EVE General Discussion

Ok so a little over a year ago I left the game due to medial issues. Now I'm back. I just plexed my account and read though all the updates since I left. I was SHOCKED to find that in the last year plex prices have gone for 500 mill to 1 BILLION ISK! and there are 1/2 as many active players online. What happen to this game? Somehow I doubt that the isk farming macro miners all got kicked out so I can only assume that the 25,000 missing players since my last login were real people. Did they all leave b/c of the increased plex price? Was anything done to try and stop them leaving? Is the game even still worth playing with more systems and 1/2 the population? It seems like it was pretty hard to find a fight before. Now there will be 2 x as many empty solar systems when roaming? I'm extremely disappointed in what I'm seeing in terms of active players. Can anyone give me reason to believe that the game is somehow better and not much worse in terms of finding fun fights than it was a year ago?

You've been away for a lot longer than 1 year if those numbers are to be believed.

And yes, a lot of multi-client accounts are no longer around.

well the fact that PLEX price is that high is an issue in itself.

Plex prices are too Damn HIGH!

So go spend a lot of rl cash on buying plexes wich will contribute to plex prices ingame going down again ...

so the solution on high PLEX prices is to spend even more money to get game currency with RL cash?

see what you did there ?

PLEX prices spiking is a a clear indicator that the game is dying for me, the only solution would be an all around decline to the subscription cost. Per month and PLEX RL price as well. Lets all hope someone from CCP is figuring this out. The remaining casual gamers will leave the game if they haven't already with these prices.

Ummmmmm....................No.

There isn't many subscription platform gamers out there that queef out over spending 15-20$ a month to play.
Considering you can under even lazy game-play, pay for your subscription every second month with earned ISK, a one billion Plex price is not a deterrent.

As well, considering I regularly purchase plex for my various endeavours, I'm pretty pleased with what my >20 USD gets me
in game these days.

Do you realize how little sense this entire post made?
I hope like hell you are trolling, because if not, goddamn son.

a one billion Plex price is not a deterrent.

What about 2B? You know it will happen. How casual you would have to be to say enough?
Remember, there is always option to pay REAL money.

Well, it would probably remove half of the incentives to play the game... Specific kind of player.

PLEX are like houses IRL, everyone knows people need them and as a result people aren't happy to sell for less than they paid. If people won't take less than they paid then that trends towards prices going up. PLEX prices will never, unless the player base suddenly grows massively, go back to the prices they were at a few years ago. Accept this.
