Jack Target	Posted - 2007.03.19 16:40:00 - [1] I would increase my Eve subscription time from 3-months to 1-year if CCP told of their longer-term plans beyond space station ambulation. If CCP put planet ambulation (and mining?) on the public development plan, would you increase your subscription time as a vote of confidence?
RaTTuS BIG Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.03.19 16:43:00 - [2] They'll only put it there when It's ready I'm already on 12Mth payments ... I do this for my plans ... -- BIG Lottery, BIG Deal \| RaTTuS @ Skills Showroom
Saint Lazarus	Posted - 2007.03.19 16:43:00 - [3] I'd pay a years subscriction if I could just afford it =/ Its cheaper and easier than month by month thats all I need to know. :insert cool signature here:
Rod Serling	Posted - 2007.03.19 17:27:00 - [4] I wish they let you buy a lifetime subscription like Lord of the Rings Online offers for $200

VanNostrum	Posted - 2007.03.19 17:56:00 - [6] Originally by: Rod Serling I wish they let you buy a lifetime subscription like Lord of the Rings Online offers for $200 LOTR's own lifespan is only 6 months anyway
Brutor Shaun Minmatar Freelancers UK Alliance	Posted - 2007.03.19 18:18:00 - [7] Only if they gave me as good a rate as I get by buying GTC from shatteredcrystal. 3 months@ $40 = ú20GBP, compared to ú26 GBP through subscription. "Facts are stupid things." - Ronald Reagan My skills
Octobers Opal	Posted - 2007.03.19 18:24:00 - [8] Edited by: Octobers Opal on 19/03/2007 18:20:25 Originally by: Brutor Shaun Only if they gave me as good a rate as I get by buying GTC from shatteredcrystal. 3 months@ $40 = ú20GBP, compared to ú26 GBP through subscription. Its probably the transaction costs that makes the uk more expensive. I dont beleive CCP make more money through their subscription than GTC's ... but thanks for the name of the site I may start using it
Jack Target	Posted - 2007.03.19 19:23:00 - [9] I'll probably buy yearly subscriptions anyway, but it was worth a try!

Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2007.03.19 19:45:00 - [11] Originally by: Jack Target I would increase my Eve subscription time from 3-months to 1-year if CCP told of their longer-term plans beyond space station ambulation. If CCP put planet ambulation (and mining?) on the public development plan, would you increase your subscription time as a vote of confidence? I play Eve for what it is now, not what it will be, I'd keep playing if they never changed it again. If all you are looking forward to is future content I suggest you quit and come back in a few months. - If you go into your options menu, there's a difficulty slider. Put that all the way over to the easiest setting and you'll be fine.

If all you are looking forward to is future content I suggest you quit and come back in a few months. I like the game as it is, but CCP have no choice - they must keep evolving to stay 'alive'. But this is exactly what they do. For example, they are updating the graphics, and introducing ambulation. You are very wrong - you would not keep playing Eve if it never changed because there are games being developed at this very moment that would take the market from Eve it never changed. Maybe as a die-hard fan you would stay, but it's quite possible the game would not make money, so the server would get switched off. However, I think CCP and it's leadership are superb - Eve Online does not yet have a serious competitor and has a loyal fan base (I'm one of them!).

But this is exactly what they do. This is a common misconception. This is only required to stay the market leader. And that is only because of the ADD afflicted masses running around screaming 'OMG whats new this month/week/day/hour' on the major gaming websites. In fact, evolving games is what eventually kills them, attempting to continually attract new people by altering what the game is, alienating the original player base, and failing to attract new customers by entering into areas done better by newer games. Originally by: Jack Target For example, they are updating the graphics, and introducing ambulation. It's always a good idea to upgrade graphics when possible, in fairness, but beyond that... Originally by: Jack Target You are very wrong - you would not keep playing Eve if it never changed because there are games being developed at this very moment that would take the market from Eve it never changed. There are no games in development, on the market, or even being planned that I know of which can touch Eve. Even if one was developed, I'd stick with Eve because it's the one I've been playing all along. Change is not how you compete with other games anyway. If another game comes along that attracts Eve players and starts taking Eve's customers, changing Eve into something else would only further alienate the playerbase. While I fully support the addition of new features to Eve, the thing which will keep it alive is implementing the core features the best way possible, not continually adding new fringe features. - If you go into your options menu, there's a difficulty slider.

Maybe you are right, but Eve COULD have some serious competition with Infinity. This is a video of the planet atmosphere graphics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCQgSBne0jg Here is the website: http://www.fl-tw.com/Infinity/ It looks similar to Eve!
