Yeah they are limiting some of the items in game. As there has been a HUGE influx of accounts since the skill injectors, just check out eveoffline for the new account spikes which amount to about 15-20K accounts all told, which are all injector farming accounts and are all plexed.
Basically CCP is excluding all those style accounts in this offer to limit the rewards which in turn will screw anyone else that plexs their acounts.
Everyone that has ever subbed gets the Gnosis skin, so these will be the most prevalent items from the deal, anyone that subs one month at the time of expansion will get the last free ship, the armor set and googles and the gnosis skin, anyone that pays for 3 months will get all of it by my account of the deal.
From the way I have gathered it is that CCPs accounting policy is different for recurring subs than for plexs. AFAIK they state the recurring subs as income directly while the plexs income is a bit different as it can be claimed WHEN it is sold OR WHEN it is redeemed for game time. Which allows for a lot of account shenanigans if one wishes based on what is the best accounting policy. Delaying, or defering, income is a common practice for companies.
It also likely means CCP wants to bolster its income statements a bit with increased "income", perhaps for a bad quarterly or other such issues. But that is pure speculation on my part there. Ive just seen it on a lot of prospectus' in my days. You would be surpised at all the loopholes in accounting for companies for quarterly or year ends.
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.
Had to end sometime.

Generally yes this is the case. It can be counted at anytime up to then as well if the company chooses too. Its basically a deferred income. Which is why I salute CCP on PLEX as all the PLEX that is horded when the servers finally crash will never have to be technically officially declared and can be wiped off the books, I know Iceland has some different rules though, and even if they wish to declare it they can against severance packages and other shut down expenses and likely not have to pay any income tax on it. Even though you normally would at some point.
@Lucas Kell... I hope youre right/Im wrong too. I just wont get my hopes up at this time. Mostly because the deal is listed specifically on the PAID sub page.
