$0.50 cheaper than the original monthly sub, so basically yes.

You guys might as well do your next thread and saying you are shutting down cause that is where this is going.
COD doesnt even money grab like this at least they provide some cools skins you actually wanna own and that others can see.
I agree the real source of outrage and anger here is the fact in my view CCP has done nothing to advance the Triglavan/EDI war. It really fell flat with pochven in my opinion. This and the combined history of CCP so I can really see why people are so angry
Yup! And I have been very consistent here. Itâs highly unlikely CCP will reverse course on this price hike. So we must adapt. @Sasha_Nemtsov made a great post about money saving also that I resonate with.
EVE is a luxury game. Itâs entertainment. Some people here assert that somehow a space pixel video game is above all else. When times get tough or external factors like this happen people need to change and adapt spending habits. Patience and living within your means are key to good money habits. I get why people are angry! They have a very valid reason to be!
I base my views that CCP is unlikely not going to change course on this change and the most logical choice as consumers is to buy omega in bulk.
Because if your here playing EVE. An entertainment product like anything else a person likely is doing well off or has disposable money to throw at things like this. I donât think this is unreasonable to infer.

That has to be the best quote in the whole thread.
The first thing to leave peoples bills under hard times are the luxuryâs and entertainment costs. This baffles me why a price hike now? I understand Iceland has very low heating bills compared to the rest of the world generally speaking, but the cost of everyday items must be going up. I am sure CCP understand this.
Well itâs there business and we are there customers. The game is only worth what people are willing to pay. For me I have let all my accounts move into Alpha (Alpha is rubbish after Omega and No you cant have my stuff). It can stay that way until I can afford to pay for them or I loose interest.
Over 3600 points of view in this thread and someone from CCP is reading everyone I am sure. I am from the UK and we are well known for queuing quietly and voting with our feet ( when we are really mad we tend to wright an angry letter, did that to the CEO (no reply or acknowledgement).
I only have four accounts but money is in my account bitches 
Love and peace

Murphys Law - âThe longer you are standing in a queue, the greater the probablility you are standing in the wrong queueâ.
As you say, the running costs for CCP have gone up but wonât effect them as they just pass them down the line onto the customers whose cost of living has gone up aswell, a double whammy for the customer. EVE is no longer a leisure game, but a luxury game.

Good Job CCP. You raised the price 33%, and I reduced my accounts by 66%. So far. Who knows? Maybe 100% after I think about it.
This is an absurd price for this game.

Unfortunitly the best solution at that point is wait 11 months they pay the amount they where going to pay to CCP into a savings area and play as an alpha in this time then when the 12th month comes buy a full year at the discounted rate, and then they are saving what would be a lot of money to them.
Itâs expensive for me being in a 3rd world country I was going to pay with isk/plex but then plex jumped up by 40% so stuff that -_-, lucky I have savingâs so am doing the 1 year option, 2 years im scared of as Iâm not sure where eve will be in 2 years.
If you pay for eve monthly it works out to 10% of a 3rd world countries monthly income its a pretty terrible rate, the yearly rate at 6% is still rough but do-able.

They easily cover the costs + more on just skins alone. Nothing to pass down the line lol.
WAIT WHAT your going into debt why have 10 accounts then. Is it null requirements?
They dont want it to die. They want us, those that have, remember, and give a â â â â , to leave. Then they can sell everything for cash. â â â â grinding i can buy my whole battleship fleet for $200.00. Trash.
I bet you most of the players complaining here are super hoarders who have 15 years worth of plex if they converted their assets to isk. Iâm sure CCP can see that too. Go sell your shtuff and buy plex.

well cant help but notice there are more and more people selling there isk for real money its gotten to the point where 500plex (1 month omega) is worth $11.4 cant help but think this change is just loosing ccp money since more people will go else where or just not spend money on the game anymore. (this does not mean i support isk to irl money trades just that ik the numbers)
The first mistake was making players reevaluate the value of the services provided.
The second is doing this on the back of 2 years content drought and hostile game development.
Fanfest failed to deliver a engaging and emotional argument of Why Eve is the game to play in 2022->2023.
EvEs value propersition right now is the community, not the content, and CCP donât have the good will with the community to cash out on that.
Now it might be that at CCP are hiking the price to give financial headroom for content creation, to then deliver on the investment⌠But youâve taken 2 years of money, you donât get to do that , you have to build the circus and bring it to town before you can charge at the gate.
That said, the price change is coming⌠What is CCP going to do in the immediate future to make the value proposition more favourable? Enhanced skill training(tripple the training time), built in mtc for 1 alt? (free training queue for 1 additional character), better log in rewards and some grace on them? (let me log in every 3 days to grab them).
Thatâs the issue here, youâre not serving or seeking to serve your customers, you are gaping wide a ravenous mouth, with hands on your fat gut, expecting for your wine and grapes as weâre expected to provide it. What work have you done to earn your keep? Because I donât see it.

To add some further analysis , so the buisness model is;
dominately free to play with a dependance on microtransaction and subscribed accounts with a inferred knowledge of multi-Omega account holders for multi-boxing.
The free to play accounts and the microtransaction revenue stream they interact with hasnât been effected by price increases, therefore Iâd say thatâs evidence CCP do not see this as a stable and engaged enough system to seek further monitization.
So we go with the approach they did take, levying Omega accounts further, but a price increase will only price multi-account holders out of that habit and also increase the jump between Alpha and Omega players.
IMO the call would have been to lower the price, further enabling the habit of alts and making it easier for Alpha to become Omega. Less friction = more flow.
Or we could have left it the same but increase the value propersition.
We squeeze where we think weâll get juice.

Afraid they not getting it, my bicycle now has a few hundred pounds worth of extra gadgets instead that would have gone to CCP. Plus playing Elden ring instead, excellent game.

Thatâs the issue for CCP, people will move on and not return.

What I also find a bit sneaky is that 12x Multiple Character Training costs 199 âŹ. A second account for 12 months would cost 149,90 âŹ.
Such âoffersâ lower CCPâs reputation for me.
