I've googled and searched, albeit not very hard.

Does anyone have any idea when we will be able to pay our subs in £ ?

And furthermore, as existing subscribers do we need to do anything in account management to change over to £ ?

I think the producer said by around mid-May time during the key note pres at fanfest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=NEJbwZCgNgU#t=1721s

It'll probably be an automatic change seeing as they already know your localisation.

edit- from actually watching my own link I can confirm from 1st of may lol

It's not automatic (confirmed at the roundtable)

Can't be. They have a contract to bill you in Euro. They can't just change it at will to pounds.

Woo! CSM XI!

£ 9.99 = €12 = $15.83
€ 14.95 = £ 12.36 = $19.60
$ 14.95 = £9.42 = €11.40


Of course, that's totally ignoring currency conversion fees, and changing conversion rates.

I'll be a lot happier paying in pounds.

Ah sorry didn't know that. I wonder how they'll do it then.

You could try politely asking @CCP_Unifex on twitter? ^^

I think it's been answered - 1st May. Thanks all for the help.

I prefer paying in £. It's more stable than converting from another currency ever month.

You could pay for EVE in £ when I first started playing. £8 / month. It was sweeeet. But not so long ago, the exchange rate increased UK subs to almost £15. Knowing what I pay each month will be cool.

Will PLEX be available to buy in £ too?
