Yet CCP are considering a multi account discount to offset the increase if you have 2 or more accounts which would keep the cost before/after the increase roughly the same if you had 3 or more accounts.
Must suck to be a single account poor 
I will give you that, but surely there will be sales on the new prices as well. But agree on sales you can get Omega really affordable.

I didnāt go back and double-check this isnāt the lunar landing, but my point was the guy already bought 6 months and he was posting like now he was going to start to buy 1 month. I do think it is a little silly for players to compare only the 1 monthly price increase. If you play Eve a lot, why would you only buy a month at a time? If you know you will play for let us say several months get it cheaper that is the smart thing to do. I would go as far to say if your budget is truly that tight to let your Omega expire, save up the cash and buy the 6 months or 1 year package. 2 year, I get it, that is a really long term commitment to CCP and a fair amount of cash especially if you have multiple alts.
Cut washing the car once a month, drink two less coffees a month, smoke half of a pack less of cigs, donāt drink two red bulls, I mean the list we all probably waste money on is really endless. Now it should not be video games tightening our wallets, but if here, this probably needed to happen and get real-life in order.

Reading through this thread has been interesting over the last few days, point raised for and against the change in price.
Most people seem to agree that Eve needs to change as itās just not doing it for people weather you have 0 subs or 10+ subs.
I very much started off in the āthis is all badā camp but maybe a change is what the game needs.
Yes people will leave, multiboxers will have have less multi to box, fanfest may have some cool stuff to announce.
Everyone wants change, no one likes change but change is happening to Eve.
Guess itās just a matter of time to see if the change prolongs or quickens the trail off of players.

That was funded by tax payers (via the EU).
Horizon 2020, grant agreement Nr 732703.
Again what player that has been playing for a year plus is paying one month at a time? I donāt and never will have the data, but this has to be small, my guess would be under 10% of longterm players pay cash monthly. I mean if you are not buying Eve game time on the sales every quarter that makes sense, shame on you.
But let us act like the world is not turning on the one month, that is probably the most unpopular option, and the least used buy medium to long-term players. And only used as a sample of Omega for new players that are still on the fence.

I guess Iāll be sitting on my hands with my thumbs up and fingers crossed until fanfest. Thank you for sharing this!

The only announcement I can think of that will overcome the price hike is that we can log in multiple characters from the same account. That would make me very happy.
And the login numbers would rise. And MCT would rise some.
The downside is that a lot of folks have large skill point toons on different accounts.

We dont trust CCP because we dont understand their vision.
for example DBS and BRM were explained as ways of making people leave home space to be more nomadic. yet, everything about citadels is dedicated to home space (you arent going to move a sotiya and give up billions in rigging costs) not to mention the ihub upgrades.
besides, if you over rat your system are you supposed to rat in your neighbors system?
the whole idea that content is generated between friends is absurd.
We have been offered content via triglavian space, abyssals , and proving grounds. nothing about this encouranges groups of players to engage other groups of players. not that it is bad content, it is niche content that some people enjoy, but doesnt meet the needs of most groups
whatever this new content is going to be, if it doesnt satisfy both small and large organizations it will be just another round of temporary fun for a few.
the neverending interference with the economy has destroye the concept of a player or market driven economy. heavy handed changes to resources and income faucets have turned isk generation into a grind for the majority of players.
we need to see a vision of EVE, not vague hints of better stuff in the future.

me too hahaha! 
I would also like them to add helmets to the āPilotsā that these can be bought and sold.
Yep, point taken, but for if you move a lot, like for example doing Epic Arcs which are actually at least a little bit shakeup of missions with some storyline, you are out of luck, since every 2-3 missions you have to go somewhere else and then you either need an alt to haul your stuff or pray that somebody picksup that courrier contract in middle of nowhere
Unsubbing is a statistic CCP can track, this lets them know that they will get no further funds from an account when a sub runs out. Unsubbing lets CCP know how you feel about the recent price increase. Fanfest may cause some to resub, who knows.
Personally I am a miner and industrialist, I love to craft and explore so the past two years of āStickā with very little āCarrotā has been unappealing to say the least. Add to that a price increase because they lost the Russian market and canāt afford to develop new content without it and it pushes me past the breaking point. I will spend my money elsewhere.

Helmet skins that match in game skins for actual real world bike/motor bike helmets.
I do recall lots of forum posts of hate calling for them to be banned from Eve.
Now you pay the price. YOU lost the Russian market, your leaders lost the Russian market. Not CCP.
Frankly, you deserve the consequence of blowback. Good luck getting them back.

hey they just cant PAY for it with rubles (last price i did know was 999 rubles =13 dollar per month) atm.
so they still can play as alpha or pay with isk.
(gladly correct me if i did miss something about it, didnt read into it really)
Seen enought russians passing byā¦ but i am not in ns so i dont see the big scale live tbhā¦
but would think most will come back after ā¦ hopefullyā¦ the war ends.
-well at last if they dont get the price hike couse things are in average tighter there kindaā¦
but well its just a coffee anyway
Started playing in 2008 I think, game used to be great. I un-subbed my 8 accounts yesterday, no delivery on content or game improvements that would justify as 33% increase or whatever the percentage is. Iām out.
