at this point, a really good question to ask is: what game is more expensive than eve on a monthly basis?

disco Elysium is the āspiritual successorā of F planescape torment the best RPG ever made
i got it for 5 dollars , eve cost 15 dollars a month
EVE is super cool and stuff but i think its not close in therms of bang for the buck
readig that hurt. because itās true.
eve is a mediocre game at best. itās real strong points are the graphics and the player community.
other games have nice graphics and itās player community has been eroding for years now.
I have the feeling it has been rotting from the inside for years and this price hike is just the last money grab before they close up shop.
i just hope they release the game source code in case someone wants to pick it up later on or just for the love of game coding.
i think eve is AWESOME
but i played for more than 10 years that is 15 dollars X 120
the bang for the buck is kinda small
1800$. not to mention the lost time and productivity. you probably lost on a real career in real life because of this stinky pile of dung.
yeah but fun is fun
i play hundreds of games
puzzles rgs roguelikes etc
imagine for example the witness
OMG WHAT A MASTERPIECE
you can get it for 5 bucks
If I feel that the game is fun and permits me to make new friends then ā¬20 is ok.
Given that no other mmo has any long lasting appeal to me and most not even just a short term one, Iād say that EVE is pretty special and well worth the money, whether they want 15, 20 or 25 euro doesnāt really change anything in that regard.
Partly because I play to have fun and am not interested in any kind of isk vs cash comparison and also because Iām not one of those āmust have 17 accounts otherwise Iād lose like 0.07% optimisation and even worse I might have to gasp interact/trade/teamwork with othersā.
Thatās so ā¦ capitalistic.
Not everything in life should be viewed through revenue and profit.
Besides, my story is a confirmation that I havenāt lost - but gained. I was a CEO of a corp a looong time (12+ years) ago while I was still freshly unemployed after the college.
The first job I got was when EVE coprmate asked if thereās someone willing to learn to code for one popular e-commerce platform. He had connections to a company which provided us projects. That job lasted for a couple of years after which Iāve went on my own freelancing for a while and then joined an excellent RL company thanks to a recommendation from another EVE corpmate. The third ex-corpmate is now my best friend even though he stopped playing years ago.
So, EVE brought me 2 jobs and a best friend for life.
My opinion is that the cost of 3 accounts should be equal to the price of a new-ish game big title game
So like Ā£45 a month.
Why? 3 accounts are the amount I feel are needed to enjoy the game as an 18-year vet.

I used to think $15 a month was fine as it was always fun and had great times, however after all the crap theyve done to destroy the game the last several years I would think $10 a month is more than enough. I have 10 accounts, currently only have 6 subbed at the moment, I am waiting to see what comes from fanfest before I make a decision on what to do. Industry/Mining is what Im into and for the most part they have made it a real pain in the ass to do and quite frankly not being able to get everything in Nullsec like we used to is just stupid.

10.99 considering how old the content is and the Game Meta never changes for every āExpansionā its not worth 19.99 a month.

All eve has to change so that everyone will be fine with $20 a month is increase character limit per account to 4 and allow 2 active char log onās per omega account.
This will in turn allow the single boxāers to get a taste for dual boxing and will encourage a multiple character training so CCP can get that extra income if they need but the players can do with 1 training char and 1 active but not training char for a more reasonable price if that is what they want.
This will also allow solo players to have a cyno alt without having to pay for a whole seperate account every month which feels like a waste.

The price Iām inclined to pay.
It goes like this, you either pay or you donāt. Discussing it in a thread changes nothing.
It amazes me people think this forum puts any pressure on CCP, CCP is more worried with Reddit than this.
Some people will pay, some will PLEX, others will alpha and the last pack will leave. SIMPLE LIKE THAT.
You guys donāt need to discuss any single idiotic thing.

You will be surprised but CCP have taken a lot of ideaās from these forms and have implemented it already so your comment is already inaccurate.
Interceptorās having a double speed prob mod overheat was asked for on these forums, black out (no local) was asked for here (a lot) so was warp stabs in faction warfare complexās and a lot more and CCP listened and implemented a ton of stuff.
$12.95āat $15 it was already overpriced. $20 is just delusional.

It can be found in business journals that 2% to 4% price increase would increase profit by 20% no matter what business.
The way I see the prices presented to us it feels closer to a 6% price increase. I am not too concerned as my calculations include entertainment value.

Next step: make the main forums omega only. Suddenly we lose 90% of the useless whiners and ragers.
