Here is my proposal for new PLEX's system and it's simply awsome!

14 Day Pilot's License Extention (Bronze)

21 Day Pilot's License Extention (Silver)

30 Day Pilot's License Extention (Gold)

45 Day Pilot's License Extention (Platinum)

Make the access to the game time more flexible.

New players, it's hard to earn 800m for plex in the first month of this game. No rich friends to help, no Bank to loan, pve doesn't bring such high income (current price of the PLEX). So 14/21 days should be more achievable vs. 30/45.

Time to time we have limited time to play, so wasting isk on 30 days in case you only about to log for couple of weeks or you have only about to weeks to play out of month will give you great opportunity to stay online and not to spend extra money.

etc. etc

Wrong forum.

Subscription solves all the problems of turning eve into a second job just to be able to keep grinding as a second job in order to play without paying. You'd have no time left to actually have fun.

Subscribe and then just play.

Can always PLEX later on when earning more is easier.

if you can't grind 800m in your first month, then just pay your subsctiption with real money like every other game out there.

There are people that offer up to 90% of the PLEX going rate in this thread if you use their 21-day trial link. It's what I did back when I started playing, with the caveat that I cash-subbed out of trial within the first 10 days to unlock the restricted skills.

You forget that playing a video game is a luxury, not a priviledge. If you cannot afford the subscription fee, and are worried about not being able to grind the price of a PLEX inside of a month, then you really need to take a good hard look at your priorities.

I used to PLEX my accounts, until I realized that the game I play to relax after work had become a second job. I talked my boss into a $0.50/hr raise, which in the span of a month, is enough to keep 3 of my accounts active. Yes, I really did tell my boss that I wanted a raise to pay for a video game. She still thinks I'm nuts, but it worked. Big smile

I've only used a plex once for game time, bank fecked up payment, needed to be online for an op.

as far as using them to run lots of accounts, i've always thought of them like modules with stacking penalties, the more accounts you try to keep active with plex the more you lose time to actually play the game and have fun.

but lets face it, some peoples idea of fun are not always our idea of fun. 12 hours mining with 8 accounts,,,,, i'd rather stick needles in my eyes,,, lol Roll

use all that lovely isk to buy plex so i can do the above.,,,, i'd rather slide down a razor blade and use my balls as breaks.Shocked

fly what you can afford i guess Blink

As much as I'd want that option, it's not really feasible if you want to keep having a game to play past a couple of years.

Making that available widespread to the whole player base would mean they don't plan on pushing past a few years with the game of the income model will change drastically too.

That's what I meant. And believe me, I'd be a customer for a reasonably priced lifetime sub if it were a sustainable model. I know that I've spent more than €500 on various stuff that I don't even use any more, it wouldn't be a big deal to make a one-time purchase for that sum.

There has been discussions of replacing the PLEX with Aurum. AUR would be sold for real money instead of PLEX. You would get the PLEX from the NEX store.

I think they should do that, and go one step farther: Not even have the PLEX. Just sell game time at the NEX store. The rate would be 3 days for 350 AUR.

To make this work, CCP would have to add a way for players to trade AUR for ISK with each other. The PLEX market would be replaced by an AUR market. AUR would replace PLEX as the item to have to guard against inflation.

At the present prices, one AUR would go for 228000 ISK. If you wanted that 3 days of game time I mentioned above, you would spend about 80 million ISK on AUR, then turn it in.

Which doesn't really differ from the model we have now in the end.

It'd be closer to OPs than the current model, since you could buy any amount divisible by 3. I like that idea, but unncesesary change and super pilots not needing to be subbed etcetc

Not by much.
Presently we have three currencies: PLEX, ISK, and AUR. My suggestion simplifies things by getting rid of one of them.

I don't like it for the mess it would create managing all the different levels of PLEX ...on the website and in the market. I would rather see something play related added to the game.
