Office rents in some very selected systems, might be on the way up, what we are seeing though, is people with less 'extra' offices. Once upon a time it was common for people to have dozens of offices, because, hell why not, the very nature of the system means that the people that need the most get them.
There was a system I saw the other day, with about 8 or so stations in it.
There was a corp with an office in every single station.
Anyway, I'm not seeing that there's a problem. Plenty of stations in every empire in highsec with offices for 10k, moons too.
Unless maybe if you simply must have an office in whatever region Jita happens to be in.

Maybe people should have offices in less populated space? The more population Eve has, the more it will eventually push into unpopulated space. It's not that Eve is overpopulated and that there are no offices, it's just that the population isn't distributed evenly enough.
No new offices needed.
My corp office in Hiliban (one jump from Tash-Murkon, which is two jumps to Amarr) is 10k a month.
I travel to distant Khanid region, far from any trade hubs and sparsely populated, and rents are 125 to 245 million Isk per month. There are not a whole lot of stations, which probably accounts for the obscene rents, but the assumption that sparsely populated space = low rents is rubbish.
You want people to disperse? Then get some frakkin' stations out there with reasonable rents.
The greater the Eve population, the more they will congregate in populated areas where small corps can rent an office cheap. Period.

I'm confused Akita T.
Are you saying this is a good or bad thing or neither?
Personally I think it's awesome that a real life problem, too many people in one area, has a real effect on eve.
In wow? Just join another server. In eve? Sh*& I can't find an office! The moons are all taken! And 0.0 is dangerous!
Love it.
Stop, hammer time. |

This overcrowding will in time force more and more people away from hi sec and into low sec and 0.0. If anyhting CCP need to reduce the number of offices and stations in high sec empire to speedup this process.
lol no it wont...it hasnt yet, and it wont. In order for people to be "spilled over" into 0.0 it'll take a PCU count of the hundreds of thousands. Thats YEARS off.

With more people joining every day, and more corporations springing to life, with more people getting standings and skills up so they can anchor highsec research POSes or getting offices for other purposes, office rents have been slowly but steadily increasing on average.
There is no problem here. Eventually office rents will be high enough that the office-spamming corporations will rationalise, thus freeing up office space. Perhaps people will even spread out and populate empty regions of space.
As to other posts - no, limited office space will not push people to lowsec. The folks who live in hisec due to risk adversity will need to be pulled to lowsec by something worth losing ships for.

A little bit of both.
It's good that office prices can reach insane levels, putting some additional pressure on people's decisions to stay somewhere or move away.
But it's bad that in spite of high prices, you can wait several months just so ONE office becomes available, and if you're not there to snatch it exactly when it becomes available, you may have to wait another couple of months to do so.
It would make a lot more sense if the office space would be unbounded, with only the price determining whether you will be a customer or not - in other words, link number of offices with office price, with a bottom value for available offices, but no top value. Price would be determined based on filled offices and bottom office count instead of actual office count.
