The Lore team has not run out of ideas. The latest News Roundup has lots of interesting tidbits for more interesting, engaging and EVE-like content. CCP’s coffers are running low on money and their marketing team is running high on greed and stupidity, though.
What is the ratio of Omega to Alpha characters playing at any time? I remember the 14 day trial Eve. I know that free to play games were/are a strong fad, but they HAVE to make money somehow, which turns in to ads and in game purchases (plex) etc. If the coffers are empty, then folks aren’t ponying up to pay. Here in the US the cost is $15/month. 2003 $15 vs 2022 $15 are very different. I would prefer hard decisions be made in favor of Eve staying pure vs. a marketing tool or pay to win functions.
