Why do clone grades end at omega with 450million? Is it possible for a player to exceed this number?

The top skill point character has roughly 258 million SP: http://eveboard.com/ranks

Considering he has been active since 2003, it would take him at least until the year 2022-2023 to get 450 million SP.

The highest Skill Point pilots in game are reaching ~300 million SP at this point. Clone grades are also going to be removed with the next mini-expansion Rhea. http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/coming-to-eve-online-in-the-rhea-release-on-december-9th/

see correction from ISD above regarding top SP pilot.

Not that it matters much....

With Rhea, clone grades are a thing of the past.

If a character learned every skill in the game right now, they'd need that clone.

Don't kid yourselves. Even the dirtiest pirates from the birth of EVE have been carebears. They use alts to bring them goods at cheap prices and safely, rather than live with consequences of their in game actions on their main, from concord to prices

A rough estimate I use is 20 million skill points per year, as it is a nice round figure. [Maximum is around 23.6m per year.]

450m / 20m = 22.5 years

EVE has been around for 11 years.

Dr. Caymus has the most skill points in EVE. He's currently at 258m. CCP upgraded for him too.

Six new clones have been added going all the way up to 450 million skill points at the cost of 150 million ISK which should keep Dr Caymus and the rest of you covered for a few years

In the December 9th Rhea expansion, clone grades will be removed.
