I'm Curious. Why do nullspace alliance pay concord tax to own space concord don't own?

What does concord have to do with nullspace? If your the leaders of this why do you pay them? Its your space.

Is this some form for ccp to cheat the players? control? What?

I'm curious to hear your logic on this. Big smile

You can either call it gameplay story segregation, or upkeep for the stargates that you use out there.

So they shouldn't pay bounties for rats either? Pretty sure I know what your answer will be. Twisted

Spelling is important. It is the difference between knowing your **** and knowing you're ****.

You didn't realise? You're basically just CONCORD's tenants.

It replaces the cost of POS fuel under the old system. (Of course, it was supposed to come with other cool sov management tools to make up for the increased expense of safe systems, but those never came)

It isn’t really hard, but I think there are customers that you can lose in a good way and there’s customers that you can lose in a bad way. If people come in and fundamentally don’t like EVE Online, then I think that might be a good way of losing customers. EVE isn’t for everyone. I wish it was, but the reality is that there are some people who just enjoy playing another game more. And that’s not really that bad.

I think the shame is when people see EVE and they really want to play it and they get hit by this learning curve and the system discourages [them from playing]. Sometimes our players ask us if we’re dumbing EVE down, and I don’t really think so. I think we’re just getting closer and closer to a place where the people we lose are people that it’s okay to lose. If you don’t like sci-fi games, if you don’t like spaceships, then this might not be a game for you. But if you really like spaceships and you can’t get past the fifth page in the tutorial, then we’re losing you for a stupid reason.

These changes we simply have to make. That’s absolutely doing good stuff with the learning curve, and as Jon said, we’re working on that right now and hopefully making that easier.

You pay to stop concord telling one of the empires about your nice shiny space. That and Concord need your donations to help pay for all their ships in Hi-sec. They need so many because of the Suicide ganks, with so many ganks going on maybe they need to raise Sovereignty feesLol

But it would be funny if you got an Empire fleet of thousands to stomp you if you failed to pay up

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!
