I appreciate the fact CCP has given away new content going many years, now. But there does seem to be a problem satisfying the (many) demands of (many) different game segments. I for one would pay forty bucks for an expansion here, just as I have in other games, on the understanding this gives a developer resources to, well, expand.

You could even take a page from the game's marketing hype, and let cold hard cash decide what to build. Offer pre-orders:

$40 buys you access to dedicated large-fleet combat space with servers switches and packet sniffers galore.

$40 buys you access to dedicated small-fleet combat space where nothing bigger than a cruiser gets in and fleets are of limited size.

$40 buys you access to dedicated mission space where CONCORD has scrambled target locks on non pirate faction ships and disabled smart bombs.

$40 buys you access to dedicated exploration space where the scans are particularly difficult but you are the only one there.

Build what generates the biggest pool of money.

Normally I like to at least try and give a full bodied answer, but all I can say is no, hell no, and **** no. The day CCP shard EVE in this way is the day it curls up, kisses its own backside and dies.

So you say. Of course, if the pre-orders demonstrated demand sufficient to warrant the investment, cold hard real world markets would be saying otherwise.

Any dedicated EVE player understands cold hard market reality, yes?

$39.99 for an expansion sounds good to me if they actually use the money/resources toward this game and not the other's in production (dust and some vampire thing).

You're one of those people that think you can solve problems by just throwing money at it. More money than sense.

Eve is already the most expensive MMO that I know of, especially if you live in Europe. If they were to start charging for expansions then they should lower the cost of the sub.

There are several things that would instantly ruin Eve and it would eventually die off in months, paid expansion is on the top of the list.
