4. Respected members of MD forum are pretty unanimously agreeing that price will drop.
Just LOL @ that.
It's pretty irrelevant what "respected members" agree on when reality disagrees with them.
I still saved the link to the post that says PLEX will be 317 mil +/- 5 mil in February because that's their "true value". I can't wait to dig that up in February and show at the very least one "respected member" just how wrong he was and that his expert advice is basically the same as asking the clerk at the grocery store checkout isle what happens to PLEX prices, whether the clerk actually plays EVE or not doesn't matter.
"Respected members" have spent far too much time forum warrioring instead of actually playing the game to realize how far they are removed from the reality of what drives PLEX prices and just how much essentially useless ISK there's out there with nothing but PLEX to spend it on. |

I note the "F9X" in your corp, and it makes me think of that guy who claimed he had trillions of isk. It makes me chuckle a little bit.
Also, don't forget the one and only CNR BPO!

The part in the dev blog about becoming a dinasaur sorta got me thinking that there was some small chance they would move away from as expensive a monthly subscription price.
You clearly haven't been following CCPs take on the value of EVE. They consider it a "premium" MMO so if anything they will raise the price (unlikely) rather than lower it.
PLEX will be the most secure 100% passive growth investment for eternity to come. All the vanity additions that will come to EVE will be paid for by PLEX and lots of companies on Facebook et.al. made literally millions of RL $ by selling vanity products to users.
PLEX will sell for 500M within a year, no doubt about that.

Meanwhile - I agree with Diomedes. I think Eve will, like the rest of the major MMOs, move towards "free to play" model. The economics of "free to play" are far too compelling to stick with the old monthly sub model, which fails to capture players willing to pay less than $15/month at all.
Let's think about this, F2P works based on the fact that there are a great many players who are willing to pay far more than the $15/mo which in turn subsidizes the play of those who pay little or nothing at all. In the end F2P still needs to be profitable.
In effect we already have the benefit of F2P give the publisher in that those who are willing to pay more than $15/mo can do so by buying PLEX for RL cash and converting it to ISK. The publisher furthermore can rely on a steady and predictable income stream from subscriptions. Why exactly would they want to give up the bird in the hand for two in the bush?
After 7 years on the market EVE remains a niche MMO, F2P wouldn't change that the slightest.

PLEX appears to be on the way down atm. Quite fast too.
It's all the college kids who are done with school and home for xmas needing some quick ISK for pew pew. Can't wait to buy back into PLEX and sell it in just a few short days for a handsome profit.
