+1 for WiS.
I certainly want to see more players in eve, just not necessarily flying space ships.
CCP has been working on this whole internet space ship thing for ten years, and i think it's about as mature as it'll get. It seems that it's the kind of game that will only ever draw as many subscribers as it has right now. Any WOW-killing 'New Game Experience' patch to the existing space game would destroy the existing player base. Why? Because the existing player base (you and me) don't want to play WOW.
So ... hands of the space ships!

I think pay to pay is certainly a better model. However, what do you think the feasibility of a 'Free-to-play/pay-to-fly' idea .. where the free players are stuck in their boots, while someone who shells out for a plex gets a pod.
Wow is free to play for the first few .... 20 levels (?) .... right, can someone verify that? |

Read this a couple times and i cannot understand what you are trying to say, sorry.
No worries ... I was wondering out loud what eve would be like if it was free to play, but only people who by a plex would be able to fly a space ship/use their pod skills.
There would have to be a huge amount of non-space content created;

2. Walking inside ships
3. Walking on planet's surface
4. Walking on moon's surface
5. Walking on asteroids surface
6. Spacewalk
7. PI with ability to build own cities and holding actual districts on the map.
8. Ships crew
9. No more side projects just focus on eve online pc game.
10. Ability to build own private pos anywhere you like in space as long as its not in LS/HS
11. Profit.... A free player should NOT have access to the market, because it's too easy to make a ton of money just making trades. Maybe they could have access to a local Noble exchange (so we can get some payback from that under used code).
PLUS ... us pod pilots would have a whole new pool of players to grief and exploit!
