Ok good to hear its bcs a sale
Wasnt that active in eve due to internet problems and didnt notice it and when i came back yestaerday i was shocked
Ha ha. I bought 500 PLEX yesterday with the express purpose of spending most of my ISK to that, in the end, Iâm no longer feeling like Iâve left âloose endsâ after quitting EVE. Iâll move myself into a situation where I have no recourse but to pay for a subscriptionâŚ
âŚand then thank for the privilege. What a dumpster fire this MMO became, unbelievable. You can really tell the difference if you havenât played for a good few years.
YASI (Yet Another Stupid Idea):
Alpha - Free
Omega - $20
Epsilon - $15 ($20 - $5)
Requirements for Epsilon. All numbers are just SWAG:
- Must have a sum of 40Mil isk in hull destruction of ships as a victim or winner.
- Any damage from NPCs, Fleetmates, Corpmates, or Alliancemates disqualifies the kill. (Awoxing, ganking, and stufff like that).
- Value from the hull to the sum is proportional to ratio of your damge appled to total damage applied.
Itâs not an event. Think of it as being rewarded for REAL content.
In theory, the content of a killmail should have the required information.
if ( ( ! ( npc || corp || alliance || fleet ) ) && ( damageappliedbyyou > 0 ) ) {
monthsum = monthsum + ( hullprice / ( damageappliedbyyou / totaldamage ) )
}
âEpsilon Fleet forming in 30 minutes!!! Letâs go! Letâs Go!â
So once a month I just kill my alt in a 40 million isk ship if I want $5 off?
Yes. Just like padding your killboard.
Do you know there is economic crisis in the world? Do you think rising prices will give you better income and rise number of players? If so⌠go learn about REAL economy.
Apparently it did. The number of players left wasnât that big no matter how they â â â â â about it, so CCP raised their profits either way.
It is actually you who needs to learn REAL economy, because this is how it works. From economy point of view it is much better to raise the costs and generate higher income in short time, than generate the same income in long term. Even if it means the product ceases to exist/customers lose interest sooner.
Prove it
Well I am judging by number of players I see everyday in Jita and highsec space. It didnât change much, and whenever there is this event it gets significant boost.
All the players I know are still playing and if they arenât they left from other reasons than sub price or PLEX price. They do however decremented the number of omega accounts they used to run, but these accounts lost are not real players and less multiboxing is a good thing.
But okay, I didnât ran any analysis on the PCU numbers to back it up with. It is just an observation from ingame. Sure highsec is much less populated than it used to be few years ago, but did those players suddenly left after price increase or even before? Part of the reason for highsec being ghost town sometimes are also abyssals too.
That being said, I am not trying to defend the cost increase. In my eyes it wasnât justified. (At that time, now with energy costs crisis, I would have sympathy for that I guess.) I am simply stating that CCP is making profit on this decision, not a loss.
Opinions are like a**holes, everybodyâs got one.
In my opinion the only one that knows the facts of the financial impact of the price increase is CCP, and we wonât have a clue until PA issues it financial statement to itâs stockholders.
Well youâre friends are not me and I unsubbed ALL of my accounts BECAUSE of the sub increase. Yourâre friends donât represent the community.
High sec population is just high sec , grow some balls and move into low.
Yup I get that. I unsubbed all mine as well. I just run the free Alpha. I would love to see the data CCP has on how the ratio of Omega to Alpha accounts has changed?
Where people either dont exist or huddle in station?
Ooooh scary
High Sec
Low Sec
Null Sec
âŚ
Ok thats fair.
Wow a free week omega and Numbers get above weekend-high.
26k, didnt think i would see that again.
Now drop the omega by 33-40%,
=double the Playernumbers and you got your money and we have player to play with
but thanks for the free week to be fair. time to get my alts+catalysts in use again.
You can update the game all you want in desperation to fix your obvious neglect for years, but you have just priced your company out of the market with this idea. Will not resubscribe. Is there any other way you can afford to pay for your cocaine habit.
ok it was just for a moment, but 3 Months for 15,99, thats what i want to see.
Finnaly at least something to make ppl happy⌠but makeing the players happy must be a mistake⌠wouldnt happen otherwiseâŚ
Just cannot get behind the price hike.
the new ships and the ânew contentâ I put Quotes as it really only affects the people who actually want to goto Low Sec.
I just feel is not enough to Justify the price hike.
Your the oldest game out here and now the highest paid.
You forgot to add the least content!
