You’re happy to pay more for a game that’s delivered nothing new or groundbreaking in years? You my friend are just the type of person CCP are looking for to play their game!
Someone who will bend over and take their punishment with a smile on their face and come back for more every day!
Wonderful!
Will this affect thrid party retailers? I currently buy PLEX from green man gaming as they offer a student discount. Will third part resellers still offer PLEX and will they move to these new packages?
Exactly
Fun fact: CCP would earn way more If they decrease prices instead of rising them.
Dear CCP…If i can play all my 3 Charakters on my accounts at same time you can increase but NOT SO.
Right? I’d be willing to resub a several of my 11 accounts for $5, maybe even a few for $10 a month. But no way I’m paying 15, much less 20 when all CCP does is nerf my playstyles out of the game, add more instanced crap, and tells me the things I want, ship skins and updated/new core gameplay features, have no place in the game because some hurf blurf about not being able to do them forever.
This would be logical, if the company didn’t have constant profits in every quarter, as well as the fact that non-US customers have had increases over the past years, as well as being shafted on exchange rates. Somehow $20 = £20 = €20 in CCP eyes, where in reality it is £15.58 and €18.52, a small difference sure, but we have been paying it for years already, and they have pocketed the convenient extra funds. Increases happen, but don’t expect people to pay more for the same product that is nearing 20 years old and on its knees due to changes they have made in the past years, especially when non-US(at least UK and EU) playerbase has been ripped off for years already.
I sub 10 accounts, this will hit me hard.
For the content we get, I’m literally feeling scammed… being told to wait and wait for the ingame indy changes, I wait and wait. Now, “give me more money” while you wait
Very nice move…right before the fanfest. These news will create a festive atmosphere during the fanfest (sarcasm).
Poland:
Despite people here working harder to earn way less while paying western prices or even more, the massive coal dependency (thank you back then Russians) is like this right now:
1 ton cost ~950 zloty half a year ago. Right now, it costs 2300 zloty. It’s almost the number of the lowest wage which western companies like to pay here which most of the people living here earn.
People who took loans from a bank to finance their own home now need to pay the same loan they took but with a monthly rate increase of like 62%, literally breaking their necks, making them maybe loose their homes.
This price increase is just another attempt to jump into the opportunity to ■■■■ people even more, a stealers occasion.
You do realize that if prices go up for you (for whatever reason) then they also go up for other people and business too, right?
Yes but usually salary gets bigger with inflation? How much were you earning in 2003 compared to now? Where’s the bonus to ISK amounts for : Incursions, Sec missions, Loot etc. If we pay more, we should earn more.
It’s totally the wrong direction IMO, they should make it cheaper and then focus on selling more bundles and encouraging players to multibox with Omega accounts. Our corp has alreadly lost multiple players to the changes. It’s a shame really. Many will leave.
Are they just squeezing a stone until it turns to dust?
Agree 100%. Just started this game and was looking to sub more accounts. Feel like quitting.
Yep. If it continues we could make a reddit group to have a final last battle, burn the ISK blow up all the ships and just leave with a bang! CCP people wake up please! You’re moving in the wrong direction! This game can still grow but you need to reverse this and reduce prices. Focus on bundles and accessories instead
The people designing SKIN cost more than they make from selling it in game.
Thankyou ccp for letting us know that the price is going up. To be honest a lot of positive changes have happened to eve online recently. I respect this was not an easy decision and I am happy for the price increase, however people who have several alts farming wont be happy. However thankyou and keep up the content you have created. I 100 percent back this choice
Shitstorm incoming in 3…2…1
same here … all caps for fire sale and use the isk to play - isk are over is game over …
