Anyone, who thinks, that alphas will be new players is not the smartiest person in the world. Without massisve (and I mean really MASSIVE ) advertising company in mass media no really new players will come. Most alphas in the game will be alts of experienced players, IMHO.

Good if so. Really. Cause I noticed only few banners in youtube side panel (apparently because I do play or follow the EVE tutorials) and couple of articles some time ago. I think that current clone change is the maximum what can be done to get absolutely new people into eve universe. So I would expect CCP to really use that to propagate the game heavely. Now or never.

I dont get why CCP is not advertising more.
All I see is the occasional flash banner that I probably only see because I am allready playing EvE.
CCP should put the new EvE Trailer as Youtube adds bevore Videos and even considder playing a short trailer in mainstream TV. |

the market for pc games like this are so narrow that tv marketing is pointless, pcgamers tend to not bother with tv, console gaming yes because the market is soo large that it works for aaa titles

My 60-year-old mother saw an EVE commercial while watching online tv. So there is not-insignificant advertising going on. Not "MASSIVE", but it's something. And in any case, the real source of new players will be existing players finally being able to convince friends to play who were put off by the subscription-only model. |

The cost of eve has never been what drives new players from Eve and hopefully CCP knows this. It's the standard stuff, the steep learning curve and complexity. Being "free to play" is not going to erase spreadsheets in space or the infamous eve cliff of learning for new players. |

This isn't true. I personally have 4 or 5 friends who don't like to pay monthly for games because they play a lot of different games. They have all noticed EvE going F2P and all plan to try it out. I'd be surprised if this situation is miraculously only happening in my neck of the woods.
It's interesting how you suddenly know everyone who DOESN'T PLAY EVE well enough to tell us why they never picked it up...

I am disappointed in the alphas, however. I was hoping that they could launch cynos so that I could use a jump freighter, but that's out. And I they can't use a cloaking device, so they're not very useful as scouts. Both devices require Omega level skills.
Oh well....

want something useful? pay ccp to make your job easier, alpha clones making your omega clone easier for free is not what the alpha clones are about, this has been discussed since they announced it

I play solo quite a bit, and I was looking for ways to avoid having to PLEX a second account to interact with Null sec more effectively. I have read a number of the posts on this expansion, and I understood that it was always the intent to limit the roles of Alpha characters to mostly High sec activity, but there were a few comments that suggested that they might be able to play low-skilled roles in Null sec. It's quite clear from this, however, that CCP seesNull sec as a "team activity" and solo players will always be hobbled there. So, I'll focus on High Sec industry, Low sec PvP and write off the rest of the game.
After all, it's a game; I'm not going to lose any sleep over this, but I was hoping to be able to be more engaged in "wrecking their dreams".
By the way, I could run Incursions often enough that I could PLEX a second account to do this, so it isn't about money for me, and it wouldn't affect CCP's income if I did convert a second account to Omega skills. But, it would take about half my playing time each month, and I don't want to work that hard at it. |

the more the merrier. So far eves community is really welcoming. Even assholes will help people out. But everyone wants the game to grow. And noobies are the lifeblood of any game. Looking good so far

thats exactly why the alphas dont allow this, it was clearly mentioned numerous times why giving alphas the ability to cloak and use cynos would be abused majorly, you cant even log in an omega with an alpha as extra security this doesnt happen, youre a killmail waiting to happen if you dont have scouts and cyno's for your jump freighter.

It'll depend entirely on how good the NPE (tutorial) is as to whether "new" players stick around.
By "new" I mean people who don't have friends who play already.
All of the previous tutorials have been somewhat lacklustre to say the least. I'm not sure this iteration will change my viewpoint. |

The game has been around for how long?
The people that wanted to try it have for the most part.
I think the result will be lots of tourists.
Fingers crossed they drop some $ on a plex and some skins before the vacation is over. |

The fact that you've seen any says that there's an ad push on, and Lan is right, I've seen about a dozen articles or more on the upcoming Alpha Clone feature since it was announced. Anyone with any interest in Eve and higher average media consumption than a luddite knows this feature is here. |
