Eve is not F2P, somebody always pays.


If it comes down to paid expansions vs subscriotion it has to be one or the other NOT both.

You do realise Eve customer base is fragile due to the multi account issue, go back and read Incarna threadnaught

If its a FPS, BF2 is still far superior to either


If its an MMO, Ill take EvE in its current form




At all other times, Ill take Tempest and Roadblasters, ta

Fear not citizens of EVE. We brought CCP to it's knees by shooting indestructable monuments in Jita and flooding the forums with E-Rage and bittervet comments. CCP built the world, we pay for it and make the rules by which we rule it.

In the event they fail to listen to us, we shall import angry chinese women workers and watch them barracade said staff into their offices feeding them cold noodles till our demands are met.

But never fear, Mintchip may leave... we like her.

No thanks, others have already done this. To pile on any more at this point would be like kicking a puppy.

What exactly was ruined by the DLC you didn't need to buy?

You could also buy them all in a few month of eve subs and then be done and never have to pay a dime over it.

Bad idea.

Unless you can PROVE that a second market model will work better then you are jumping for the sake of jumping and OP is asking because they don't want to pay for a subscription anymore. (probably)

So . . . no

But to clear up one misconception. Some plex out there were NOT paid for by players. Prizes from tourneys, bonuses for recruiting new players leap to mind,

Back to the original idea? Shift to F2P and bill the expansions? All discussion after the Deacon Abox 's one in post 8 are pretty well irrelevant and the usual strawman arguments.

Statistically speaking that number is so small it can be considered to be 0.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Is it bad ju-ju to say things about the quality of CSM posts?


Not in relation to what you said, just asking you

They already do, it costs $15/mo.


Yea, when majority of the player base is playing for free. But then you have new players with a high turnover ratio paying the bills.

To me this would give CCP greater revenue while providing larger content to its players. More content is a win win for everyone.


They are not playing for free , just someone else is paying for them

What percentage of PLEX would you say that represents? 0.05% roughly, give or take a smidge?

In other words, completely irrelevant.

Especially when you consider that the monetary value of most new players is probably at least 2.5x PLEX so those represent profit, not loss.
