I've seen quite a few posts regarding this F2P nonsense. The best avenue to take for the company 'imo', is to charge for an expansion(s). With 4 expansions each year with a set price at 19.99$ or 1 expansion with 3 content updates during the year 
A company that comes to mind that is extremely successful with this is Guild Wars 2 (which is a pretty bad ass game) which doesn't charge a cent to play each month. They do however have a **** load of micro-transactions from their market place but those items are not game changing but rather clothing and other cool paraphernalia .
To me Eve is setup for success using this business model.

Yea, when majority of the player base is playing for free. But then you have new players with a high turnover ratio paying the bills.
To me this would give CCP greater revenue while providing larger content to its players. More content is a win win for everyone.

Not optional, don't purchase the expansion, can't log in.

You didn't say "decent percentage" in your OP now did you? You said a majority, which means more than 50%.

lol just wow He is right, a "decent percentage" could easily be 25% or less. Either way, what is your point? Do you feel like the game is somehow hurt buy people who play for free? CCP makes money from those PLEX, so they are not really playing for free, they are playing because they traded with another person who is paying double.
lol you seriously believe every plex on the market was purchased by someone? I could be wrong and if so I stand corrected.

This is an example of someone who understands how both language and PLEX work.
Anyways, this topic was about how ccp could bring in more revenue. Glad to know Plex is the backbone of the game. |

But then you have new players with a high turnover ratio paying the bills. To me this would give CCP greater revenue while providing larger content to its players. More content is a win win for everyone. Let me ask you this question, if EVE runs on a single shard then what happens to those who don't keep pace with the latest updates? Essentially if the infrastructure stayed as it is then you're locking out players who aren't keeping pace on patches because they can't or won't follow the WoW upgrade model. I already put in my $15/month plus more in plex so to me this idea won't fly.
What is up with you and the wow references.

What lose much of EVE's player base? Not to mention one of its biggest assets. The biggest reason I don't play WOW or any of its clones is because of the paid expansions. I am not paying a company 15-20 per month then have to pay for DLC or expansions. It is people like you that stupid enough to fall for that **** that gaming studios nickel and dime us to death now. Pay $60 for a half assed game then spend $60-100 more on the DLC that completes the product. If gaming companies pulled this **** in 80s gaming wouldn't have survived that decade.
I totally agree that some of the nickle and dimming that goes on in the gaming industry today is complete bulls^&T. I was a huge fan of Modern Warfare but what pulled me away was the map packs that came out every few months. I think now they even sell different skins for weapons lol
Bf3 and bf4 for me |

If it comes down to paid expansions vs subscriotion it has to be one or the other NOT both.
You do realise Eve customer base is fragile due to the multi account issue, go back and read Incarna threadnaught
Agree.

Pre-nerf titans sounds good too. I'll buy those accounts up to Dominion as well.
And to make money I'll leave a bunch of button-orbiting alts in Inferno.
Shoot, I'd stop at the first one.

ahhh yes, I must have forgotten they are injected into the game only by players. I would hate for these to run out. What then?

Because that is the concept behind paid expansions. lol

You of course some how managed to miss the comment at 0:49(ish) "someone still has to buy that plex" but of course since it doesn't support your argument it can be safely ignored.
I sincerely believe every plex is purchased by players and injected into the game |
