Def Monk wrote:So, 500 plex works out to be 1hr, 26min, 24 seconds of game time per PLEX. Why not convert them all to 720 units, which will make every plex exactly 1 hour of game time?
One nice outcome about this is someone can say "Hey, I wanna buy/give 1 week of play time". And they can do that now. But, then the question rises: how many do I need? With the current 500 per plex, that math is complicated and dumb. At 1 hour per, its simple: 24 hours, 7 days, I need 168 PLEX.
If there's a specific reason for 500, I'd love to know.
EDIT: My math is assuming 1 PLEX = 30 days. I too would like PLEX CHARGE to be equal to a 1 hour of PLEXing, I mean subscription time.
Lets just call it PLEX CHARGES from now on.
PLEX CHARGES on the way. \o/

I did buy some Aur for Pink charity skins and have 350 left on 2 accounts I will probably top them up to over 1000 to avoid loss.
I dislike the available anywhere vault:
I have always thought being able to access an in-game item anywhere in the universe breaks immersion and would prefer a system where the PLEX are held at a NPC bank of your choice.
Have the game time act like a booster so that you have to be in the same place as it to consume it - Give a reason for player to risk moving PLEX & Mulit-player training certificates around in ships. I think they should scan accounts for bought Aurum and then for spent Aurum on those accounts. They should convert ALL BOUGHT and NOT SPENT Aurum for PLEX.

It will start from above 2M and will fast be nearing 3 M when all Alphas will grab a few. I would grab a few and I am Omega.

What I don't like is the super overcomplicated way of doing this. While I was not playing, the single most iconic item in EVE for me as an outsider was the PLEX. With this change it ceases to be a Pilot License Extension, and it essentially becomes AUR just with a different denomination.
I think the equivalent of this entire change could be done a lot simpler by selling game time in the NES for AUR and making AUR tradeable, instead of the current plans.
They wanted to keep PLEX because of its image in the playerbase. Its truly an AUR with an option to exchange to a game time with this change. They may call it PLEX and preload your account with some PLEX charges even, when you start playing in future.
But as AUR has always something wrong about it, its literally gold as in every other MMORPG fantasy game, they want to get rid of this name to keep the guise of originality.

In all this, I like one thing. Every new player will essentialy start with a CONCORD License extension card. He would only need to buy some PLEX charges and spend them to extend license to the available options.
It will be like a second job to make ISK to spend it on license extensions. Well it had been for some for years.
Alternatively you can be on welfare (alpha).

I came up with idea of PLEX being a license, being like a card that you can load with charges and then spend them for "extensions", rather than being on alpha welfare.
PLEX vault would then be called PLEX card. And would be filled with PLEX charges.

The concept of playing the game without paying is fairly engrained in todays player mind. You can do that with EVE now from get go, to infinity. But it also gives you some incentives to switch to Omega really fast, to have better experience, as you can get rather extensive experience already, but its hampered by Alpha peasant status.
Availability of PLEX charges, rather than full PLEX will make easier to stash as much gradually as they want. Giving it a feeling of progression and direction you can move into.

I remember the old icon for PLEX, that with visible photo and CONCORD on the gold backgroud. You should make it a legacy item and give everyone for christmas. Call it Pilot license and describe how every pilot in New Eden must have it at all times.
