EVE Information Portal

Just my two cents:
I like the combination of Aur en Plex. Never saw any use for separate currencies
I do not like the vault idea. EvE is a tough game. Losing PLEX is part of that and should stay at is is. There are better ways to warn new players to not fill up the cargohold with PLEX
Not converting the less than 1000 AUR is a very bad idea. CCP will make lots of people very angry because they will not see it any other way from it being blatantly stealing from the players. I suggest CCP finds an other way to re-imburse us customers.

Of all people this is commented by no other than CCP FullCon.

Now that is not reassuring at all.

Stuff like this really pisses me off. All it does is screw people who didn't use all their Aurum, which is hard to do because CCP have made the NEX Store and Aurum Bundles in ways to try and keep people from ever being able to use it all. And of course we can't transfer our Arum between accounts so we can give one account ALL of the Aurub we have, no we'll just delete it all.

And what about Aurum Tokens? They are available in sub 1000 amounts, those are just gonna be dumped too?

Dunno, I never in my life mistook the number '1' for anything other than '1'.

As to this Plex issue, having never had the need for plex since multi boxing got kicked into touch, the whole thing seems to put it politely, a non-issue.

However, the darker picture here is this advertisement, seems the selling reptiles have slithered in by the back door to me battering your face with products no one would ever consider buying in the first place always missing the real point here, that if it really was any good people would already know all about it and would not require this intrusive prompting.

He just wants discussion friendly currency. Instead of talking purchasing 500 PLEX for same rate as 1 PLEX today -- he wants to keep purchasing a PLEX and talk breaking it into 1000 milli-PLEX. Or following EU suggested currency deci-PLEX (1/10th PLEX), centi-PLEX (1/100th) and milli-PLEX.

I favor the plan that keeps EVE doors open to play. CCP has to pay bills to do that.

TBH the CCP plan makes a LOT more sense at least from a marketing standpoint. I can almost guarantee that CCP will NOT continue selling NewPLEX in 500 lot units such that users can compare to old PLEX prices without thinking. CCP may need to ease players into new game time costs to pay CCPs own bills.

Old PLEX is 720 hours of game play for 14.95 without any discounts or specials.The RL CCP base price (not volume discounted) price of PLEX would equate to 0.03 USD per NewPLEX.

But I expect CCP to sell in all sorts of lot sizes (100, 250, 333, 750, 1000, 5000, etc) both for user flexibility and to simply erase the old cost of game time from user minds.

The simplest round off of NewPLEX to game time is 1 hour game time. It could also go to 2 hours if CCP wants to gamble that skins and other EVE Store stuff will skyrocket. I suspect that game is too big. TBH that sort of gambling favors the more straightforward milli-PLEX.

So I suspect OMEGA game time costs will be raised behind a NewPLEX change smoke screen. But the results will still favor most players if you can buy time a few NewPLEX at a time. Turn on alts full skill for few hours at a time.etc Decide to pay for time to train up skills versus buying injectors etc.

Why not just convert PLEX to AUR ?…
That would make more sense, than converting AUR to "microplex" (brrr… who ever thought of that),

Where do you buy a Plex for $14.95?
1 months game time via "Add game time" is $14.95
1 Plex is $19.95 via the Plex store.

My biggest issue?
Do not put it in our inventory window.
We don't need to be consistently reminded to upgrade and have our UI cluttered with PLEX related items, especially for an Omega account.

I wish the remove this nonsense in the first place, wish eve was not a causal farming money cellphone game. Atleast that`s what is happening to eve lately and still going that way.

The only mmorpg without super stuff. But again even ccp failed in this. That`s why my subscribe is stop. And for now it looks like it will be stop for good.

Greetings capsuleer!

You make a bold claim that Eve Online is "a casual farming money cellphone game" Further, you make a second claim that "At lest that's what is happening to eve lately and still going that way" We(1) are very interested in this money farm via cellphone in Eve Online.

The words farming/money/casually, has peaked Our(1) curiosity and we are very interested to learn of said changes to Eve Online that have happened, and are still happening, that have turned Eve Online into a cellphone money farming game. We understand there are money farming cellphone games which are free to play that will soak you for hundreds, if not thousands, of real life currency in order to compete in said game and would like to know more so we can scrutinize your claim that it is the same with Eve Online.

Are you able to explain to us how Eve Online soaks a POD Pilot, via a cellphone, with paid for in game content, in the currency of their choice? The last we checked, for a small $14.95 monthly fee, less if you pay for multiple months in advance, you get access to the full game, minus some cosmetic effects to ship and character.

Of course, maybe you were referring to skill injectors that can only be bought currently with Aurum and how a new player with more real life currency than brains, in the current instant gratification culture, can simply buy their way through skill point advancement by injecting skill points another POD pilot has already taken the time to train by buying those skill points via PLEX conversion to isk. Have no fear brave muppet(2). Those fresh into the game, who buy their skillpoint advancement with RL currency instead of time, have no idea what ship inertia is let alone how to use it to their advantage in a combat setting.

Furthermore, there are plenty of POD Pilots who enjoy popping, dunking, and blowing up these nerds in a spaceship game over the internet. Rest assured those who buy their skill point advancement with RL currency, in lieu of both piloting skill and understanding of game mechanics, are losing their assets quite frequently. Indeed, someone who buys their way into a battleship via PLEX and skill injectors, yet has zero understanding of transversal, is already dead. They just dont know it yet. This, my friend, is a good thing.
