4 Accounts left now,

4 subbed,

Subs end 30 Sep '14, 22 Feb '15, 17 May '15 and (just resubbed) 13 July '15.

They were mainly carebears or skill queue online for a few reasons,

PvE Mission grinding gets boring even with constant breaks,

Mining, while boring gives us a chance to chat about anything (fleet mining)

PvP ? used to love fleet fights, didn't even mind the structure bashes (loads of chating, bit of decent banter)
now it is rather stagnant and boring.

Where has all of the challenge of my piranna infested sandpit gone ?
Do we need some more sand in the sandpit ?
How much do we 'Simplify' Eve to advantage the NPE ?

One of My CEO's/RL Friend (Playing since 2003) has gone from 38 accounts to 3, these are plexed with the isk he has, (no he is not short of a few) he only has these active to occasionally chat and keep skills training on one or two.

The ONLY reason some of us are still here is the friends we still have left in the game and the loyalty we feel to them, the slowly degrading quality of the expansions is pitiful to say the least.

Crius was delayed to 'fix it' as it wasn't ready to go live, it deployed to SiSi and despite multiple complaints about it not being workable and 'clunky' it was still forced down our throats.

Don't get me wrong, I am in no emoragequit mode, I feel rather sad about a game I love dearly which has helped me through some bad times slowly degrade into what it is today.

CCP really needs to step back and take a good hard look at the 'challenging' aspect of the game

Increased from 3 to 5 in the last 6 months

Several of those I encouraged to play in the first place have gone from 1 to 2 or 3.

The real concern here is that the OP believes it would take 72 planet PI to earn enough to pay for 4 accounts.

I have 8 planets, and no internal strength to run them when they are doing p2/p3? in 4 days cycle.

Love that you are in my head and know exactly what I'm thinking...... OK maybe you aren't..... But you look cool trying to be.

And how many accounts are you reducing or gaining?? Sorta the Topic here, not what the OP thinks....

Since the ice "nerf" I'm up half a dozen accounts. To compensate (overcompensate). Adaptation is the key to survival in New Eden.

8 miners, 2 freighters, 1 booster, 4 gankers, 2 traders, 4 manufacturers, and 1 shitposting forum alt.

Not sure why the assumption was made that most people have reduced accounts... although I suppose this thread does support that notion somewhat. To me it seems multiboxing and personal armies are getting more common if anything though.

I think that this topic is very good way to point CCP issues other than SOV and capitals.
Account reduction means that something is wrong in this place, and i find many similarities here.

1.Ice Changes , where bad to the game - accounts where lost, did something was gained?
2. Plex prices , hard to say if CCP sell more plexes , but it looks like the higher plex price the less accounts are running on them , so in theory less plex needed.
3. Bad expansions , not the stuff players expected.

I think CCP should gather information why people unsubed some of their accounts.

Why brining old , endless ice fields will be bad to the game?

I've always wondered if people read our posts & take it verbatim. I guess I have my answer.

How many accounts are you down to now?

First, your base assumption that I have reduced my accounts is flawed, I have the same amount.

Secondly, I have actually increased my ISK spending by starting 2 new alt training queues.

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.

One. It's always one. I don't do alts because the moment you start getting alts, you're a slave to the game. I would either have to pay out $15 for each alt or I'd have to play all the time to make my PLEX.

Neither appeal to me. I already play WoW for my other $15 and they let me have 50 alts on one account. (granted, I can only play these alts one at a time, but it's still more than this game allows for the price)

All the world's a stage and all the men and women are the players.

TBH all that would happen if PLEX hit the multi-billion level is I might consider stopping multi-character training on a few of the secondary alts that really are trained enough to do their job and I just throw PLEX at because I can.

Aren't you adorable thinking that I was speaking directly to you.

At 3 accounts now as of today (from 5) but pretty much made up my mind to keep three. Off grid booster is too luxurious even if 2 accounts seems to be optimal.

You Miners think you have it so damn tough.  When I first started playing we didnt even have mining lasers.  You had to fly close to an asteroid.....pop a hatch and gnaw at it with your teeth.   - Bitter Vet
