A: The entire balance will be converted. For example, a balance of 1050 Aurum would be converted into 150 PLEX."
Could someone please explain this to me? I don't seem to understand the math here 7 aurum will become 1 plex. so 1050 aurum is 150 plex. They're ignoring aurum balances below 1000
Really, and how about the 900 Aurum I bought for -ú3.99, i'm just supposed to suck it up and lose it?
I'll bet, same as other on here that it's nowhere near legal.

No. 30 days chunks only.

A: We currently we have no plans regarding smaller game time packages. [/quote]
Too bad. Should be trivial to code. Instead of incrementing expiration at 30 days from now - increment by 1 or 2 hours for each NewPLEX spent for game time. Pretty sure that transition to or from OMEGA status in mid-session already works smoothy, as does safe storage of newly added PLEX against server crash. At least I hope it does.
Although the net income change would be hard to predict. I would think training alone would keep most advanced players subscribing or PLEXing for continuous time regardless of PLEX or time increments.
It is however almost certain that many more ALPHA players would at least buy a few NewPLEX with ISK just to try out equipment within easy reach. Lots of ALPHA players can afford to buy say 5 NewPLEX with ISK

You don't see a reason why CCP might not want to let people pay for only an hour or two? [/quote]I can see a few reasons why, not an hour or two but a day or two could be beneficial.
Weekend Warriors - Those who have trained up characters to a point they are happy but due to RL can't play through the week and don't want to, can't afford to, sub an account they can only use a few days a month. I personally know of 3 or 4 players with many more accounts in this situation that currently don't play eve at all.
Being able to sub an account for a week - Could be just the thing to get on the fence Alpha's to sub. Once an Alpha has reached the skill point cap there isn't much else to do other than start a new character in a different faction. If they could sub their account for a week to train up a few more skills it may encourage them to stay subbed once they realize the benefits of T2.
Steve Ronuken, There are a few more use cases I can think of but I'm sure you get the idea..[/quote]
I fully agree.
They need to sort the 500:1 ratio, that just makes no sense. It's much more sensible to make it scale with single days and hours.
Being able to sub for a weekend has a good appeal, and it'll help players out who are maybe on hard times. Don't forget though that the isk still has to be earned to buy the micro plex in the first place.
As for no subs below 30 days....if they are even contemplating it in the future, they should do it now and not let the rumour mill keep rolling.
