It says it will be available for existing subscribers.
What about those accounts that were cancelled because of the missile nerf and many other issues that have been screwed up and not addressed by CCP over the years?
Will those accounts also get the expansion for free if they re-sub to try it out? Or will CCP stick a thumb in their already CCP-sore arses and not give this expansion to them?
Answer required CCP.

Existing subscribers means those who have payed thier sub. If your account is inactive then pay it and you too can become an existing subscriber. CCP should probably change existing to active to save some confusion.

When you sign up online, you are given a kind of 'cd-key'. You got this cd-key on the disc you could order in the online store, too. So no, I don't think you'll be getting a 'free boxed version' of Apocrypha if you go to a store and flash your account details at the store clerk; it'd make it too easy for people to get multiple copies of the boxed edition for free to resell at a lower price.
As for the downloadable version, as with all prior expansions, it will be free. Think of it as a new 'base client' that new users can download, that has all the content from the previous expansions thrown in. |

Troll detected...
Rating: 3/10
Trying too hard. Troll subject is too stupid. Slightly a new approach, thus the only reason I don't give it bottom score. |

Troll or not, I'm sure this kind of question has gone through the minds of some of the newer players that don't yet understand how the expansion process works to begin with.
Thus we might as well clear whatever misunderstandings may exist up before they manifest themselves. ---

It'll be available as free download for EVERYONE. If you want boxed version then you have to pay.
The only purpose they're putting out the boxed version is to attract new players. It won't really effect old players at all.

CCP English and/or logic fail (when also having the "definition of subscriber" below exclude non-paid accounts). It should have read "all players". _ Create a character || Fit a ship || Get some ISK |

The download will be at no extra cost (standard monthly subscription fees apply of course) regardless of if you are an existing subscriber, a re-activating subscriber or a new subscriber. While you subscribe to the service we provide you with the latest game client at no extra cost.
The box will cost extra but will contain extra stuff (to be announced later, please don't bother asking me). Standard monthly subscription fees will apply after the starter period. |

Due to the number of threads asking this same question, maybe you should include something like that in the original press release just for even further clarification? |

Answer required CCP.
What makes you think only active accounts would get this expansion for free, with inactive accounts having to pay extra to come back one day?
Aside from that being a really bad market idea, of epic proportions, it would also be more work for CCP to make it do the 1-time charge, check to see if it should be done...etc, and end, then and there, the long-standing fact that CCP never charges for expansions, period.
So yes, they'd get it for free. |

Not sure how much more clear they can make it. The number of threads asking the same question just shows how stupid the average person really is.

i have macintosh too, it overheats with classic client in Mac OS, it simply melts when running WIndows OS.

I hope the box will contain gametime that can be added to an additional account instead of starting a new one, if purchasing it gives you a significant length of gametime. I.E., if you buy the box and then get a trial and 30 days out of it, I hope the 30 days can be added to an existing account.
If the box contains no additional gametime (i.e., doesn't give its purchasers anything but a trial) then this is of course moot :) __________________________________

For the newer players, and assuming the op is not a troll. Eve online has never had an expansion. Due to the nature of the game, it would be nearly impossible to design something that fit the mould of a traditional expansion pack. In order to combat this, ccp marketing refer to all content patches, both major and minor as expansions. You are charged nothing for these content patches, just like any other mmorpg. It would be like WoW charging for the patch coming out in the next few weeks. When it is released, the only thing you need to do is download and apply the patch, just like any other mmo

Ginko Joukai does have a point in that CCP should charge ragequitters, trolls and whiners who say they're cancelling their gazillion accounts extra if they come back.

Soooooo your putting in extra stuff for the box set :/ posters, coasters, toasters etc ?
will it be racially based ? 4x different boxes with 4x different content. you could add collectors edition keyrings etc just so you can squeeze more iskies out my wallet.

Depends what's in the box. But yeah, I don't think it's aimed at people who already play EVE, as much as letting people 'see' it in their local games shops without a scary 600Mb download.
