Not really, they just compromise the game instead. It might be pay to progress faster, which encourages building grind into the game model, or nickel and diming, which encourages putting content (usually cosmetic) behind a paywall.

Having a subscription fee is a burden the game has to carry, a downside to playing it, but it is a metalevel burden which doesn't actually affect the game itself. 'Free' games almost invariably just move the burden inside the game world as described above, which is why 'free to play' is, in the vast majority of cases, synonymous with ****.


You forget the best reason for the sub fee ... gets rid of the transiant riff raff who don't care about EVE.

If you're paying for something, you're gunna commit to it. Be it as a piewat, Jita scammer, spy, leader, flunky or carebear, they're all as important as each other.

I don't even want to state the total amount of time over the years that I have been subbed and yet never bothered logging in (or having a skill training).

But that's probably just me, the point stands in general I would imagine.

A(freaking)men to that.

This is also the genius of PLEX. When you spend hours ratting to get one, that experience has more value than the "free to plaY" situation of "log in/play game".

I see You all are quite Passionate about eve Online never really met such a lot in my life who enjoy Paying corp taxes, subs ,$60 monocles, and lose 1k worth of plex I have to say thats quite admirable. I admit I lost 3b worth of stuff in a orca in a WH playing cat in mouse against a Pirate corp as well as blobbing with BNI.I guess its worth $20 a month.Dont tell no one.

LOL Im not a troll However My Friend who stopped paying eve does have a gripe being this is a gripe thread I have a question to the Eve commuinty is it true that if you have a account that is not active for a period of time they delete it Im serious he was pissed off and I never heard such a thing. So i need some official verification because what happens if I spend over a trillion isk on skills and ships and I go MIA for 3 years without paying subs do I get Deleted????
Thanks it a real concern of mine.
