there is alot that needs to be done with the game and hopefully something like this will happen eventually in the long run. also the game could get new young people interested. ---

Well I’m playing this game since almost 12 years and I think the first step into this direction from Test accounts to alpha omega was a mistake in first place because people complain more and more about everything that isn’t free , introduction of skill injectors was a mistake aswell going full f2p and rely on micro transactions will destroy the whole game ---

i sent an email saying that and asked them to consider it for an upcoming expansion hopefully sometime this year because free to play could be good for the entire community. ---

Yes, you want to pay less but again, how would no (or certainly less) revenue coming into CCP be a good thing for the game? You claim younger people would be attracted? So? Why is that a good thing? Why not just more people in general? ---

So basically your argument is , paying for a game isn’t good because it isn’t good and people don’t like it? But that the company has to pay employees,server, maintenance , development etc you don’t care ?+ this Game was never f2p and ccp already gave you the opportunity to pay via ingame currency or play a limited version of the game for free not only for trial .If that still isn’t enough , it’s prob. the wrong game for you and you should play a game like world of tanks , which basically gives your the same option , to either pay for a premium account(omega) or f2p account(alpha) , just you can’t get the premium account with in game currency ---

Tired of too many people demanding everything that other people have without either paying or working for it. EVE cost less than $10 per month with any long subscription; around $15 if you pay per month. If that causes you economic stress, you need to quit playing computer games and focus on your job. The enhanced alpha accounts have just been catering to a bunch of people too cheap,lazy, or whiney to get things done themselves; this, of course, excludes both new players wanting to try the game out and people “parking” their characters until they have either the time or money to return to Omega status. Both the latter realize that they are getting a large part of the game and updates for no monthly fee and accept the limitations. The other Alphas appear to want it all and want it now…waiting to see them turn blue as they hold their breath. ---

I don’t like paying taxes. But I do like schools, hospitals, emergency services, roads and rail, etc. I think most people can appreciate wanting to pay less for things, such as a game subscription, but there are benefits to it also. It’s a business, and a business case would need to be made to support most significant changes. Someone who crunches the numbers in detail would need to take the idea beyond a feel good sentiment. ---

Sigh. The optimism of youth. When you grow up and get a job, you will learn that nothing of value is free. Good for the whole community? Please elaborate. Young players aren’t interest in Eve. It’s not available on their phones, it’s too complicated, and there are no influencers on YouTube playing it. Why would a corporation stop their revenue stream? CCP will not make Eve free to play. Not this year. Not next year. TLDR:stop being poor ---

I cannot see how alphas have improved the game. They didn’t boost activity of the game nor ccp’s wallet as far as I’ve seen. I cannot see any reason why we should go further down this path. If a little is bad. More must be worse. ---

Eve is free to play. Anyone with multiple accounts already knows this. Subbing omega is as simple as buying plex off the market. It isn’t even a significant time investment to get the isk for the plex. ---
