I had a thought.
And i figured i'd post up about my thought before it got lonely and died:
There is Alpha - the free steam users.
There is Omega - the subscription payers.
Eve should consider at Delta clone class.
The way a beta clone class would work is
step 1 - agree to be a Delta clone class in your account settings.
step 2 - every 20, 30, or 60 minuites you get logged out of your game automaticly.
step 3 - every time you log in, you must watch an advertisement video.
The trade:
Deltas can buy/use items that Alpha's can't, but not qutie as much as the Omegas.
Why Eve should consider this:
There are many of us that don't have either enough time or money to make the subscription price practical or affordable.
EVE could still profit from us through ad partnerships, but the paying Omega customers would be spared the pain of having
to watch FORD automotive, Charmin toilet paper, or Monostat Seven commercials every time they log in.
Essentialy, it's an alternative method of payment - pay via ad viewing.
You wouldn't lose the Alpha population from add "annoyance syndrome" because Delta has to be sign-up instead of sign-down.
(and many omegas with their omega-only weapons and ships enjoy taking pop shots at the weak Alphas that stray into low-sec zones)

Please elaborate on your view, Nicolai. Why are you against this? you wouldn't have to sit though the annoying ads.

It would provide more income for developers to help their profits and re-invest in new content.
it's another way for eve to increase their funds without decreasing the experience quality of exsisting subscribers. |

Isk is no good if you can't buy anything but "Almost Crappy" items and ships as an Alpha.

Actualy, i spend all my money taking care of my elderly geriatric parents instead of putting them in a home or encouraging them to die faster.
Please check your arrogance at the door. |

Hahahaha @ Shallanna Yassavi
Wolfgang Jannesen , i just looked up what plex is. I didn't know that it was something that could be found on the market.
A simple "Hey, rookie, check out plex" would of been appreciated. |

Since i learned about Plex and it's availability on the market, Aedaxus, i see there is no need for a Delta.
And if getting revenue from advertising to a willing audiance would "Wreck" Eve's fincancial plans then you must think they are in a poor state of affairs. |
