If you're objective is more players... why not just go Free to Play.

+20-30% training speed = Subscription (Subscriptions could be tiered for more speed for consecutive months subscribed)
+20% training speed = 1PLEX
+ 1 additional 30 training que = 1 PLEX (add additional plex for 30 day training with 20% training speed)

2500 Skill Point added to any one skill instantly = 100 AUR


As long as they don't sell mods or isk (or worse--Cash exclusive Mods/Ship with bonus stats), then it should bring more people in without killing the core of the game. Potentially more revenue as well--if they market it on steam/Facebook correctly.

How about "no", and stop trying to actively kill the game?

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

how would this kill the game?

Edit: Just realized this post is about ways to lower the price of Plex by making it last longer. Sorry for interrupting. Carry On!

I'm thinking of special event PLEX limited edition 45 days subscription.

What you think?

For those who don't want to waste 40 minutes. The metrics on plex state that there is less PLEX being traded on the market or used by pilot services even though the number of plex bought is increasing. --They speculate this is because people are hoarding PLEX, probably because of the stable economy. Further, the price of PLEX either isn't high enough or people aren't burning isk fast enough to compel them to sell it. (Similar to how the price of gold fluctuates when compared to currency inflation)

I guess the assumption here is that the trend has continued in the following 9 months.


For that trend to have continued, there has to have been little to no change in economic activity OR the root cause has not yet been determined and corrected. I'm brand new, so I'm unsure if there has been a significant war since the one mentioned in the video (October 2013), but even so, that war didn't move the trend. ... ...

Have all the potential customers simply decided they have all the plex they need? I'm still new, so I haven't yet established my foundations for financial security, but I'm starting to see how easy it is to replace frigates and am wondering (as my industrial skills improve) if this will continue for T2 and Larger ships if I decide to specialize. -----Following this train of thought, I wondered if it would be plausible to build a stockpile of plex for alt training by simply only playing in frigates? I wonder if that is actually the trend. I started in mining, but I"m starting to find ways to automate income through the markets... .. It's reasonable that I could lose 1 frigate a day and still be in the green.

But the economy is stable..... so it's sustaining itself with little to no rise or fall. Which (correct me if I'm wrong) would mean that we are creating stuff at a similar rate to destruction. If my personal experience were common, wouldn't there be an excess and the economy deflating significantly?

Read a post on Reddit recently "Eve From Scratch" which involved living outside of the economy in WH space. Maybe more people are gravitating toward that type of play. -----Unsure myself. No personal experience.

(All of my statements assumes the trends have continued as the quoted asserts. Being a noob, I have no idea where to get this data or even the proper metrics to parse it for analyzing to this degree)

If you kill more big things, the price will go down.

This thread proves a theory I've had for several weeks. Characters wearing sunglasses have odd ideas or defend them.
