Do you know that doing isn't spelled dping? You make my PI seem like it takes no effort.... guess what sunshine.... try it on just 3 characters and find out for yourself just how much effort it doesn't require.
Not even close to being on topic..... looks like all you want to do is try to attack my posts.... |

To be totally honest, I'm thinking on dropping 3 accounts I'm paying with PLEX and start paying with subscription.
These 3 accounts are all very old and all 9 characters on them are very specialized in several fields and I keep changing between them to have my share of fun.
But the main reason I would start to pay, again, the subscription, is not the PLEX prices as I can make that with easy, but because I've been playing other MMOs out there, some with subscription, that I could not have the same fun I have here, not to talk the customer services and public relations of that other companies are really lame compared with CCP.
CCP is not perfect, they have plenty to improve but, IMHO, there is nothing better in the market right now. And the game, well, I love it.
Fly safe.

We have had two accounts for ages and haven't dropped any accounts or taken any on. I am a little worried as to what will happen to the game post-Crius with all the industry changes which don't really seem necessary. I would have rather seen the corporation roles & permissions fixed first and then multiple user corporation assets secure POS use before the stuff being implemented tomorrow. But I'm not in charge.
Regarding 'EVE is dying' type comments I think the jury is still out on that one and I won't be surprised to see a increase in online figures. The recent graph on the Mittani site was interesting and did show a worrying steady decrease in players online in New Eden. Certainly in the UK we are having nice weather in July for change when in numerous preceding years the weather has been foul. So I think a lot of people will have grabbed the opportunity to get out and soak up some rays and watch girls or boys go by.
There has been other stuff as well like the World Cup, Commonwealth games soon and other sport type stuff not that I care for such things. I think we have try and remain optimistic that things in-game will work out in the end. So much in RL is going down the toilet atm and we need somewhere to go to get away from all that ****.
PS We pay for our accounts via yearly subscription. It's pretty cheap that way. |

The only way I could reduce the number of accounts I have is to leave the game again (I just came back, don't rush me).

I have 5 accounts
I have had five accounts for about 5 years. Occasionally I let one lapse if I don't need them for anything, but I usually end up resubbing after a while. Sometimes I let them all lapse if I just need a break from Eve - so far however, I have always returned with the same five accounts.

If the update means less zombie mining alts and more real people to interact with them i'm all for that kind of updates. It's a MMO and solo multiboxing play shouldn't be encouraged. |

When they did the ice changes I dropped 7 accounts, 6 miners and 1 booster as I dont use him nearly enough to justify the account its on.
With Crius Im dropping my towers so I could get rid of up to 3 accounts but still undecided.
Still have 4 accounts paid by CC and 5 plexed accounts atm out of a total of 22 accounts.
For me its ebb and flow of the game and taking advantage of situations where more or less accounts are optimal for what I do in game or want to do in the future. A lot of my in game friends are taking breaks or unsubbing entirely due to the changes though. Strength isnt measured in numbers but in force of will. For if one motived willful individual stands many will fall around him that are weak.

It's a comment on a statement you made in this thread so stop derailing your own thread .
You made this post just to hear more people complain about the price of PLEX, but then some people like me are a bit smarter in aquiring passive isk then doing 50 PI plantes and others grind their isk while being online wich tends to bring in a better amount of isk as it should be or they are just greatfull for any passive isk and don't complain about it on the forums But then calling a 6 sentence reply a ''wall of text'' show how much your brain can handle before it goes blank.
It's called general discussion not general agreement for a reason , if you can't handle a vicil discussion then i suggest not starting a complainthread would be a good idea.
Now put those fingers back in your ears again and reply with a general ''nananannanaaaaa i can't hear you ..''

+1
I also now buy PLEX to convert to ISK, as the cost of not being a peasant is that I have less time to waste making ISK.
So, bring on the higher PLEX prices. it increases the value of my real money, and I am much more interested in the value of real money,then the value of fake money.

This just made me giggle.
I'll stick with two accounts as well, cuz i can't be bothered to multitask beyond that number
I 'play' EVE for fun, not 'WORK' EVE to pay for the extra accounts.
Having said this... i wonder if CCP has any numbers on how many people actually never pay for their account.
Funny that the people in the highest echelons of the mega alliances/corps prolly pay CCP the least (if not nothing at all) in RL Iskies
Don't get me wrong though, i think it's admirable if u manage to make it so u never have to pay a dime to play EVE by leeching your corp/alliance |

will probably cut my industry accounts, i have 4 with 3 chars each using all the slots... once the current work is done i guess im done with t2 manufacturing. :(
the fun thing is that i had my money on t2 manufacturing being moved out of highsec... so in preparation i have been doing my manufacturing and invention in lowsec... been a year now and outside of a random bash that was pretty easy to chase off i had no incidents. so i was confident should the industry change move all production to low i was ready for it. in the end, it was the slot changes and the new found easiness of entry into hsec production that made me stop.
weird.
i just don't like the changes, specially the whole team things. and to top it all off there's nothing extra for lowsec manufacturing... just more pain due to having to use BPCs all the time. i don't really mind that change since i liquidated all my t2 BPOs about two years ago, but i did buy a few Capital Parts BPOs that had to get resold in a hurry. :/ |

Someone had to buy the PLEX for it to exist, so those who sub with PLEX end up being just as, if not even more valuable. PLEX is cheaper when bought in bulk, but for singles cost $20, vs. the $14.99 per month for a direct payment sub. The real curiosity for me would be: how much is each individual PLEX worth to them, based on being purchased in the various degrees of bulk available? |

You think this information on the forums is somehow more comprehensive than the server and subscription data CCP has direct access to? They won't even give this thread a second glance. They don't need to. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita.
