Tau Phoenix wrote:So, where will this change end up going?
Currently one PLEX is equal to 30 day of game time - Simple. By granulating this into a smaller commodity i can see the following happen:
PLEX units will be a smaller nominal cost to purchase with RL Money.
At first 500 PLEX units will = 30 days, then we will soon see 300 units = 14 days, 180 Units = 7 days. This can have its merits.
My concern will be if CCP decide that next month we they will change the requirement to purchase 30 days of game time to say 550 units of PLEX, then 600 etc.....
By having smaller PLEX commodities will give a greater control to manipulate the market, both in RL through the price to play the game and also the ingame markets as a consequence.
This will be another defining moment in CCP's history when this hits.....lets hope its not another 'Monocle gate'.
Oh noes!! CCP might raise it's price!!!
It's been trucking at the same price through 13 years worth of RL inflation... |

Someone on the CSM (etc.) leaked this infrmation. PLEX pices didn't just arbitrarily spike 200m ISK overnight "because". Even if the leak wasn't expressly stated it was certainly implied. No tinfoil or conspiracy, but you'd have to be an idiot not to recognize the extreme coincidence with the timing.
I mean, that's fine. This won't be the first or last time certain alliances have benefited from advance knowledge on the CSM (etc.) so why should the vast majority of players expect anything differrent this time? This will be the last time I vote in the CSM and I hope it's finally abolished. .....
Insofar as the proposed PLEX changes are concerned, I'm fine with all of them except one: CCP's initial decision to not reimburse anyone below 1000 Aurum. I think the reasons stated are quite frankly ridiculous, and this is nothing more than a blatant attempt to squeeze in more Aurum sales for CCP and drive-up Aurum demand for resellers prior to the switch. |

It's completely outrageous for CCP to effectively steal players' AURUM when they have less than a 1000.
Presumably, they are doing this to make everyone with less than 1000 buy some more to get over the minimum requirements. CCPlease stop being money grabbing bastards. |

CCP Phantom wrote:Changes are coming to PLEX, Aurum and the New Eden Store! Our first planned change is to convert every existing PLEX into 500 PLEX. After the change, anything you could get for 1 PLEX from CCP will instead require 500 PLEX. We will also convert all existing Aurum balances above 1000 Aurum to the new PLEX. Check out the blog for further info on this exciting change: PLEX Changes On The Way!Please note, these changes donGÇÖt have a set release date yet but will be coming to EVE Online this spring or early summer.
are we still going to be able to donate plex to our allies in the game. because i use 3 accts and i only bluy plex on one

Dividing up PLEX is only going to make PLEX more confusing. Players will need 500 PLEX to play for one month. A new person is going to be confused as to why they need 500 units of PLEX. These changes are simply to phase out Aurum. Peoples Aurum will be converted to PLEX and it will only be good for some game time. Why not let people just convert their Aurum to isk and use that isk to put towards the purchase of a PLEX? Keep the PLEX good for one month of game time. I really don't agree with many of the crazy changes CCP comes up with. Mining and industry pilots have been neutered. The changes to the mining barges are ludicrous. Why is the litle dinky procurer an invincible ship and the covetor is left weak? Why was all mining barges reduced to two strip miners. When I started mining years ago I mined in a destroyer. I was so thrilled when I could finally fly a retriever. When I upgraded to a covetor and had my hourly mining yield increase it felt empowering. The ship heiararchy in eve has small ships that are weak, but agile and fast moving. The different ship classes generally get better at their traits as they become larger, defenses increase and the ship becomes less agile and moves slower. There is a consistent skill training heirarchy to training to use the larger and more effective ships. The changes to the mining barges defy these principles. The changes to refining yields don't make any sense either. Why have refining yields been reduced to 60ish%? When people refine at a NPC station they're already taxed for the services. People who mine in low or null sec already have access to the really pricey ore and minerals. Why make it super difficult on the high sec miners? The changes to the mining yields might not have had any real market effect, besides driving up the isk prices of minerals. Why make it so that refining never yields more than 75% of what it used to? |

