Hey, just popping back in to get in touch.

All of my account downsizing has happened in the form of cancelling the recurring charges for the subs. However there will still be transfer fees being made as I consolidate mains.

I just want to be clear this isn't about the irl $ (it's about welping half a PLEX in pure med clone costs in a single outing). I have no problem spending the $ for what amounts to a database edit, really. In fact I'm already saving money despite these charges, through reduced sub fees.

I'll have to eat those fees again when it's time to unpack my mains and put them all on their own accounts again.

I just hope you take a very clear headed look at how game mechanics are changing the face of multiboxing in EVE. Some things are far, far removed from the code, and are classic cases of the writing on the wall.

I still love you, just doing what I gotta.

I do believe that it is expensive to lose a pod in eve.

The only thing I would offer would be to before player undocks after there pod has been killed is to have a pop up or something that remind player that there clone is not up to date every time before they undock. (its still up to you to pay for the lost pod implants and clone upgrade.) though this would be just another feature someone would just turn off.

For Price I think the price could be knocked down a bit. 25% would be nice. considering a pilot that plays for long enough his/her clone is going to start getting expensive say 100 mil a pop. (during long wars I have been on the completely broke side. having to wait tell war is over before I can gather some more isk)

Just an idea maybe have titan jump clone bay have the ability to upgrade clones for free or reduced cost, maybe have to pay out to the titan owner. just an idea what do you think.

So yeah like my post. -Olga

Yeah that's doable. and I'll tell you what I'd do, I'd have me a personal rorqual.

What's your intended response from high sec players who can't have a titan or even a rorqual with them?

I didn't say rorqual but i see your point. my response to the high sec player. Risk vs Reward. is it worth going out to there to save isk.

Rorqual <--- if you spend this much money to save isk on clones. you clearly need to slow down and give the killboard a break.

So yeah like my post. -Olga

worth it, if they're free. just for the peace of mind to go out until I find trouble. honest, I'd be a roaming PVPer.

Thank you.

The thought of squeezing mains onto shared accounts like sardines made me pretty sad. My only comforts were in knowing I would have reduced sub fees while still getting to visit them, and I was hard-limiting med clone fees by the number of characters I could have out at the same time.

It was an equilibrium, but a complete loss of my fanboidom. i'm anxious to have that happiness back at Rhea.

Excuse me for posting such a ragethread in your forum section. I decided to leave my ambien rage post as-is, as a reminder to not do that any more. Also, I don't have an ambien prescription anymore, after telling my psych it wasn't working and that I often ended up awake but blacked out. communicating on forums. when I shouldn't be.

This thread was one of the biggest factors in my decision to level with him. The new thing he has me using works better, and people don't get it prescribed unless they encounter issues with ambien. If this thread hadn't happened, it would have been a lot longer before I made that change (I enjoyed it too much).

I don't feel weird talking about it. It's just insomnia.

Hi all,

we talk about the Medical Clones Cost . But there is another problem that occure purchasing this awesome service: there isn't any written prove you've payed for it. You accidentally don't select it by the mouse and a harldy learned skill can be lost for a long while.


I suggest an email to be sent to your box or a notice to listed so that a double check can guarantee it being active.

I've already opened an ticket via Help popup, the Customer Support recommended me to mantion it here.

Have a good space time,

Nektor

You'll be happy to know it's not going to matter after tomorrow Nektor. Clone costs are going away, as is SP loss on death (with the exception of T3 cruisers, they still have a skill loss).
