PLEX is 15 dollars, the magazine is 15 dollars. I can only see win coming from this.
Technical challenges aside, i would love to be able to do this soon (TM). Anyone else thinks this is a good idea?
/signed if you agree!

Great idea. I would take it if they made this an option. I just wish I did not have to wait a month or so to get it in the States.

+1. It would be good for Plex prices.

Good idea and I definitely would buy plexs off the market to purchase a magazine.
Anything that allows me to get something of physical real world value from ISK/Plex would be a bonus and a sure way of getting me buying Plexs in game.

Possibly because MMM Publishing is not CCP.
Just as likely you'd be able to buy milk or eggs with PLEX.

This is an "ok" idea...you stopped short of making it an "awesome" idea...just sell EVERYTHING in the CCP store on the NEX store for Aurum and PLEX. NO BOOBIES LEFT BEHIND! |

That would require organisation in which neither has any.

If they would sell this and all the EVE Store stuff for PLEX, they would make enuff real money to actually solve their funding problems!

How you will cover the delivery cost to specific country? With another PLEX, with 1.5 PLEX? CCP introduced aurum and imo this will work better.

It would be cool but ultimately cost CCP money, many people already get the game for free. now you want a free magazine.
And then wonder why the expansion has no content...

Edited by: dexington on 25/07/2011 13:16:42 It really would be awesome to be able to buy EON, or other stuff from the eve store, using plex or the NeX store. I just think it's a pretty big jump from selling virtual items to selling non-virtual items using virtual currency, unless the non-virtual items was more expensive when payed for with virtual currency i think CCP would be loosing money on this business model.
Would there be any financial regulations or laws preventing a business model based on virtual currency used to buy non-virtual items, with no real money changing hands it sounds to me like there may be a possibility of avoiding taxation. |

You do realize that ISK is a virtual currency, right? You can't go the the local grocery and pay them with ISK for the vegetables. |

Dollars on your credit card are virtual too and not funded with US gold. But you still can buy your food with this virtual corrency tho.
When you paying for your gametime with PLEX this means that someone have bought gametime for you with "real" currency. For example, Amazon have "Gift" option when someone can buy presents to other people and it doesn't matters who have paid for this. |

I don't know dollars was a virtual currency. A credit card is not currency, it's a payment system, i don't think you can compare it to isk. |

This has been suggested a number of times. It would be great but EON isn't produced by CCP, it's a publisher that licences the rights to it. So CCP can't sell it for PLEX, because it's not theirs to sell. |

But for CCP, any PLEX is as good as real money, they could work this out, and I guess with really little effort.

Outstanding PLEX are a liability to CCP -- taking some of them out the market by selling EON would be a good move IMO.

The shouldn't. But then when I buy a PLEX and redeem it CCP isn't paying for it. Somebody else is paying for it.
I would gladly pay 6000 AURUM for an issue. I would go as far as 2 plex. . Adapt and overcome or become a monkey on an evolution poster.

Hence the +1 if we could. When your partner asks whatÆs for dinner, you say æhow long do I have?Æ 1 hour gets you a plate of sprouts. 5 hours gets you steak. I present you the future for PLEX
Originally by: Cipher Jones I would go as far as 2 plex.
Minimum. First recoups ÇÇP purchase. Second would have to cover carriage + overheads. Make it 3 and looks a far more viable idea, but further slashing of the in-game PLEX pool is bad