PLEX doesn't work for the New Eden store in its current form, Aurum is a third currency and you need a conversion for ship SKINs and (future) microtransactions. It's not really going to be that confusing. ISK will continue to be the in-game currency and the new PLEX will be the out-of-game currency that's safe, secure (new vault) and can be used to renew your subscription, resculpt your character, etc. You'll just need more of it - meaning the new PLEX will likely be sold in smaller increments going forward.
We can expect to finally see the New Eden store overhauled, revamped and expanded with many new features and service offerings. I for one welcome our new Microtransaction Overlords. |

personally i like the idea of updating the system, but imho you guys got lost in the process..
beside being used as currency to exchange real money to isk, PLEX remains an item.. while AURUM is currency..
if the current system is confusing, this change will cause even more confusion.. also, it doesn't really match with possible updates to the clone states..
imho, it would be better to actually keep aurum (or call it differently), let players buy plexes using aurum as a common item, and add various type of plexes, allowing for more clone states.
for example.. OMEGA plex will be as is.. BETA plex, costs less than a plex, let's you fly whatever you're trained for but cannot train new skills SPECIFIC CARRER PLEXES, let's you fly and train only specific type of ships depending on your career of choice.. etc..
in this sense, plexes becomes a family of items..
if you convert plexes in currency, ofc you can do the same, but it won't be less confusing..

There was a thread on Reddit discussing the fact that the company that runs Serenity is approaching the end of their contract. How this impacts the new PLEX or what this potentially means for Tranquility is anyone's guess. In any event I'm not privy to enough information to be even able to speculate at this point. |

In short, no. H*ll no. Burn this idea with fire no. There are ideas and then there are just horrible bad, ill-conceived ones... |

they introduced clone states assuming there would've been "more" clone states in the future f i'm not wrong..
it's less confusing because to buy game time you buy an item that gives you game time.. an item that has a price and a value on the market.. An item that has a slot in a specific market page..
exactly as it works now, beside you need to buy aurum before buying plex.. but that's the reason why you have an "external currency"..
otherwise one could buy SKINS directly in dollars..
but, hey, i'm not here to convice anyone, just throwing my 2 cent that, of course, can be crap |

Really, and how about the 900 Aurum I bought for -ú3.99, i'm just supposed to suck it up and lose it?
I'll bet, same as other on here that it's nowhere near legal.

or you buy 2700 more aurum so you get a plex instead |

What CCP does is perfectly legal. Read the EULA that you agreed to when you created that EVE account. They only grant you a right of usage, not ownership of anything.

Um, no? Just buy a plex convert it to aurum, and leave it. 4400 AUR will STILL be converted to plex. You get your plex back, and the conversion of the extra 900. Unless there is something you really want from NES.
As for legality, I assume they will stop AUR sales as we near release, bot for their sake, and because I am sure there is a grey area when it comes to selling someone something then taking it away the next day.

Don't care about 500 PLEX vs. 1 PLEX for 30 days of time. Same end result either way.
Do care about the PLEX vault. There should not be any form of secure asset transfer in EVE. If you want to move any other item, even items far more valuable than a PLEX, you have to use a ship and be vulnerable in space. Why should a PLEX be any different? If you want to move it to a new location you should have to take the risk just like any other cargo. And if that means stupid people get ganked and lose their expensive cargo, well, everything working as intended IMO. |

I remember CCP Falcon's posts regarding the safety of the Universe and he has always been behind the dangerous one. I don't think everyone in CCP shares the same enthusiasm behind every idea, but in every pool there is a bigger fish that sets things in motion.
As for me, I don't mind both ideas. Gankers already have plenty of other things to fish for, they just lost the biggest fish that's all
Whether I'd be calling it an omelette or fried eggs, 1 PLEX or 500 PLEX, nothing scary about that.
P.S. I am waiting on the big news - player built gates, hopefully we'll hear the big plan in April. |

This is just another way to milk MORE cash out of us players, nothing more. And to be honest, if 1 months of game play is 15 bucks, then 1 plex should also cost only 15 bucks. they equal are they not? Someone post a screen shot of the current plex pricing, mark my words, it will cost us more for the same we have been getting now. |

Another one who didn't understood the change. PLEX will be no ingame item anymore. It'll be new premium currency. And "vault" is just premium wallet. Actually it can't be named "Pilot's License Extension" anymore. Everything else is fuss to hide the truth.
And damn you CCP!

Plex, unlike subscription, is able to be traded and sold for isk. You can't sell your sub for isk. Thats the way it was meant to be.
As others have said, I'd like to see smaller time-allotments. It makes perfect sense, and with the new split I see no reason why not. If anything, this would benefit alphas. Being able to go omega for a small amount of time, or for an already omega to gift something to an alpha without spending over a billion. |

I like the change. Aurum always felt like a 5th wheel.
Since you are making big changes to PLEX: Can you bring the price of a PLEX in line with the price of a 1 month subscription? At the moment, PLEX costs 20Gé¼, 1 month subscription costs 15Gé¼. Make them both cost 15Gé¼ please. |

Considering that plex has more uses than 1 month of game time, it therefore has more value and should cost more than a sub. However I do not expect this change to affect pricing. |
