Let's talk about the good and bad stuff that comes with it.
For starters, I think the active eve population will go up, by a lot. Possible reaching 200.000 players on a normal day.
I also think, we will have 4~7 cloaky neutrals in every null sec system, that afk all day.
Jita will stil be limited to roughly 2000 players, but instead. The entire constellation will be nearly full. Reaching Jita would be impossible.
Suicide freighter ganks are more easily attained. As 1 guy could get 150 free to play accounts and use rifters to suicide on 1 Freighter.
The bittervets and other old carebear people will quit the game. But instead for every one of them, eve online gets 30 free to play players (who would probably never pay or barely go for microtransactions).
Time Dilation is a natural thing, as it will affect everyone, for the whole time. Fleet op Fights will probably resulting in a lot of server crashes.
But there are some good things too that come with it. We will have more people to play with! I, believe that eve online currently is a stable game, and due to this, will attract a lot of new players if it were to become free to play.
However the game will be changed so much, it won't be eve as we know it. |

posting in a stealth "EVE is dying" thread You may gain the knowledge, but you will lose your belief, with all its mystery and comfort. If there was proof, absolute and certain, there is an afterlife, why not quit this life, and be done with it? Ponder about these things all your life, and you're a philosopher. Compress these ponderings into a couple of pages, and you'll go mad. |

F2P would kill eve, simple. It would be ruined by the microtransactions that would replace PLEX purchases and subscriptions. It would tank harder than SWTOR |

Let's scare those rich people with communism to manipulate them easier!
F2P isn't that bad as microtransactions in subscriptions-based game. Quote from Sean's interview ~6 months ago:
I see the world as a microtransaction

WoW says hello.
PvE game (and the devs will flat tell you that's their focus) with consensual PvP. #1 in the industry.
What you will get are all the freeloaders in gaming, who use up the resources, pollute the environment and the game sinks due to it all.
Because gaming is NOT free. Someone is paying for it.
No money by all, no goods for all. "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell

I preferred Eve when peak was 4k players. It really was like the Wild West back then.
I failed very hard at playing it though. It's a lot easier now.

(Shudder) I remember the childlike excitement of receiving my SWTOR collectors ed box, playing in the beta and looking forward to that.
Then actually playing it live was such a disappointment....sad panda!
They basically turned it into a totally partition dungeon version of wow.
EVE is best with the level of players and seeing it in 2004 with about 10k on server at once to yesterday with some 46k, I don't think the game is in danger of any stagnation, its such a slow burner.
I find the microtransaction model is just a bit gimmicky tbh. |

Lander explanation about tEve existing concept of free to play and the repercussions if this concept would be changed for the current models, is quite clear.

EVE simply isn't structured to work with the classic F2P/Cash shop model. Why on earth should CCP do such a thing when they're already seeing good year-on-year growth with a very high Average Revenue Per Customer?

Good things: CCP can now focus on developing Dust and World of Darkness.
Bad things: revenue from EVE will approach zero; not enough devs will be kept around to reprogram every single mechanic to account for what happens when alts become free; players will leave in droves; new players are still as uninterested in EVE as ever since price was never a factor that kept anyone away; the economy tanks; server closure in less than 12 months. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

Yeh I agree. But, take a look at the video. It looks good and lets face it, most of what we can see in eve can be traced back to elite.
