EVE Subscription is cheap
Thats a fact...people probally now think, adoro is crazy. But no, ok im crazy but thats gotta do with other factors. The reason I say EVE Subscription is cheap because if you look at a average student. Alot of students go out 4 times a month, and the average cash they spend on one evening is between Ç 25 and Ç 35 a night. Now when you start playing EVE you not go out 4 times a month but only 2 times, the other 2 nights which are most likely saturday nights you play EVE. The game is to addicted to not playing it on these nights.
So a bit of maths, a student normally spends Ç 120 a month on the nightlife. Now he skips 2 nights to play EVE. So he saves Ç 60, minus the Ç 15 you pay for EVE you make Ç 45 a month by playing EVE.

Not all eve players are students, most likely the majority aren't students, and you don't make money if you already have it.

Online multiplayer games are a BARGAIN considering the amount of entertainment that can be had playing them, always makes me laugh when people complain about the monthly subs. Many people will argue that sex is more entertaining and is free, well lets face it its not free, you have to keep your woman happy with chocolates, flowers or shopping trips to buy clothes, and thats expensive

Earlier I saw a guy saying in local:
"Hmm, looks like I actually have to buy the game to be able to fly a battlecruiser."
WHAT WAS HE THINKING!? ---------

Hmmm I remember a time when someone was Eve-bashing here. Claimed that the price wasn't worth it, as he could put $15 in his gas tank and have more fun. So I listed my monthly expendatures:
Eve: 15/month (actually less, I pay 3/mo at a time)
VS:
No Eve...
Buying Drinks (i'm 20, so illeagle in US): 50$/mo Gas for going out: 80$/Mo Food for going out: 100$/mo ETC ETc...
I really don't wanna repeat it all, but EVe saves me a lot of money, a ton more than it costs me!

And for the truly poor, you can go ratting or mining to scare up iskies for gamecards, making your eve experience completely free..... --------- "English doesn't borrow from other languages.

this isn't that unique or earthshaking, but its a good thing to remember.
it really is funny when people whine about MMO's subscription fees.
and while it may for some just be an ADDITIONAL cost, the time spent on it that might otherwise be spent on other things, probably STILL pays for itself.
unless you play like 5 hours a month or something

That's the thing, I don't even mine anymore...
I basically have 4 characters that I like to watch train up, and I log on to chat once in a while. Might get in an op here and there...
It's pitiful...
Very hard to cancel the subs because of lost skill training, yet I don't ******* utilize the skills I have!!!

The question is: Would you the buy beer if you didn't play eve?
I probably wouldn't.. Rocky Spaceman makes me drink beer, becuase it makes me sad when he's drunk and I am not.

Eve isn't cheap.
It's ridiculously, stupidly, astonishingly cheap!
I play quite a bit, and I'm not the only one. My weekly average is at least 15 hours (I'd probably scare myself if I tracked actual hours played), so that's $1 an hour for great entertainment - if I only play 1 week a month! If I play 60 hours in a month, that's a quarter an hour for entertainment. Now compare that to going to a movie - maybe $4.50 an hour. Or how about going to the bar? Maybe $8-10 an hour or more. Or taking your significant other out to a nice dinner? Try $50 an hour or more. And the best part is, if you pay for 3 months at a time, it's even cheaper! _______________________________________________

I don't spend money on "nightlife". I don't go out and I don't drink alcohol. So yeah, two eve accounts for me.

In a way Im jealous. My wallet drop kicked me the other day. At first I was hesitant to get back into EvE, then someone pointed out. "Thats how much money I spend in half a night per weekend." Made me realize it actually is cheap. --- Player Flown Fighters? Robot Arm |

Playing Eve lead to me canceling Netflix, so I'm about $5/month up. Think of it this way: $15/month is about .50 a day. For that .50 a day it is easy to play for over 4 hours. Compare that to the 5 min. that .50 would let you play Space Invaders or Pac-Man (or whatever...I'm old).
I don't think Eve is a good replacement for a night life though. That Titan ain't gonna get you any nookie.

I'm pretty much like you too...
I dumped my GF 3 months ago, and it is amazing to find out hom much she actually cost...
I might be getting a new GF soon though.
It's tough to decide between a night out with a girl or EVE... EVE is definitely a lot cheaper...

*shrug*, I've just never gone out or drunk alcohol. I hate the entire idea of it. That's just my personal stance, I'm sure some of the things I like to do in my spare time would be abhored by a person or two. I was on the recieving end of the dump about a year ago.. Eve's one comfort for a lonely guy, right?
