XSarah	Posted - 2011.06.29 05:59:00 - [1] with just under 6000 accounts unsubbed hope the 52 Monacles was worth it
Vice Admiral Spreadsheet Caldari	Posted - 2011.06.29 06:02:00 - [2] We all know that 98% of them either: -Don't know the difference between a subscribed account and character -Will resubscribe in about 3 days -Never unsubscribed in the first place

Herring Caldari Pimpology	Posted - 2011.06.29 06:46:00 - [4] Not a fan of anything thats going on right now but those people would actually have to follow through with their threats...not saying they won't, but you don't know for certain that they will, either.

Most will be back once the nerd rage over fictional events evaporates.
Kaptain Kruncher	Posted - 2011.06.29 07:06:00 - [6] Originally by: XSarah with just under 6000 accounts unsubbed hope the 52 Monacles was worth it One can only hope. Just think how nice it would be if 6000 crybabies quit at once! Eve would be a better place- and the competition for the stuffz would lessen. BTW- I read that thread- Most people said " I would cancel my subs right now- but I still have some game time left" lulz.
Viking Sven	Posted - 2011.06.29 07:11:00 - [7] Originally by: Vice Admiral Spreadsheet We all know that 98% of them... Wow... must have done quite a mathematical tally and a fair bit of time travel to arrive at that number. That's not to say I disagree that many people are full of ****, but I honestly believe that there will be an unusually high unsub rate because of this patch, and many more that did unsub didn't post on the forum as well. Sure, if CCP pulls their head out of their ass I might resub my accounts. But I don't plan on resubbing until they do.
Valei Khurelem	Posted - 2011.06.29 07:29:00 - [8] Did you know that 95.5% statistics are made up on the spot without proper research or facts behind them? It's true! I just did it! :D
Terminal Insanity Minmatar Convex Enterprises	Posted - 2011.06.29 07:31:00 - [9] Originally by: Viking Sven Wow... must have done quite a mathematical tally and a fair bit of time travel to arrive at that number. I'd say its about as valid as marking everyone who claimed they unsubbed, as an unsub.
Patient 2428190 DEGRREE'Fo'FREE Internet Business School	Posted - 2011.06.29 07:32:00 - [10] Stockholm Syndrome. Majority of those accounts will be back. ...Then when you stopped to think about it. All you really said was Lalala.
Karii Ildarian Caldari Perkone	Posted - 2011.06.29 07:35:00 - [11] I wonder how many new accounts CCP has sold since Incarna's release?
Mr Epeen It's All About Me	Posted - 2011.06.29 07:40:00 - [12] Edited by: Mr Epeen on 29/06/2011 07:41:09 Originally by: Karii Ildarian I wonder how many new accounts CCP has sold since Incarna's release? I'd say quite a few. Consider that EVE is splashed all over the web. A lot of people that wouldn't even have heard about it are at least checking it out. A ton of new faces in the help channels. Some will stay and sub. Some won't. But they're not hurting for starts. That's for sure. Mr Epeen

Mr Epeen I reactivated my account after two years, mostly because of the expansion and because I missed the laughs. So far, I have been pleased with both...
ScreenWipe Caldari State War Academy	Posted - 2011.06.29 08:20:00 - [14] Originally by: XSarah with just under 6000 accounts unsubbed hope the 52 Monacles was worth it 10k accounts were banned due to botting and RMT and new eden was better for it, so i imagine it will be even better when a further 6k rage nerds un-sub. Good riddance
Angeliq Minmatar Silent Overwatch S I L E N T.	Posted - 2011.06.29 08:24:00 - [15] They don't care about 1 mil $ per year.
Butter Dog Gallente The Littlest Hobos En Garde	Posted - 2011.06.29 08:27:00 - [16] For every cancelled account I shall purchase 1 monocle per month. This will lead to a 300% increase in revenue for CCP. As a truly elite player I am able to do this, whilst laughing at your ineffectual 'revolt'. ---------- ~bitter dog~ etc
DR Blues	Posted - 2011.06.29 08:44:00 - [17] If you like this game :PLAY If you dont like it: LEAVE Not content: COMPLAIN CCP business: NON OF YOUR BUSINESS Why do people think they can trow with numbers of ccp? Get a life m8
Smoking Blunts	Posted - 2011.06.29 08:48:00 - [18] Edited by: Smoking Blunts on 29/06/2011 08:49:11 must ahve been a good few accounts that did actually cancell. i mean how many do you think would need to cancell before you fly the CSM on an emergency meeting to iceland?
Blane Xero Amarr The Firestorm Cartel	Posted - 2011.06.29 08:52:00 - [19] Originally by: Vice Admiral Spreadsheet We all know that 98% of them either: -Don't know the difference between a subscribed account and character -Will resubscribe in about 3 days -Never unsubscribed in the first place 100% of you seems to not get the fact that simply being unsubbed does not make your already paid-for game time disappear. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

