You should have know this, as extended downtime was announced before.
And probably yes.

Although I appreciate the gift, I hope that does not mean you can pay for skill points in the future :(

I picked up on this idea too. It was the first thing I thought of actually. I suppose we'll have to wait and see what is said about this new system in development...
Edited to add: I should note my agreement: that paying for SP is not something I think is a good idea.

Holy Balls of Chribba!
This does in fact set the stage for a system which allows skillpoint gains past the current maximum rate.

I wonder if players will be able to buy skill points in the future, or transfer skill points between two or more characters... Like making your noob alt with the name and face you like, and then buy a skilled character from the bazaar and suck him dry of skillpoints for transfer.

if this does mean that you can buy/trade/acquire skill points in any other way than training, that CCP have just commited in-game suicide.
This would kill the game imo.

So far the best thing I can think of that goes along with such a statement is this.
They are removing learning skills and reimbursing everyone the SP they trained into them, plus adjusting attributes so that they are not effected by said change.

It is probably just a booster that gives a 100% bonus to training for 24 hours.
Likely it will be distributed the same way the shuttles were for Christmas.
I doubt this means anything significant will change.

If you read CCPs announcement, they say this feature has been "hot dropped" into the dev plans. Although some part of this addition *could* be used to sell skillpoint in the future, I believe CCPs post is quite clear that they are adding the code in response to the extended downtime out of the goodness of their hearts.

Maybe we'll be able to buy "lost" skill points (such as those from podding or missed training) through NPC services with ISK.
You'd still be limited to your maximum potential SP, and ISK sinks are good.
Oooh, guessing is fun.
But for the record, I only changed my sig because I was annoying myself with the last one.

Will the same amount of SP added to accounts that lost their training due to unexpected downtime and to account that had a looong skill in queue and have those not lost anything?

I speculate that you will train generic skill points that get collected into a pool, with which you can then spend on any skill you desire. Rather than training the skills themselves. ;o Maybe it'll be defined as skill training for a category of skills like all the stuff in Science, etc. Then you use that 'Science' pool of SP to spend on Cybernetics or something.
Just some totally random thoughts.

Ok, I agree that this would be perhaps the best case scenario here. Fingers crossed it is not as we are wildly speculating some way to buy SP.

You're an optimist i see.

Thank you CCP :)
And meh well paying for some extra SP, why not (waiting 30 days for <insert a faction> battlecruiser V is annoying), but in order to keep the balance in the game, (if such a functionality is added), please cap it at a certain amount of SP / month.
I don't want to see rich players with 150.000.000 SP chars after 2 weeks of play time...

The post is also quite clear that they already had something in the pipeline that allows them to distribute blocks of skillpoints. That's why people are worried.

So, what you're saying is, CCP is stealing the Idea from an MMO which is stealing most of its Ideas from CCP. Doubt it.

Not that I particularly care one way or the other, selling SP sounds sketchy, but they also endorse buying and selling characters so... Who cares?
