03-16-the-end-of-subscriptions-the-start-of-something-new/

They modified their SP (aka EP in their terms) accruals plus a number of other changes in the game mechanics.
Basic premise is you have to login and play in order to accrue SP, plus Premium/Std account mechanics which confers 50% boost for premium.

Hmm ..... all I need now is an active bot that just logs in play for me P Nevertheless, this change bears watching from now on, imo.
Speculate away folks.

Sorry, not EvE related, so doesn't belong here.

Your looking for OOPE or whichever forum an ISD moves this too if not closed.

Who plays that crap anyway?

Even trying to compare EVE Online to that crap is an insult.

Don't do this again.

Yeah having to be logged in to train... the "he who has the least life wins" model. Forget it. Some of us don't have breasts and therefore have to pay our own rent.

What's sexist is assuming he was talking about female breasts. You must admit, it's possible he meant man-boobs.

On the other hand Pathfinder Online, which also uses the EVE skill model, is proposing that if your skill queue runs out while you are offline the SP will simply accumulate and can be allocatable where-ever you want when you return.

Wait.... its possible to not pay rent if you have man boobs?!!? Do they make breast implants for men? Because if it means living rent free.... sign me up.

I gotta check with my landlord on this one. I've got a nice rack, and my $950 a month rent bill stings.

Is this boob discount nationwide, or only a state thing?

If you are in any need of a manziere, there's a good chance you aren't doing much at all, let alone paying the rent.

Playing games might be about the limit of activity at that point.

That's why implants might be the way to go! I can keep my physique while sporting a nice hairy set of sweater meat, live rent free and provide more content for my Office Diaries thread due to the gossip... not to mention the fashion opportunities that would open up for me.

You know what... even if the rent thing doesn't pan out.... there is quite a list of pros going for the man boob job.....

Trust me man, it ain't worth it! I opted for a cup size larger when I got reconstruction done, due to a roadside bomb. Once I was up and mobile, I had backaches for months.

I envy you men, what with your flat chests and all that.

There's a meme in that post somewhere, waiting to be born. I just know it.
