EVE General Discussion

Only thing I wish for is a price reduction on the sub/month.

This is a game where having 2 or more toons is REQUIRED, not a want but a requirement to succeed at this game. If the sub was $5 a month, it would be FAR easier pill to swallow for someone who has 3 or even 10 toons.

Currently most people who run more then 2+ accounts, only actually will pay for 2 of them (if at all) and will use PLEX to sub the rest. CCP is still getting sub money from somewhere, even if YOU are not the one actually paying for it, since someone else had to buy the PLEX with IRL money at some point before you bought it and used it to sub.


If the price for subbing went down, it would turn more people to using subs rather then PLEX. This would, in the long run, be more quick cash for CCP on a monthly basis. Since someone who is using PLEX's is using "old" money that might of been spent years ago and thus no direct $$$ to CCP (as it was cash already spent by CCP).

As for PLEX's, they would be viewed as a more "quick ISK" venture (not like they are already viewed like that). With the price of a SUBS going down, people would be more likely to buy a PLEX or two for quick ISK since now they would have "more" actual money to spend on the game. Save the customer money in one area, and see more money spent in another.


Not to mention, with a lower sub cost, it would attract more players from other games that have NOT lowered there sub...

The key thing about this game is that it is a challenge, but sometimes CCP does not get that balance right and in doing so they have lost a lot of players. There are other games out there, but so far none are as deep of have the level of engagement, Star Citizen may do that, I have a friend in the PU testing and its looking good so far.

I am wearing an EVE T-shirt custom made for me in public areas, so I hope I am contributing somehow to EVE. If not...well it's still cool.
