EVE General Discussion

It took CCP YEARS to resurrect the game and you want to **** it all up.

Even the Dalai Lama hates you.

If you want F2P go somewhere else. Every F2P I have ever tried was trash.

the space part of Eve need to stay untouched from the current revenue model.
Plex being a "PILOT license extension" required to fly a space ships.

If any F2P content could exist it's within station environments and planets. ( and please not like the failed Dust approach of "let's build a game and connect it to New Eden after".
some-how a 60 day limited trial would let new players grasp the concept and maybe they will chose to just stick with chilling and chatting and playing station/planetary content. or they will miss they days flying and have a great understanding of the risk of flying a space ship then commit to live in space for a subscription based game-play.

Just trowing ideas out of the windows..
trow me back rocks I don't care

can you just imagine what the game would be like if it went f2p.......
Everyone would immediatly create several alts to aid their mains money making (missions/ratting/mining/exploration)
due to increased inflow isk inflation would increase sharply, for people to keep their normal worth they would then create even more alts for even more isk...., inflation would skyrocket, everyone would be running their missions, mining, ratting anoms with twenty plus chars, and it would keep escalating as people try to stay ahead of the isk inflation rate, given that the average EVE gamers pc can support roughly forty to fifty clients multi boxed on low settings the end result would be wealth for the guy who multiboxes the most and poverty for everyone else, the game would then revolve around wha has the most chars they can login at once.
It would be fascinating to witness and even be a part of, like germanys hyperinflation of 1929, but online, so with people just raging out impotently during the intial hyperdevaluation and finally quiting for something else.

Well they would have to make money somehow, so if it was F2P they would need an in-game shop.



GW2 is a pile of crap thanks to game changes as well as the company's drive to make more cash via it's in-game shop.




So no EVE does not need to be F2P, F2P will only ruin it.

I think ccp could do it but they need more options in the Nex store so there is a reason to buy plex and spend other then selling on the market for ISK. Make the Nex store have more clothes, Name changes for players and Corps, maybe something so you could recolor your ship, things like that.

NO. It's a terribly bad idea for many reasons, some of them already stated.

That made my day:

Priceless

Another ignorant post from the WoW expert.

You see, unlike your favorite kindergarden themepark mmo-rpg, EvE Online is a complex sandbox mmo-rpg game, it's all about Player vs Player interactive competition, Gathering Resources, Manufacturing and Destruction, it's all Player vs Player, even when you're logged out.

And there a good reason for this to happen.

There is a cycle of life in sandbox mmo-rpg games. Like a said before, Gathering Resources, Manufacturing and Destruction, all of them are interconnected to each other and without them, the game is broken. All are equally important and can't work without each other. It's an ecosystem, if you break a part of the cycle, you break the game.

What happened to the great sandbox mmo-rpg called Ultima Online, the developers created a safe haven in the game for carebears, with this change the cycle was broken, no more "Destruction" so their was no need for "Manufacturing" and obvious, no need for "Gathering" either. The game died, just like that.

Also, unlike your favorite kindergarden themepark mmo-rpg, EvE Online has grown every single year and will still be played 10 years from now.

Does anyone read this and think of that South Park line? "I am sick of having my mental condition called into question!"

FIgures, though. You show all the signs of an atrophied mind of a female of the Boomer generation, including being sufficiently pigheaded to just plow on through when almost everyone is telling you that you are totally, hilariously wrong about everything you say. But no, it can't be your fault, your generation is almost totally devoid of the ability of introspective thought, and therefore the ability to accept blame for any of your erroneous actions.

Whew, rant over. Sorry folks, but I truly do hate Boomers.



What others total lies do we have in store for us today?



Yawn, safespots in highsec, nothing to see here, moving on.



At this point, despite your repeated references to WoW, I have to question if you have ever played it. The game's passive HP regen is sufficient to perma tank any creature below level 80 if your char is at max level. So, once again, an outright lie.



Which is why the braindead zombies that only play WoW, or CoD, or any of the twitch games, find EVE to be too hard. That's like telling me that football is hard and math isn't. I rolled my eyes so hard just now that they hurt.
