Hi everyone,
If you're not a new gamer, the Alpha state is useless.
You can't do anything, even unable to fly a simple Procurer. You can just connect and see that your account is still there.
No skills training (basic skills are trained for a date), no planetary interaction, no fly with common ships.
Just kidding...
Pay your account ? Sorry, too expensive, I gave enough money to CCP. Not everyone can offer such price.
Make money in game to buy Plex ? Oh... there is real life, not time to spend 4 hours a day to get in game money.
So ?
So, after two years of training skills, I have to leave that game. So sad.
Happily there is a huge number of other games to play as interesting and less expensive.
So, have fun.

So are you complaining about Alpha state or the base price of Eve?
You've been training for two years apparently, so you've been paying for two years (one way or another).
If your circumstances have changed for the worse and you can no longer afford the price of a single plex per month then you have my sympathy...poverty is not a joking matter.
If you're just choosing not to pay...fair enough, each to their own. No need to be whiney about it though. |

You are plain wrong Mr. NeverLeftHighSec Miner. There is a ton you can do, even as a miner. Go huff some gas in Wormholes.

EVE's sub price is on par with most of the other online games out there. No one can "offer" such a price? You mean not every company can offer such a low price, or such a high price, or not every player can afford 10 bugs a month? Try to say it in French? But in all honesty: I didn't know things are that grim where you life, sorry to hear that.

Less expensive? Yes. As interesting, personal preference.. I still prefer EVE. But perhaps EVE was never the game for you. If I understand that right you only played 1% of the game anyway. |

An Eve subscription costs 36 cents a day. Trivial if you enjoy the game. Free is too much if you don't.
Alpha state is perfectly viable for some play styles. There are a lot of players having fun and making a decent amount of ISK in faction warfare and Nullsec alliances. Solo highsec PVE and industrial gameplay is restricted - too easy for veteran players to exploit.
I believe Alpha state is primarily intended as an extended trial - give people a real opportunity to experience the game before hitting a paywall and I think that is working well both for CCP and the game. |

4 hours a DAY to PLEX? Perhaps you should ask some other players how they do it. If you can't pay the sub that's not funny. But the alpha limitations are not that bad, just stick to exploring, scouting, trading or FW for a while.
And regarding other "free" games: All "FTP" mulitplayer online games I played so far had micro transactions and even the most basic gaming added to more than a usual sub costs. But maybe you want to look into some classic single player offline games, those are dirt cheap or even completly free. (If you don't mind outdated graphics.)

OP you are very bad. If you have been playing for 2 years or are beyond alpha SP you know there are "free" ways of making your eve sub.
Secondly there are quite a few things you can do as an alpha even in high sec. Mind you mining in a barge isnt one of those.
@Scipio if he needs 4 hours a day to plex an account I dont think he has any "stuff" to give anyone.
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.
Had to end sometime.

Honestly, this. I spend about four hours a week making the money to plex my accounts.
Though, to be fair, I usually end up spending it on strippers and quafe.

EVE has never been anything but pay to play unless you're hauling in tons of isk. Quit thinking of Alpha clones as a free way to play eve, and start seeing them as a really really long trial account for the game. |

15-20 minutes every other day for me to plex approx 5-6 accounts (if i wanted that many). Also just to run it in for the OP, i could do (have done) 80% as well on an alpha clone with a months worth of skills
HTFU Op i find your lack of minerals disturbing.

It helps to pay for PLEX and you still learn some skills. In this case the learning speed is comparable to alpha, but you dont have all other restrictions. |

There's a huge difference in potential ISK income between
- An Alpha that's part of a nullsec organization and can earn nullsec ISK undisturbed
- An Alpha that's still struggling to figure EVE out and/or hasn't found a suitable Corp yet
Check your facts and include your assumptions before claiming Alphas can easily earn a lot of ISK. And AFAIK you can't extract and sell your first 5 mill SP (or can't make a profit doing it) specifically so Alphas can't generate income that way.
What good are irrelevant comments and inaccurate claims to someone on a trial? Do you imagine that claiming results only a small proportion of Alphas will actually achieve will be good for Alpha retention? |

Back on topic - the OP seems to be a "Swan Song", so the odds are good that the original poster will not be back ...
... but the disinformation / foolish boasting will be visible on the forum for a while, and the title will probably attract Alpha Clones, some of whom are using an Alpha as their first EVE trial. For that group it's potentially quite harmful. |

Quote:Forum rules33. "Quitting" posts are only permitted on the Out of Pod Experience channel.CCP recognize that during the course of gameplay a lot of friendships are made between players and that sometimes if a player is taking a break or departing from the EVE universe that they would like to say goodbye on the forums. Posts of this nature are only permitted on the Out of Pod Experience forum, and must be civil and well worded.

Nope, Lang Wang got it right and it seems you didn't read the OP. He was subbed for two years, can't afford 10 bucks a month and can t afford to grind EVE 4 hours a day either. The thing is: When you play EVE for two years you should have ways to earn enough ISK in far less than 4 hours and never drop down to Alpha in the first place. OP complains that highsec mining won't do the trick and is probably right with that. But there are other ways and some are even open to clever alpha players.

With all the "but all I wanted to do is to mine in highsec in peace" threads one wonders if a "Mining in Space" simulator would make you rich. Or would it be lame without the space wars because everything was just as meaningless as it could be....

You're doing it wrong. Play EVE Online? Pffft. The real fun is reading and writing about EVE. This also gives you time to play videogames and have some fun without bothering/worrying yourself with whatever stupid is on the works at CCP's offices.
