Currently all subsciption money goes for development of FIS content of EVE. I propose upgrade for this.

In account page you could choose if your subsciption money goes for FIS or WIS or both EVE content development. These two areas of EVE could then have their own budget and they could be developed independently from each other. Each plex brought to EVE also gives value for either FIS or WIS or both development. EVE store purchases could give value for FIS, WIS, Dust 514 or Valkyrie development. If you choose that subsciption gives value for both FIS and WIS content development then this value is divided evenly among FIS and WIS.

I'm dreaming that this model could bring back capsuleers who went away when Incarna was cancelled.

In long run WIS could get its own name like:

EVE
Incarna

At default all active accounts would give value for FIS content development of EVE because it is original content of EVE online.

Comments are welcome for my crazy idea.

I'd gladly pay for only WiS part of Eve online.

EVE is what happens when the rule of law does not apply and Darwinism is allowed to run freely.

I don't think you understand how development or income work.

+1 if only because it might give CCP the kick up the arse they need to take eve out of maintainance mode. The game is clearly stagnating and it would settle the wis vs fis argument that is currently playing out on these boards.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

Indeed. I would love to have my taxes apply ONLY towards education, infrastructure, health, and scientific development and not in "how can we spy on/blow-up more people... or have my bank ONLY invest my money in local businesses and not in international commodity futures... or have my university tuition ONLY pay for teacher salaries and research... etc. etc.

(NOTE: I'm not trying to create a political discussion here... I'm just making gross oversimplifications to point out how things actually work).

How did you Veterans start?

Yeah, no. The whole WIS thing holds about as much appeal as joining Second Life. Besides, WIS would probably result in telemarketers and door-to-door salesmen at the major trade hubs...

Ah, but there would have to be a catch!

If you choose to pay only for the "WIS" development, then you cannot use "FIS" content at all. You will be permanently stuck in your Captain's Quarters, unable to use the Hangar View (FIS content) and unable to undock (FIS content) or use the market (full of FIS content) and you will be unable to do any PI (FIS content since you must FIS to get there).

I hope you like being docked in whatever station you're at, because it's going to be a long and cold winter while you wait for that Door to open.
