Originally by: Mac Maniac I am seriously considering closing my 2nd account and from what I am hearing from my corpmates; many of them as well. CCP you are heading in entirely the WRONG direction.
Yawn.
Don't worry, your threat to cancel your 'second' account has been noted and falls into a very low to non-existent likelihood of occurance. And if it were to happen, the revenue will quickly be replaced by a real dedicated player once power of two is offered once again.
Thank you CCP for starting to address real paying customers concerns of being able to play the game by 'culling' the free loaders into paying what is more appropriate for an on demand method of payment which is common everywhere else.

I can see why CCP choose this route, but I think they should have kept 30 day-card because it is a nice cheap measure as in my case where the CC expired, and added the 60 day-card option.

Please CCP don't remove 30 days GTC... That was so convenient I could take a few days break between two months of gaming. I guess I can pay by Mastercard then cancel my account 30 days later to keep my playing pace? But that means I would have to pay in Ç And that's a 50% increase. 30 days of Eve costs me 9.5Ç via GTC (cheap $ ftw) instead of 14.95Ç via Mastercard.
Rise 30 days GTC price CCP but do not remove them please

I don't think anyone here has any right to complain in fairness.
It was just TOO easy to get a sub for like half price if you lived in the UK by buying GTC in dollars, sure WE save money but CCP lose it, and they simply can't allow that, which sucks but hey ho they need to make money you know...
the value of playtime just rose about 50% in isk terms too which unfortunately could affect some people :( -------------------------------------------- [IMAGE REMOVED]

Ugh. I'm really not happy with this. I don't think my whining is going to really achieve much, though. At least I'm lucky, my second account is mostly for skilling a mining character and I have a spare slot on my main, now. So all in all when the last GTC runs dry I can flip them over and call it a day for the second account. Then I can keep enough ISK flowing in for the primary account.
Still, this sort of comes out of left field and I can't say I like it. Oh well.

Damn, that was fast!
I cancelled 4 accounts a couple of weeks ago and gave as the reason that I didn't see any point in paying the Euro rates when I could get it 1/3 or more cheaper if buying at GTC's at SC. I then recommended they harmonise prices so the US players wouldn't be playing for the higher prices charged us Europeans.
However, I think the policy they should be following would be to only sell GTC's in Euro, and then let resellers like SC deal with the currency conversion.
I'm glad it worked though

Originally by: Naomi Chiyo Edited by: Naomi Chiyo on 22/05/2008 15:22:22 Those new timecards don t just affect the games flexibility, thy are increasing the price by the fair amount of 35%. Just consider a 90day -GTC being sold for over 50$ cause that would be the equivalent to those new codes. I mean when you ve to adjust to something, and change the length of the codes, WHY INCREASE THE PRICE BY 35% AS WELL ?
Because the $ is ****, thats why. Once the yanks sort out their Bush economy, prices might drop again.

How will CCP be able to get away with such an extreme rise in what they want to charge for EVE, when no other MMO publisher has?
I have a certain amount per month I am willing to pay for a MMO. Currently I run 4 accounts. That will be cut, indeed I just set very long skill trains on 2 of them and canceled. CCP will in the end make no more money because of this.
Plus, this will only bring back the ISK farmers/sellers. Now that the cieling of the worth of ISK has just been pulled due to GTC prices becoming irrational, they were just given new life.

I will close extra acount will only leave main online and not sure if it will be online too long, there is ppl that cant pay Ç to play the game, paying with isks benefits both CCP and players, this changes will close a lot of extra acounts Bad move CCP, worst even when Lag and desyncs keep going up and up, you ask for more money for a game that doesnt get better.

Oh, I think they will earn more. One in every seven accounts affected by this would have to be cancelled for them to be worse off. Don't see that happening.
European players are as happy as fish in a pond about this. It shows that CCP wants this to be a game where everyone pay the same. For Americans, blame your government....

I suspect that this is the first shoe to drop, and that they are going to raise the monthly fee by credit card as well.
Seriously, someone needs to be doing some serious `splainin right now. If we are to pay more, we have a perfect right to an explanation as to why, and what this extra expense is going to get us.
If it's nothing, well, CCP, hate to tell you this, but with the cost of gas doubling in the last couple years, food prices rising, etc, this means less money left over for entertainment.

At this point, CCP might aswell add in a life time subscription option. I would seriously consider it now. Hellgate London, and Lord of the Rings both offer these options for $150 for one account. I think the idea is awesome and I would be willing to pay that high but one time fee to not have to worry about time cards and monthly fee increases ever again.

Seriously, With the weak $, this is a wise move by CCP to keep afloat. And if you people cant afford two extra bucks a month, skip a couple of beers or quit smoking. Its not that hard. $2 extra a month.

Accually he is right. Americans right now pay alot less per month to play the game. The dollar is worth about 40% less than it was when eve first start so who can blame them for raising the price.
If eve = cow and euro = chicken and dollar = pigs. If 1 cow cost 15 chickens but 1 pig is worth 3 chickens how many pigs does it cost to buy 1 cow. thats right 5 pigs but the way it is now they are accepting 4 pigs and the chickens dont think its fair.

While we are at it lets remove GTC trading for ISK too...I mean seriously, get a job you bums. If paying the monthly fee is breaking your budget then playing online computer games is the least of your worries. There is only one valid reason for GTC use and that is for ppl who don't have a credit card and therefore a GTC should = subscription cost or close to it depending on where you live, end of story...none of this getting GTC's cheaper than subscribers shenanigans.
You can cancel and restart your account using a credit card any time you like so i don't see how GTC's are more flexible with regard to choosing when you play.

Because 1 Euro is 1.572 dollars? Try check the dollar vs euro chart. Then start complain to the US goverment instead.

Can you read? or do simple maths?
Now: 90days = $38.85 = ú19.63
After the change: 60days = $38 = ú19.2
Now, tell me why I'm as happy as a fish in a pond, unless the pond is acid and the fish is melting alive. I don't see exactly how losing a month of playtime but paying the same makes me in any way happy. --------------------- Nox Eternus is Recruiting, contact me or Sgt Shazz ingame for info. |

Originally by: Jack Gilligan I don't think US politics are appropriate here.
Why? They're the base cause of this.
CCP operate in RL ISK (which I think is bound to the Euro?). The free-falling dollar means CCP is getting less money all the time from their US customers, but their expenses stay the same. Basic economics say that they'll have to raise prices.
So yes, US politics are appropriate to mention here. Building up a ginormous state and trade deficit has always had one result, and that is a devalued currency which automatically leads to higher prices for imports. EVE as such is an import. Cause and effect!
