This is a discrimination! How come users from European countries pay Ç14.95 (EURO) and users from other countries - $14.95 (USD)? I've paid 14.95 USD until this month (only $19.** for new account). I didn't know that player's race, origin or location are the key parameters to form a price. You say that you need to apply VAT but I'm not sure that there are such high VAT of 30% in entire EU.
You've stated that you stop EVE Linux development, now you will rise taxes ... what to expect next?
Anyway I'll prepare a petition as soon as I can. I'm deeply insulted by your mail I received a minutes ago. Anyone must have equal rights and no one to be classified as black, white, american, european, muslum, christian or other type of discrimination elements.

Because the EU and the European trade zone say everyone in Europe has to pay in Euros.

Edited by: MyOwnSling on 26/02/2009 17:19:25 This has nothing to do with race, it's regional. Two brothers who live in different places could end up paying differently. Don't be so quick to pull the race/religion card. -------------

Edited by: Wacktopia on 26/02/2009 17:27:07 This annoys me too. If the sub is $14.95 then it should be about Ç11 - Ç12 euro
1 U.S. dollar = 0.784313725 Euros
P.S This has nothing to do with race, I think you're barking up the wrong tree there mate.

DO YOU REALIZE that 14 euro is actually more than 14 dollars ?!!? if they want me to pay in in euro they have to reduce the price so it could be equal to the dollar price.
so in real americans are paying lower price just cause they are americans ?! why I have to pay more than them ? cause they are poor or what ?
so in fact only the EU players are paying more than the rest of the world ? am I black or something ??!

They would be constantly adjusting their prices if you want to take the exchange rate into account. That doesn't like a great idea to me. The current method doesn't discriminate by basing the price on any one currency. What you propose would. -------------

Edited by: Kahega Amielden on 26/02/2009 17:29:54 That's right. CCP (a company from Iceland with servers based in London) hates Europeans. They only tolerate your presence because you provide something for Americans to shoot at. Pretty soon they're planning on just banning you all from the game anyway. tl;dr move to America or shut up

Edited by: Illwill Bill on 26/02/2009 17:31:21 When buying something in the EU, you pay VAT in the country where you make the purchase. The buyer's location is irrelevant. I'd assume that the VAT accounts for aprox. 20% of the price, and that CCP then rounds everything up to 14.95.

Why dont you whiners read some of the other threads on the topic... then you would have your answer.
It is because of the EU and how VAT works within EU.

My God, you've managed to misunderstand the whole discrimination issue. Lets forget for a second that racism is not use of language, but context and intent (something that most people seem to miss) and focus on the face you seem to think that you shouldn't call a christian a christian or an american, american.
N****r is racist. Black is not.
Jesus freak is insulting to over sensitive christians. Christian is not.
Calling someone a terrorist because they're muslim is racist. Calling them muslim because that's what they are is not discrimination.
I hope I explained it simply enough for you and I hope you've learnt something. Now go an play WoW, you are seriously affecting the average IQ of EVE players.

I still can`t get it.. whats the problem if I pay with dollars ? no one can change mind that 14$ = 14EU all these currency bul****z are meaningless as long as I`m paying more than before.. cause in fact I`m paying more. while some are paying less. This change hits me in the wallet. and there is no way that I`ll be happy with that.

Basically it's a sales tax that is placed on all goods. As an example, the Swedish VAT is 25% on most goods, so if I buy something for 125 SEK, then 25 SEK would be VAT.

Where you live has nothing to do with it. You can still go for the cheapest option by using GTC. When the Dollar is strong, buy buy from European websites and when it's weak, buy from USA web sites.
Or even go for the cheapest option of all and buy GTC using In-game isk.
Or does allowing you to buy in in-game isk mean CCP is being racist in favor of the race of Eve players?

Not true, I buy GTC's and pay in dollars. If you are in a european country that uses the Euro (I am not, I am in the UK so its still pounds sterling for me), then your business may be forced to charge in euro's.
To the OP: Your flogging a dead horse, it has been going on since the Euro was introduced, its not just CCP, and its not going away. There was a bit on the news when the Euro was introduced about companies using it as a chance to screw customers over, as ú1 (or any currency) did not come to Ç1, and its not like people were going to pop for a loaf of bread and check the exchange rate (during the grace period of the changeover).
