I do, a green one
As a 12 year old girl, serving multiple consecutive lifetime sentences in prison for destroying pixilated spaceships, I will say this.
I want to burn that gecko with fire.

It varies from player to player. And the grind is more rewarding according to where you operate in New Eden.
I agree completely.
Personally, I think there’s a balance to be found, and that’s why the argument that “EVE subs cost less than $15 per month” can potentially become true.
If you’re playing as Omega for 3 months using real money, then use some of the ISK you earn from being Omega to pay for a 4th month, you’ve effectively paid $15 per month instead of $20 per month. Depending where you slide that balance point, the weight of in-game profit can be more or less in your favour in different situations. If you’re waiting through 11 months before having enough “spare” ISK to pay for a sub, then it’s much closer to $20 and if you’re paying for a sub with ISK every second month (or more often than with real money) it shifts to (or below) $10 per month.
The list price, however is still a “first point of contact” for most potential paying players, and while it looks out of line with competing products (it does), there’s valid reason for concern that it’s costing more in sales numbers than it’s earning in extra revenue from those willing to pay. If you’re getting 33% more money per paying customer, but losing 50% of paying customers by doing so, the numbers don’t come out in your favour. If you only lose 10% then the profit tipped in your favour slightly. It depends on numbers which CCP aren’t sharing.

Should we expect the possibility of payment from Russia?
Depends how the mass invasion goes when the ground freezes.
i still say it was stupid to raise the fee. while ff14 is still at 10,99€ but ok you cant compare that 2 games… completely different… the one you can enjoy a lot even without any other player… the other one needs (imo) a lot of player… the more the better…
i mean… i loved eve a few years ago. prices was like less than 100€ per year (1-2 times a year special offer), so i did even pay when i wasnt playing for a few months.
When i did play active there where always like 40-50 k online… lots of wars , lots of pvp going on always and nearly everywhere all around the clock… same for pve, mining etc. it felt healthy.
now often… you fly through 20 wormholes and nothing… you fly 2 hours through ns on your hunt… nothing - besides some times 1-3 ishtar bots which are instantly docking the second you enter the system and the defense fleet sitting in their stageing.
so… often eve just feels empty if its not at the hotspots.
so i would think a more fair price… like 10€ per month instead of makeing bank out of the few poor souls who cant leave their addiction would lead to more player = more content and entertainment for everyone…
instead of an hard overpriced old game with maybe 5k real Player with each 3+ alts which are needed to keep at least the look of at least low-average player numbers and to do solo thinks you cant do without a group and became your own group… yeah fun.
and 5k multiboxing player are different pvp pray than 20 k individual players

Raising the Price Sucks. But I doubt CCP cares/is smart enough to fix it.
Sometimes I feel they bought insurance on this place and then got a bunch of gas cans to burn it to the ground.
Shame on you CCP

I just started to play this game, but I was surprised, what the hell is omega? This actually is subscription, but crazy expensive for a game. I looked on this forum for thread if people are really ok with that. As I see, it doesn’t looks like that.
Pre price policy is crazy, I get for the same money internet connection + TV package. The value is totally somewhere else than the value of the game.
I would expect that if you buy some bundle (for a price of a new game), I get lifetime omega.
CCP get their money + more money from microtransactions (PLEX) + more from different bundles, etc.
Why so expensive subscription?
If subscription, than it should give players something real, like som PLEX, some special items, something what is worth the subscription.
I’m not sure if I should play the game. Maybe I will try how far can I go with alpha and than I’ll see.

Quit whining.
Why does this thread keep getting necroed. Let it die.
I’m new player of this game and was curious if player are really ok with playing expensive subscription for a game that has all element of F2P game with Pay2Win (buing skill points - quick learning for money, Plex - better things for money, …)
I like the game, how it works and so on, but I’m causal player. It looks like limitation of Alpha its fine in the beginning, but I’m thinking if I want to pay in the future.
Paying for a good game, even full price (20 - 60€) is fine, but paying 20 / month seems too much, even with discount / year is still expensive.
Aiko and Zaera are thinking that asking is whining and are picking sentences from my post without context.
If this is how Eve community works, than I will better len this game go.
I know there are people addicted to this game and spending a lot of money for it and don’t care, but there are some they quitted.
Maybe letting this thread live is not a bad think, maybe devs will think about it, maybe not, if people are paying and player base is sufficient than is ok from the devs point of view.
It is always good to review the opinions after some time, after the first resistance to the change (which is mostly negative, as mine as a saw prices for omega).

I see, toxic childish community, or at least some “members”.
Please don’t answer if you have nothing to say.

I do have something to say. The game is FREE TO PLAY. So stop crying about the cost of a FREE game. It’s pathetic. Just play the game (or leave).
It’s F2P by the name, but it is more a demo.
There is a lot of limitation, but playable in the beginning.
This means if you want to play more and enjoy the full potential, you have to pay monthly fees.
What I wanted to know how people think about it, why are they paying, how they look at the pay2win aspect, why made they the decision to subscribe, what are the alternatives, …
Just smalltalk.
An PLEASE stop being rude.
P.S.
It is not about completing and whining, it’s about understanding. I try to understand people with different mindset.

Just to clarify.
I would like to see this alpha (F2P) with full unlimited skill tree.
It is ok, that learning takes 2x more time, it is ok if I can’t fly biggies ships, … lot of things is acceptable for F2P, but not if I can not choose my path, because I’m limited by skill points and skill tree.
I would propably buy some bundle to support the game, but not subscription as it is now.
It is obviously time consuming and I’m not sure if I want even start the journey.
(Just my opinion, not winning, not complaining - info for some members, they don’t want to understand the point)
