OK, not to sound like a rich elitist snob, BUT the sub is only 15USD / month. It's not that much. Do you know what is a lot less than 15USD per month? I'll tell you. It's the number of players not willing to pay 15USD / month for full functionality that would be willing to pay 10USD / month for a beta clone that is limited, but not as limited as an alpha clone.
Seriously you ninnies - cutthisshitout. This idea doesn't even make sense in any practical way.

I am not a game developer or anything but ok, due to popular request I'll take a stab at it.
So...5 euro per month clone would give you (for example):
- Up to battleships including ALL skills for different fittings - You can fly ships from all races - Full trading - Full P.I. - Full scanning - Full science stuff - Full engineering stuff - Up to mining barge in industry including all fitting skills - etc....

Anyone who think the clone states are "easy" as they are now is completely fooling himself. In fact just the alpha clones is like 4 clones...cause they all have different skillsets. All too advanced already if you asked me.
Anyway...I am asking for only 1 more clone. That shouldn't add much to the complexity.

Let me put this in binary. Yes means you pay, no means HTFU or deal with it, no candy, no rainbows and no unicorns.
No means no and is not a maybe quantum state.

I would suggest a Beta-Clone for, lets say 5 ..Gé¼? per month, without quantity-discount, where you can get up to BattleCruiser (maybe the noctis aswell) and some more Tech, for example to be a littlebit more usefull in large wars, and get the battle-cruiser well-equipped.
and a Gamma-Clone for 10Gé¼, with the same rulse, but who can go up to battleships and miningbarges, but now of all races. so you can train across the entire skill-tree of all races to the same level.
For both clones the penaltys are removed for training skills, but the skills you can put in a line can't take more time than 3 days for the beta and 10 days for the Gamma. (some limitations should be there to make ppl wan't the omega in the end). Oh, and the abylity to log-in multiple "payed" chars should be possible even with the beta-clones, just saying. Play 4 chars with beta is stil more worth, than one with omega, as the omegas get quantity-discounts.
Both Clones are made to allow ppl who can't afford the full price (like me) to pay at least something per month.
just my 20 Cent to the idea. I really hope something like this will come up asa christmas-present ... |

Or i do it may way and make a clever suggestion while trying to ingore stupid comments. CCP made this discussion possible with their invention of the alpha-clone, so why not expanding the idea? CCP would benefit from it as well as the eve-community. Nothing bad about it. ;) |

Well as it is now you dont really have a game and no-one really cares about it anyway. I know...I tried to find players who would like to try EVE F2P mode....zero interest. Any players are better then 0 players and I am really not that bad...I recent that...
So...the only solution would be to flirt with the semi-hardcore/semi-returning players like me who are after the PvE and co-op part of EVE more.

Au countreur!
They ARE willing to pay or at least I am...but only about 1/3 of current monthly price.
And for me its not mainly about for EVE to "make money"...but to exist in any way,shape or form...

The launcher shows 23k characters online, that's more than enough people to interact with, and a lot more than 0.
You may want to revisit your choice then. EVE is not meant for all these casual facebook game morons out there. The only thing they will do to EVE is to contribute to the corrosion of EVE into something that is not EVE.

You didnt really read what I wrote.
Amount of characters is NOT equal to amount of players. Definately not in EVE at least. Most are multiboxing and then some of thoose that are left are semi-afk...making the game completely dead almost.
If you ever tried to recruit for a corporation the last couple of years you would also know something about the amount of "new blood" (that doesn't exist).
Any character that posts that he is looking for a corp is immedietly spammed by 10-30 suggestions for a corp to join....50% of theese also seem to be awoxers...further telling information about the state of the game...

According to official CCP numbers, there are not nearly as many multiboxers as you think there are.
That aside, I agree that things like the recruitment mechanics, among many things, need change. However, the point of EVE is to ruin someone elses day and having fun at it.

I'll bottom line this for you. Eve will truly die when no one pays for it. The current subscription is 15USD (or there abouts). Instead of finding ways to get more folks on the server for less (think of it as putting Eve closer to death) try to spend your time and effort figuring out how to make the game better so that more folks want to play it (and actually pay to keep it online). That's the real solution.
Alpha clones - introductory clone, but so limited you'll either join the paying crowd or move on to other entertainment. Omega clones - the actually backbone of eve (this is where folks pay to keep the lights on)
Veterans clones - I get to pay for free because I paid a sub sometime in the past.... FU - the sub is to play the game, it isn't to acquire skills and then phone it in at some point down the road.
The other bottom line. When you look at value for the dollar (or whatever your hard earned currency is called) - Eve is a pretty good deal. 15 USD gets you and entire month of epic space hero shenanigans. I can't even think of anything that I can do for a whole month for 15 USD as far as entertainment. Even a trip to the movies costs more and only lasts 2 hours. A full day of paintball is over 100 USD. If you really can't see the value in 15 USD per month - don't play, you'll just be a crankybitch the whole time you're playing and I don't want to deal with you (in game, on comms or in the forums).
That brings up another point - a question actually. Can alpha clones post on the forums? I hope not in all sections. Especially in this section. Features and ideas should be for paying customers ONLY. If an alpha has a great idea, put it in 'New Citizens Q & A'. If that idea is good enough one of the underpaid / overworked ISD humps can move it here. It seems reasonable that if you want your ideas to change the game to be heard - you should be paying to keep the game going. CCP can't regulate reddit, but it sure can keep non paying accounts from spamming up this section with better ideas on how to improve game play for non paying accounts. |

wasn't a clever suggestion at all and i guess you're failing to ignore what you see as stupid comments. CCP gave the alpha clone state as a stepping stone to a full sub, it's working as intended so no need for silly inbetween clone states as an upgrading alpha already benifits CCP.
nope, nothing bad about the eve community expanding at all, i don't see where you got the idea anyone in the community would believe for a second that new players would ever be a bad thing.
next there will be a call for a clone state beyond omega
train twice as fast as an omega with the ability to train all 3 toons on your account only 40 euros a month.
oh wait,,,,,, what have i done,,,,,,,,,,,,

Same as alpha, but with the following: Cross-race skills ramain active. (To the extent of alpha clones) This is the only way it could work. Beta shouldn't be an upgrade but a downgrade. Also, if you try omega once, you can probably keep it if you are good at making money. I heard that returning players, who had to stop because of money, but now as F2P possible would like to continue, often find themselves locked away from all of their stuff. Not just because the size limits, but also because they liked an other faction more than their own. Faction didn't matter before, this is an actually huge change the alpha clones introduced. Naturally pirate faction ships should be restricted to omega clones only, but it's quite easy to implement: any ship that requires more than one faction skill is limited to omega.
If you want an intelligent argument, please do, I'm up for it!
But if you want a trolling contest, I will win it by simply not participating.

Beta clones are totally unnecessary, what are you saving by adding a third clone state? Because it seems like you're complicating omega status for no reason |

Huh, it'd be an interesting idea - perhaps a clone that can train all skills at double speed, like an Omega, but that clone loses some of its non-Alpha skills when it dies. Perhaps devalue PLEXes and just require 2 to go full Omega? I.E. Alpha buys cheaper PLEX. They use the PLEX, and get the new state. If they used another, they'd get to choose: Be Omega for the remainder of the duration of the first PLEX, or extend your duration as the new clone state. Then if they used another after taking the earlier choice, they'd just extend their Omega by a month. (Doesn't work on subbed characters, just characters PLEX'd. That way ppl couldn't exploit and get easy Omega for ~.6x price.) |

I would even recommend alphas should not be able to post in this forum. No tech support from ccp no support at all not even from gms if they lose all there **** on a bug.
