Ok so I consider EVE online and what CCP is doing is a wonderful and great thing. The idea of freedom and freemarket in the game is amazing. There is one thing that bothers me though. As we all know the world economy is not in the greatest of shape and the worlds monies are a bit shakey. Euro is bound to crash following the dollar. So my question is if the currency on which ccp uses for subscriptions happens to fail WHAT, what is CCp's Plan B?

If you had attended Fanfest and went to the CCP panel on their company growth and outlook for the future, you would already know the answer. But since you didn't some nice soul put it up on Youtube right here.

I would rather use the crappy system the Japanese players are forced to use.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

If the US Dollar and Euro collapse more or less at the same time then we have bigger problems than how to pay for a game.

If that happens, well, between half my family being in Kentucky, and the other half living in an underfround complex under a family-farm in Alabama, we'd prolly have enough guns and ammo to restart the global economy.
