Recently, I decided to upgrade my account to Omega. What are the benefits? Does it grant me a pilot's license? Please, I need all the help I can get before deciding either to get an upgrade or no.

So you decided to upgrade before you knew what you were getting in return?

Tell you what, you send me all the stuff you have and I will give you two of everything in return AND give you a highly detailed explanation of what Omega is. That way you'll have plenty of stuff to start your Omega career :)

Welcome to the exciting world of being an Omega.

You get all of the above as well as contributing to future expansions of EvE Online and the added advantage that when you complain on the forums, you are complaining as a paying customer and not a whining free loader.

Yes, that all is great, but do I get a license? 'Cause you know how they love to scream out on us: "Treak or treat! You upgraded your account, but we didn't say that you will get a license! Ha-Ha-Ha!"

It used to be that a plex or a subscription was the pilot license.

Now with alphas existing I suppose you could say you purchased your advanced pilot's license.

Recently, I decided to upgrade my account to Omega. What are the benefits?

I see no benefits. I can post here with this newfangled Alpha clone, so it's all I need.

There are a couple of different ways to look at this, and the way you choose has to do with a number of variables like your financial situation, the amount of time you want to play, how mentally invested you choose to get, etc.

First and foremost, remember that this is a game. How, in general, do you respond to games? Some people get really really serious when there's an ongoing bit of money, and they forget that the whole point is to have fun.

Some people start to feel entitled and turn bitter when they are paying money to get blown up a lot. Is that you? Maybe play for free for a while.

But the two approaches I mentioned above look like this:

1) Milk the free part of the experience to its maximum potential. The way the limitations are set, you can experience pretty much every aspect of the game in some way before you run into the skill limit. So do that, find out if it's worth it to you to open up the full possibilities of the game. There are even corps that will take FTP players in and work within those limitations. You can even experience the social aspects of the game without paying.

2) Dive in and commit a small amount of money each month to get--albeight--slow access to everything the game has to offer. Because you are not a bitter person who expects everything to work your way. Because you understand the mechanics of the game are not about "winning". Because you understand that losing a ship is just as much fun as killing a ship. Because you understand that there is no lvl 81 where you always win. There's a level of "winning" that is called having fun in a game.

Pick which one makes sense for you and go with it. There is more fun and more content in the subscription world than there is in the free world. I'm playing a n00b free toon right now just to see what it's like. You can do a lot of fun things there.


The choice is yours, and you don't need to pick only one.

I vote we change PLEx to CLUg to avoid confusion.

So let's put it like this.

Alpha is like going to the strippers and you get mostly look, touch a bit..but not much more than that, no there really takes you serious.

Omega is like buying the Strip Club, disinfecting all the dancers and then marring one of them, which is really what you wanted when you started going to the club in the first place.

Omega expands your experience, past what alpha offers.

You won't really notice until you start training into ships // skills that were off limits to you, and then you will mostly say, how the hell did i stay alpha for so long.

yeah...internet spaceships and strippers ...

speaking of which always keep a janitor and a prostitute in your cargo hold, it gets lonely in space, and you don't want to have to clean up your own mess.

Ok, miner, let me say you so, I got it. I have to upgrade, because recently I got ten million dollars, for nothing. Now I need to spend them somewhere, so I buy Omega.

my corporation leader has donated 10 million ISK to my account and I have already spent 2 of them buying the same ship over and over again.
