"Q: For balances over 1000, will the entire balance be converted or only the amount exceeding 1000?
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

This.

Reducing needless complexity makes sense, adding needless complexity on top of it does not.

Are we have any of the questions in this thread answered by CCP or the CSM?

I guess the big question is

will CCP allow purchasing OMEGA time in 1 NewPLEX increments. ?

If so a lot of specialized alts can be left ALPHA except for the exact time that you need them at full OMEGA skill.

Yet somebody will still need OMEGA to add skill points into EVE either by direct toon traiing time or as injectors.


Sort of win-win for CCP and players. The ultimate flexibility. Players can more quickly fly Titan or whatever via injectors without dedicating their RL...but also save some money afterwards by goign OMEGA only on weekends. (LOL - Sounds odd to spend hundreds RL to jump into capital ship immediately then squeeze pennies as weekend warrior. But people on budgets do stuff like that with hobbies all the time when they expect years of involvement.)

And skins and other stuff may well sell better when its only exchanging a few hours of game play -- rather than committing to exchanging a whole OldPLEX (30 days of gameplayer) which can then really be spent only on more (often far less wanted) store stuff.

Q: With smaller PLEX, will I be able to buy less than 30 days of Omega time?
A: We currently we have no plans regarding smaller game time packages.

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

they're ignoring balances below 1000 lol players buy aurum from starter packs and your basically saying get rekt lol good way to keep customers.

I thought the whole point of breaking the Plex into 500 parts was for people have easier access to activate hours of Omega State, which i was so freaking excited when they announced this new Plex method.... and... now i hear that you can't activate less than 30 days at a time? really?

Say that when the "free" or "bonus" plex goes away fro the offers. Before 20=1 plex=500plex which is 440+"bonus/free"60 for 20. When it stops and it will, it will no longer be the same cost, you WILL have to spend more to get the same.
