So everyone - including me - will have their opinion on why we have the huge Omega for Plex sale this weekend. What intersts me more is what you all think about whether it will help to revive numbers in the game, in advance of the new update? ---

Ok…so why isn’t this allowed? I’m confused…. ---

Companies usually have quarterly earnings reports, and the September one is one of the more important ones. But sometimes a sale is just a sale. We haven’t had one in a while, and maybe they thought this was a good time to have one? ---

> [@Sevlec\_Saaad](#): > > What intersts me more is what you all think about whether it will help to revive numbers in the game, in advance of the new update? I don’t see how a discount can revive anything as it’s temporary. Anything that would attract new players would have to be permanent like new ships and modules, games mechanics and new faction like Traglivians. ---

Two effects: 1) getting a few more accounts re-activated (temporarily) and 2) moving plex from players back to ccp. Nothing sinister. ---

Some people even created a thread for posting opinions about it. It was right in front of you: > [@300 PLEX for Omega - 40% Sale](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/300-plex-for-omega-40-sale/377981): > > Greetings fellow capsullers, Today we have a sizeable cost for Omaga plexing, from 500 PLEX right down to 300 PLEX. That is a full 40% sale. It is, as far as I can remember, the biggest Omega sale to date. Are you going to seize this opportunity to activate more game time? How will the sudden price hike of in-game PLEX affect you? What do you think triggered this sudden sale and what are your opinions on it? For people doubting this sale is real, here is proof that it is working: … At any rate, Destiny may be correct: sometimes a sale is just a sale. The deep discount (double the normal) and very short term, as well as not listing it on launcher or in emails makes it look like an experiment to me. They even emailed me yesterday about the 50% Omega/MCT deal without mentioning the Omega/Plex deal. So guessing they either want to see how much Plex a sale like that sucks out of the system, or they’re planning on a Plex sale coming up and want people to burn some now, or they’re feeling antsy about the “Players leaving? It’s summer - they’ll be back” dismissal and are trying to jump-start the “they’ll be back” process. Or because they’re CCP and they have strange ideas and enact them on a whim. Still boils down to “buy Omega now if you’re using Plex for it”. You’re unlikely to see a better deal for some time. ---

> [@Wadiest\_Yong](#): > > Two effects: 1) getting a few more accounts re-activated (temporarily) and 2) moving plex from players back to ccp. Nothing sinister. It also means that a higher proportion of PLEX will be used for omega status compared to other things, and drives up prices of things like extractors. Not sure what the effect of that will be overall but thought it was worth noting. ---

I don’t think CCP cares about the investors. It might have to do with Pearl Abyss CEO being replaced. Maybe the new CEO of Pearl Abyss want CCP to start making money. Remember CCP has lost money the last two years. This will the second quarter since the New PA CEO was appointed. ---

Definitely not a turning point. I came back last month to get prepared for the patch. Was figuring I’d end up unsubbing to the ganking changes. Now the patch has dropped, the ganking changes weren’t all that bad (they didn’t implement the tether restriction) but game performance is so bad I can’t even play cause I’m missing kills to load screens. (My response time has been lowered to the point where the targets I’m hunting will be done before I get there if they’re minmaxxed correctly). So yea, not only did tags cut into my bottom line but now I have no bottom line until CCP fixes the load screens Typical CCP though. Release a bunch of unfinished trash nobody asked for and try to sell it with hype and RMT. /Unsub see y’all next year for the next round of disappointment [Next page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/is-this-weekend-the-turning-point-for-eve-online/378293.md?page=2)
