This is one of my alts didnt want to wake up my main after a hard days mission running. If a limit of 200k did come in even if you werent planning to play in months you would still keep accounts active and just log to change skills. Maybe the original poster already has 10 accounts. This smiley looks like the one for not very good ideas

Great business plan I hope the OP is not working in position to define business strategy for his company.
Lag is here to stay. Lag is a problem of every single MMORPG when a lot of ppl are doing something together in the same place. Lag was always an issue in fleet battles. Even when 10k ppl online was considered to be record-breaking, the lag in fleet battles was horrible. CCP had upgraded their hardware, but the server population increased as well. The only way to solve the lag in fleet battles is to totally rethink territorial warfare mechanics. I don't know how to do it and I can't see this coming from CCP either.

The Need for Speed is an ongoing thing where we design everything with the goal of reducing lag, this is for both hardware and software.

Isnt the limit to the number of people the hardware (not the current infrastructure) can support alot higher than the current subscriber base. I remember something about tranquility only using a relativly small amount of its total processing capability atm. Once they work out the best approach to distributed computing on tranquility it should be able to support even greater numbers quite happily.

Hrmmm.... are you offering to help kill me, or help me out with "my cold"? B/C if you're working on distributed sov objectives, then I'm airmailing you a freaking case of a local microbrew.

I think what gets me is the fact that space is oooohhh so full thesedays, and with lowsec being so hard to make cash in, and 0.0 the play ground of the bigger allainces, most normal folks are finding empire more and more laggy and generally full

That's because "most normal folks" in this game have a hard time thinking outside the box, taking acceptable risks, thinking in an entrepreneurial fashion, and in general don't want to do the hard work of scouting/researching/supplying/exploiting places that are lucrative but more difficult than average to access.
Think CCP put those small and isolated pockets of lowsec (think 2 or 3 systems either dead-ended or surrounded by highsec), or those highsec pockets that require lowsec travel to get to, in there just at random? Negative, buster. They're there so that people who have the stones to take the risk can become rich...if they dare.
Stopping lag, in one easy step:
Get. The Fark. Out. Of. Jita. (replace Jita with any 'hub' system that people congregate in like cattle)

Why cap subscribers to satisfy the extreme minority of A) Jita huggers or B) Fleet-fight fiends that are the main crybabies when it comes to the "OMFGBBQLAG" deal? Count me out. I live in a nice quiet corner of the galaxy where lag is nonexistant and local stays low and/or empty. If you can't figure out how to find your own quiet corner, so sorry, you are only average player. Please try again.
I'm sure many 0.0 corps would like to find a nice quiet Corner of space but the problem is their neighbours like to "visit" and show their new purchases off like new turrets or titans....

Perhaps the time has come for the expansion of empire based solar systems since it seems like players prefer these locations to low sec or to 0.0 systems. I would suggest adding constellations to the busier empire regions to see if this causes the players to spread out more evenlly in the game. If this does not work, perhaps a rearrangement of stargates will cause a shakeup that will spread the players more evenly in the empire. The last thing we need is more 0.0 systems for the big alliance to control.

This is just wrong.
We have had gangs of 20-30 people crash in SYNDICATE because of what is happening in Tpar in Period Basis. So no, it's not just the jita or blobbers who feel the pain of the lag these days. It's happening in 30 vs. 30 fights aswell.
Whil the OP is an obvious and self-proclaimed troll, I think I read somewhere that the goal was to get 300k subscribers. And a massive amount of money was to be spent on the marketing part( I can't for the life of me remember where I saw/read it, but possibly a dev blog?). Maybe they should shift the focus a bit, and pump more cash into creating less lag environment and answering petetions of players, rather than cater for possible costumers?
I ofcourse acknowledge I have no idea of the inner workings of CCP and how they prioritise their cash. This is just the impression I've got.

Well to the OP, it's a silly ideea from the point of view of CCP, they need to make money.. more money the better :)
Now the only thing that could resemble what you are saying it would be to loose lots and lots of their customers because they can't provide the services they supposed to.. meaning
their loss would be bigger then the gain of new customers.
This will never happen, and you know why? because us, the customers, are stupid... I know I am, stayed 2 years in a MMO just waiting for the next patch that would make the game enjoyable for me, see ...next patch,project,improvement,add-on,fix whatever... the bone dangling in front of my eyes
Now I found myself returned to Eve for 1 year and something, and have this Need for speed in front of my eyes.. not new ships and skills, the need for speed.... waahh
Still in my numerous major fleet battles, I found myself once maybe twice where I had a no lag in a fleet battle ( that's 1 year of constant 0.0 fighting). Prolly I will stay for 2 years mark then will go and look elsewhere a bone to chase.
Seriously though, I didn't find anywhere yet, what the deal with 80% of people participating in a fleet battle are lagging to death while the other 20% are having a blast by killing them with little to no lag?
I mean, I have lost 3 or 4 ships in a row to invisible enemies... that's no fun at all, I begun to play with 2 characters on 2 computers to increase my chance in the lag lottery but it seems I'm not very lucky yet. :(
Couldn't it be possible, that you could share the love, at least make all of us lag the same?
Anyways for what it's worth I like CCP people, at least they post on the forums, they don't have the "ignore it, maybe it will go away" attitude.

100% playable until they get sued.
Pretty sure what you're suggesting is illegal.
What makes you think it is illegal? It's not like they have to let people play. It's just in their best interest.
Refusal to trade legislation.
obviously not everywhere has the same rules but pretty sure that england (where the servers are) does have it.
could also come under discrimination, letting some people play and telling others to bugger off.

You know, I know of a government that tried to regulate the amount of income its citizens could make amongst other things that seemed good at the time. I believe that government folded in 1990 and the country has yet to really rebound from its foolishness.
You know how quickly this would kill CCP? Within the month of this being implimented they would scare off any potentally new individual from even trying eve as they would have to:
1. Hope that they were at the end of a short list
2. Would have to check back routinely to make sure the list was moving
3. Would really, really want to get into EvE in the first place to put up with that BS.