Most will be back once the nerd rage over fictional events evaporates. How sad if that's true. It would mean CCP could crap on their customers as much as they like and still get away with it. But I'm betting those with self respect, will not resub if non-vanity items are introduced through the MT shop.
Bomberlocks Minmatar CTRL-Q	Posted - 2011.06.29 09:01:00 - [21] Originally by: XSarah with just under 6000 accounts unsubbed hope the 52 Monacles was worth it The real number of cancelled accounts will probably be much higher than that if last year's summer of rage after the 18 months fiasco is anything to go by. They lost about 30k subscribers in about two months then. This current sh!tstorm is bigger than that by an order of magnitude. Last year there was no protest thread keeping tally of announced cancellations. There were only the two big threadnaughts of about 60 and 80 pages respectively, where, all in all about 100 people announced their cancellations. So if that is anything to go by, and keeping in mind that this probably won't scale linearly, they will have lost over 80k subscribers in the next two months. If they then fix things, promise to be good little boys and not rip us off etc, they then still have the problem that beyond a certain point, accounts cancelling tend to take on a life of their own. --------------------- Unsubbed.
General Paul Atomic Heroes The G0dfathers	Posted - 2011.06.29 09:19:00 - [22] Anyone also noticed that every **** and his dog has a monocle nowadays? It is the symbol of the resistance to the whining, I would estimate the monocle ownership to be over 9000 at this point and rising.
xxxTRUSTxxx	Posted - 2011.06.29 09:28:00 - [23] anyone else sick of the alts posting ? grow a pair and post from your main.
Conrad Lionhart Gallente	Posted - 2011.06.29 09:30:00 - [24] They are assuming that only 52 monocles have been sold till now, and nothing else.
General Paul Atomic Heroes The G0dfathers	Posted - 2011.06.29 09:33:00 - [25] Which alts are your referring to ?

This will lead to a 300% increase in revenue for CCP. As a truly elite player I am able to do this, whilst laughing at your ineffectual 'revolt'. I wish I could muster the nerve to buy a monocle to protest against the protestors. I'm gonna consider it. Very sick of their attitude where they think they have the right to ruin the game for everyone else just because they are angry about some imaginary threat to the game.

Very sick of their attitude where they think they have the right to ruin the game for everyone else just because they are angry about some imaginary threat to the game. Everyone has the right to cancel their account. Whether they have the right to post about it is entirely up to CCP, but if CCP started forum banning people who posted in the account cancellation thread, those people would just go to the media or other forums and post about it there, where CCP has no say whatsoever. --------------------- Unsubbed.
Aodha Khan Minmatar Deviance Cartel Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2011.06.29 10:09:00 - [28] Originally by: Conrad Lionhart Very sick of their attitude where they think they have the right to ruin the game for everyone else just because they are angry about some imaginary threat to the game. The threats are real. I won't bother pointing them out if you can't be bothered doing your homework. Power is not something that is granted - it is something to be taken.

Good riddance Im not claiming that any side here has any real fact to present, but those 6k accounts will hurt them rather badly according to the financial report.
