Good thing you are posting from an NPC Char. We all know NPC Chars opinion is worth nothing and therefore irrelevant.

On the flip side, prolly a good thing as well since you would have been wardecced already.


Kane, just wow. That coat suits you well.


Thank you for that.

It does look nice. It is almost as if CCP created something for people like me. It re-invigorated me because I was at a point of selling my char.


No...

Never ever sell Kane.

We need you in EVE.

Reinventing yourself once in a while is a good thing imo, but then I'm slightly weird. Also, I am thoroughly offended by your NPC remark!

The simple reason why not F2P is quite simple. The F2P model is anti-consumer. The model tries to lure the players to buy stuff, often at the expense of the lore or gameplay. If a F2P model would be chosen for eve online, the game would change from top to bottom undermining everything we know now.

I think a good F2P model could be, after maybe 14 days you get skill advances and expensive equipment only by paying cash or alternately by in-game currency you have to grind .... oh wait, that's how EvE already works.

When I get blown up by someone I know I'm rubbish at PvP but I get a respectable "GF" instead of what I would get on a F2P model "PWND NUB LELELEL". Keep the riff raff out :D

If and when you have a serious and well worded proposal for the betterment of EvE, please feel free to post it in the Features & Ideas Discussion part of the forum.
