Originally by: Sh'ger Well Game UK have the pre-order on their website. Expanding the box cover art, which could obviously not be the final deal, we see...
Exclusive Quick Start 60 day Game Time Extra Standing Points New Strategy Guide ZX Rewards (?) VIP Pass
Ladies and gents...you know that system they are going to use to buy Plexes directly off the site...well, here is where its heading.
One toon out of the box will get some of these goodies...The 'Exclusive Quick Start' widget. The 'Extra Standing Points' widget. CCP is adding a microtransaction 'leg up' looks like.. You want to start a new toon with all the extra goodies..that'll be rl cash for the 'Quick Start' thing that will show up in game and when you use it you distribute your points. You want to start with extra standings? Here, dish a few bucks CCP's way for the 'Extra Standings' Get into L3 missions on day 1.
Or at least that's what it smells like. So shoot your favorite useless alt in the head and wake up a good 'hauler' alt in no time. Fair for everyone with a bit of cash to spend on their favorite game. Probably only apply-able once to each toon.
Or at least that's what I got when I removed my tinfoil hat for a while. --

As long as i can use these things on my pre-existing characters i don't mind that much. I just dont want them to somehow make my newbie a gimp compared to newer newbies ;_; My newbie was lucky enough to get its forum portrait a day after it was created, its obviously a lucky alt ^__^

Originally by: 01shining01 Edited by: 01shining01 on 30/01/2009 12:19:43 yet it is only speculation, ccp and the dev not decide anything yet
but...
ccp has no choice if he wants to win new market share, it should more skill point, or make the time spent on eve online increasing the skill time training, not forget that it takes between 6 and 8 months to have the skill and pleasure in pvp, and that the average time a subscriber on a mmo is around 3 to 6 months only !
most new subscribers are tired of having to spend months or even years waiting stupidly, games and pay for nothing, because they have already done the same thing on other mmo.
Eve Online is the only games in the time spent in line not increase the speed of skill training...i think is problemme for the new souscriber in eve online.
in any other MMO, you can have fun in pvp after some hour, but not on eve online, or you spend time waiting, because the time skill is fixed.
they could have made something like counter strike also. but they didnt. welcome to eve-online. stop whining already. or go play wow
the famous comment, go to play wow ?
knows that courtesy in the world of Eve Online?
if you post on this forum, to make stupid comments, go to sleep young man.
you have no valid argument

What a horrible idea.
What's next, give everybody 1 billion ISK to start?
The problem with EVE is there is too much ISK, too many BS and Cap ships, etc. The fun and challenge is building and growing. Give new players high skill points right off the bat and you will find a ton of players that only play for a short while then quit. This would also encourage solo play, and that is a cancer being that this is a multiplayer game. This would lessen the need to be in a player corporation and that also encourages solo play.
Horrible idea.

Originally by: Emanuelle Jasmine Anyone else thinking that they will up the SP a new char gets when the boxed version is released?
WHO CARES.
The skill of the PLAYER counts more than the SP a character has.
There is no race, any competition is in your own idiotic conceptions of this game, and your own inpatience with your own inadequacy.
SP does not make you a good pilot.
your own intelligence and how you use it does.
Learn2play, learn2adapt, and quit blaming your own failures on other things.
STFU and GTFO.

SP=Subscription time. Subscription time = Money/ISK.
If you are giving more SP, you give more value for the new customer's $$. |

What I wonder is that, no matter what they decide to change or upgrade for new characters after Apocrypha launches, will this just be for new accounts activated off this new boxed set or will it be for all new characters, even those created on old/preexisting accounts. |

Surely, you jest!
Not teaching new players to make good decisions (current way forces you to do that), not teaching players to think through what skill to train (current way forces you to do that), to allow new players to use modules and ships way above their learning point (proposed system would do that), just how does this give "value"?
If that is "value", then just what exactly is "getting screwed" then?

New characters will start with 10 mil SP?! OUTRAGOUS. I HEREBY DEMAND THAT CCP REDUCE MY SP BY 50% BECAUSE I'M WAY MORE HARDCORE THEN THESE M10 NEWBIES.
In addition I believe my SP/Hour should be cut in half, and I be assigned an arbitrary 50% to 75% income tax every downtime. I also believe all my ships should start with NO ARMOR and NO SHIELD and I should be forced to structure tank ALL my ships.
I've spoken CCP, stop being noobs and make it happen. ...

Are you kidding me? 13m SP to a new character from buying that box? That's what I have! 13.5m SP, and I have played for something like 2 years or so, with a 1 year involuntary break.
I would feel totally ***-****d if this is true.

I try to hope that the average person has average intelligence.
Then I read this...
The average person seems incapable of reading.

the famous go to play wow...i say maybe if you play eve online still has one more year, I offer you a lollipop.(i think is one good idTa for one veteran reward)
now, more seriously.
the new player meets several problemme, unable to be part of a corporation , because all corp accepts only player with several million skill point, for example.
and if you have the misfortune to create your own corporation, you are wardeck after two days because the other corp does not want you progress.
new players meet several problems you say... new players starting with 1mil sp nowadays. When i started i started with less then 100k sp. There are plenty of corps who take new players, inform yourself better.
Do you know that it took me more then a week mining for better frigate? We had corp mining operations to get cruisers. Took 10 of us couple of weeks mining to get first corp battleship. Back then we were stargint with like 10k isk or something like that.
War deccing new player corps. You think that there wasnt such problems 2,3,4,5 years ago? What have you tried to counter it? There is plenty of merc corps who would do some pro bono work, as bit of marketing for themselves. Also some very good merc corps who would do it simply because they dont like wannabes who like to kill new players. Have you tried contacting anyone to sort it? No, why? OH IT TAKES EFFORT, WHINING ON FORUMS IS MUCH MUCH EASIER.
And you are telling me that new players nowadays are having hard time? Bunch of spoiled "want it all now" children behavior imho. Eve demands some patience in different aspects, if you dont like it, as i already said go play wow, cs or some other "faster" game.

Up the new player SP to 1 million from the 800 000 odd they start with now.
Use the extra 200k to put them at extremely basic skill in all fields; everyone should start with Engineering I, Electronics I, Navigation I, Hull Upgrades and Mechanic I etc etc.

Hmm..will buy the boxed game to add to my collection of games on the shelf. About giving extra SP, not sure what to say on that. I started a new character for my son and been training him for the future. What amazes me how FAST he gets SP! I had something like 100-200k when starting, he had 800k+. He has gotten to over 6mill SP in way shorter time than my character did. Sure some because I now know better, but still. With a bit of using your head and planning a bit you get a character you want, efficient enough in a very short time... |

Why isn't anyone from CCP doing the crowd controlling here? This topic is already at 6 pages afterall. Just makes me to think that yes, indeed CCP is thinking about the possibility of changing the starting SP amount somewhat.
