meh on their first interview the lead mentioned "WoW" and targeting the "broad player base"... summed it up for me. ESO released? wouldn't have known..
Sandbox 10/10
ES game 10/10
Broad player base target -20/20

If there is a PLEX crash, it's cuz CCP is overdoing it with PLEX requirements on new game features and turning players off.

I'm in it for the money

I have about 50 1000 AUR tokens and I can't sell them. Thanks to my big-as-my-forearm, $750.00, 5 lb chunk of video perfection crapping out on me, I can barely log in to switch skills.

Sucks to be me sometimes :(

I feel for ya brother. My gaming PC's mobo is out for RMA right now.


Are you guys overclocking or something? I have never had a mobo fail after the first week...

Ever tried getting them out when they are stuck in between teeth?

based on the fact that the release went by without me even noticing...

you can bet most other people didn't realise it came out, either.

I hope ESO fails just so we can get back Kimmi Chan.

Plex prices will continue to rise, and rise large.

The ship skins program is in its infancy, and is just starting to suck up plexes.
The null sec cartels, at least goons and pl's, are in grind mode right now, and pumping out massive amounts of ISK.
Now, even the lowest grunt in those cartels is using ISK to fund their gametime.

And lastly, now that the dev's are completely screwing people with the drone skills, many people will have to fund alt's training times, which is even more plex demand.

Yeah, this is just a hiccup on the way to 1 billion ISK plexes.
Too bad I won't be paying that for my alt I am training.

If this is true, selling would be the WORST thing to do

If it is ture, PLEX will rise when everyone who isnt an idiot realises that brown and grey arent the only colours and magic is for the Flintstones

Why would you have to worry about either of them? You might as well worry about the next Mario game…

dame it, im "high sec" and "ccp" short of tinfoil hat bingo!

seriously though, the market (read Jita) will calm down once the pilot ends and we get a proper way of painting ships.

PLEX prices are mainly speculation driven, pumped up by a few pretty obvious scam threads over the past week or so by investors ( pretending to be rage quitting over the rising PLEX price) as a market manipulation trick :D

Let's give our players something revolutionary like quests: "bring me 3 spider legs" and "fetch me 5 boar intestines".

A few things:

TESO has about ....6-12 months before that pos goes free2play. Then, and only then you might have to worry about losing some people, but they will be back. Cause EvE is like crack.

I would be a lot more worried about is Albion Online, which is shaping up to be EvE with orks, elves, other fantasy trappings. But even then, you would be able to do EvE in Space..and EvE with swords.. so I doubt you will see a huge drastic drop in plex sales.
