3 games, 1 character. i understand that. but, currently, you need plex or a sub to play the eve character. dust is free. ill assume valkrie is free 2 play as well. i am currently subbed to eve. so if i start playing all 3 games, but then decide to unsub from eve for reasons, would i still be able to play the other 2 games with the same character, or will all 3 games require an active subscription? 3 plex for 1 character per account? would a dev be able to answer this question or is it still too early? |

Incorrect. Legion will be F2P. The method of financing Legion hasnt been discussed yet. |

It sure will be interesting to see how this will be handled. As all we can do is speculation atm then I would like to get my 2c in in that regard as well :)
Ideally, what I would like to see is one "master account" per person across all CCP games. What you can then do is to use that to access all CCP content aspects. How this would work out.
Let's say I have atm 6 EVE accounts. I roll them all into one master account ending up with 18 character slots and up to 6 simultaneous characters logged in from that "master account". In few months I let three subs to expire. That will cut down the number of simultaneously logged eve chars down to 3 (if the total accessible number of chars remains at 18 or drops down to 9 is not that important, whatever works out). Then I will use this character, called "Carniflex" in Legion and do few rounds of Valkyrie with him (CCP aim is after all unified identity across all games they have), some time later I for some reason drop all EVE subs - at that time I can no longer log in into EVE at all, however, as Legion is "free to play" (presumably) then I can play the Legion with "Carniflex" still - just the EVE part of the experience is grayed out and if I want to go take a round in my golden pod then I would need to renew subscription for that.
I can sort of see it working out for them reasonably well. Perhaps even them offering some minor perks for people with active running subscription (or not). Here, sanity... niiiice sanity, come to daddy... okay, that's a good sanity... *THWONK!* GOT the bastard. |

By introducing Legion CCP has created a mess. They havent figured out how they are going to transfer the existing Dust characters to Legion or if they will at all.
Secondly Valkyrie is on the PS4. Which means you will have people like me spanning all 3 games. Ideally I should be able to take my Eve account and do what I please with Dust/Legion and Valkyrie. I dont think its gonna happene that way though.
As a technomanager IRL I can say that CCP Z ****** up. He has no frigging clue about the practicality and the ROI of what he is propossing. He prolly needs to sit down with the TLs and have a pow wow before running his mouth. |

Legion and Valkyrie will both be F2P while Eve will stay P2P. CCP Rouge has stated that character transfers will happen but I'm still skeptical about that since CCP words= False hope to the maximum.

Valk is on the pc and the ps4. How they will handle that server wise is anyone guess at this point.
CCP Z has an idea, as I said on the legion forums, i'm going to wait and see what he has up his sleeve, as what he is saying could translate differently when played. As long as they give plenty of time to change the issues if any arise, then i'm willing to wait.
They will allow you to access dust char in legion, this should not be too hard as the dust server is TQ.
I would prefer CCP's unified theory to be 'pay x/month get access to all games" "pay y/month get access to two" "pay v/month get access to one" My guess is legion will prolly be F2P, as its an FPS. Valk will have a cost to buy it and later a fee based on it. I think it will come 'free' with the rift/Morpheus. |
