so you, let me get this right.. the 300 free aurum you gave us, will eventually convert to 1k plex, which essentially is a 30 day game time down the road for free?

Hey guys,

Since the release of the PLEX Changes blog a few days back, we've been monitoring feedback, looking at suggestions from the community, and discussing internally what the best course of action is as we move forward with the changes that are coming to PLEX.

Today we have a follow up blog from Team Size Matters for you guys, with a little additional information and a some key changes to how we intend to roll this out.

Once again, thanks for the candid (and sometimes colorful) feedback and discussion over the course of the last few days. We're always open to listening to the concerns and suggestions of our pilots, and looking at ways we can continue to improve the EVE Universe with your help.

Check out the Devblog here, and feel free to leave your feedback in this thread.

No it converts to 300 plex. Or 0.3 plex. Be thankful you get that at all, instead of the previous trimming of the low fruit.

Changes look good to me.

You still have not allayed the concerns of many players with regards to the PLEX Vault. Giving pilots the ability to immediately transport PLEX through the galaxy renders the PLEX trade completely moot. PLEX price depends on what region it is sold for because of the risk involved in moving PLEX. Now the trade will be abused by characters who will transport PLEX instantaneously to be sold at other stations. The market will go flat.

Please do not make PLEX a special Item. If you need to protect new players, give them a warning if they try to undock with PLEX. This protects new players without destroying player-driven markets. This as bad if not worse than the update that killed the booster smuggling aspect of the game. Please do not destroy existing organic game-play. Dumbing down the game will probably help retain new players, but it will dismantle the things that made Eve great to begin with- an organic player-driven universe.

Recent changes have be concerned. I pay yearly subscriptions for the immersion. The arbitrary legality of boosters and the introduction of The Vault (aka hyper-spatial commodity teleporter) chips away at that immersion. With all the babying these updates are trying to accomplish, it is starting to feel more like a game than a wild space simulator.

This already wasn't much of a concern, because it takes a few minutes and a character slot (and not even that now with Alphas) to buy a PLEX in Jita and then private contract it to your alt, at which point you can activate the PLEX remotely. It has been this way for *years*.

i honestly dont care since i lost well over 64k aurum in dust, which ccp never honored moving over. that ended my MT affair with them.. forever.

Well, Mr Immersion, when you transfer money between accounts and people in real life do you carry it in a suitcase full of used bills, or use electronic means to transport it? I don't recall the Somalian pirates ever targeting ships carrying wallets - at least not full ones.

I do remember American transport planes losing literally tonnes of US bills in Iraq. Like several Hercules' loads of $100 bills, but that's the exception, not the rule. Also: Americans. Also: RL politics restrictions in here. Google it.

Denying people carrying PLEX seems to only hurt RMTers, and help newbies to me. Do you RMT Mr Immersion?

The only way this actually destroys your gameplay is if the vast majority of the playerbase suddenly starts reading available information, which seems unlikely.

No, 300 aurum will convert to 42 or 43 NewPlex, depending on the mood of CCP_Round (so about 8.6% of a current PLEX). 64k aurum would be over 9000 NewPlex, equivalent to over 18 current PLEX.

I don't know how the DUST aurum worked though, so I don't know if they are comparable. You certainly have my sympathy if they were.
