I Remember watching some of the fan feast stuff and one of the speakers spoke about UK PLEX price will be in UK £ Pounds and not EU € EUROS. And the price would be £10 (I think he said 10 anyway).

Is there date set for this and if so, When is it?

Thank's for reading

The subscription price is changing but there was no mention of plex prices changing.

Again, its called exchange rates. £16 = $24. Double the price would be $32 not $24.

And to the OP, PLEX prices are not changing and never were, just the cost of a subscription. The reason PLEX cost more is because they can also be exchanged in game for ISK, whereas a subscription only applies game time to an account.

The sub cost is already £10 and has been since May 1st, you need to unsub and resub with the new option to activate it though.

Plex prices however are not changing and staying the same, but tbfh if your buying them from CCP directly in the UK your a fool. Shattered Crystal GTC for just £22 (£11 a plex for the mathmatically challenged) after being coverted from dollars. Looking at CCP's £16 a Plex or £30 for 2 it's clear where to go.

I lied :o

so i was right in thinking that it was wrong.. and what i don't understand is that they are making more money tax doesn't scratch it as tax is still low for consumer goods. if you can count it as consumer goods that is. should only effect a small percentage of the income they make from selling from the us because they make not $16 but $24 because of the cost of the pound is grater than the dollor. and their company is us based not uk based

something i also noticed is the fact you cant see the us currency for plex. last time i got a plex it was $14 but now its not showing the price at all. i think they know what they are doing and are doing it on purpose. you do the math because the income is based in dollors not pounds so they should be focusing on having equal to that of us plex... or they should show how much the tax price is at least. so we know why we are paying so much for plex this will also confirm if they are in fact overpricing the plex.

my math is missing the tax bit so sorry if its slightly wrong or if im missing something iv tryed looking for the plex tac rate from pounds to us currency along with trade. but currently cant find anything if anyone has any links or information I could use
