Originally by: Jacob Marden Unless I read the CSM election results wrong, it states that almost 40% of the subscription base is North American. Making that much of your playerbase pay more money essentially because the smaller percentage of Euros are evading their own countries' taxes by buying with dollars doesn't strike me as making much sense. The NA people are going to be making the same amount of income regardless, so increasing the cost of their entertainment will just alienate more of them and sooner or later they'll talk with their money.
When you guys are paying the same as the rest of us you'd have something to complain about.
Until then shove it up your arse. |

Yes, I can see you all hate AMERIKKA but you have to realize that about 40% of the players are from their. Thus 40% don't care that the dollar is down right now they just see them selves getting shafted and they know if and when the dollar comes back up time cards are not going to go back to what they were use to. This will just pis people off and has the chance to make tons of American's quit. That would rip a new hole in the price of characters. It would also tank the Timecard market because they would not be selling them for isk. This would mean that ccp would lose even more money because of this change as they lose subscribers and the 30% increase in timecards sure as hell won't help if they lose a ton of players.

How is making the monthly fee $17 with gtcs in line with the industry?
I think that makes it one of the most expensive in the industry...and more expensive than its competitors.
If it were 60 days for $29.99USD, it'd be fine. It seems they aren't thinking long term and just want to immediately exploit eve before it goes under.
I'm sure peoples main account will pay it just fine...but prepare for a lot of alt accounts to go inactive. Doesn't make a lot of business sense tbh.

Idiot.
No-one has said anything about 'America' here. The fact of the matter is, a good number of us are paying more for the same game, effectively subsidising other players. So the response is the same:
"Boo-hoo"

This is about the only thing I agree with. The price adjustment is not unreasonable given the global economic situations, but 30D timecodes are handy.

Hate has nothing to do with it. We just want a fair payment policy where all players pay the same per month of playtime. This is not an unreasonable expectation.

Quote: Changes coming for ETC's and Game Time Cards
reported by: CCP Wrangler | 2008.05.22 13:57:19
To simplify the ETC reseller program and attune our product offerings with industry standards, CCP will introduce new 60-day EVE Time Codes (ETC) and Game Time Cards (GTC) for $34.99 USD. These will replace the 30- and 90-day cards that were previously available through authorized resellers and the 50- and 100-day cards sold in the EVE Store. This will affect both online ETC's and Game Time Cards sold in the EVE Online Store. Orders may still be placed for time cards of all increments while supplies last or until the changeover to the new 60-day cards goes into effect on June 15, 2008.
Where is the original post?

The distribution of subscribers by region and the votersÆ distribution by region is more or less uniform with few exceptions, such as Poland holding 1.88% of the cast votes while being only 0.84% of the eligible voters; Germany and France both have a noticeably large faction of eligible voters, yet fewer than could be expected actually showed up in the booth.
Country % of voters % of subscribers United States 32,81% 37.06% United Kingdom 15,60% 13,92%
We want to thank all of the candidates who threw their hats into the ring and gave it their all. Watching the campaigns unfold was fascinating. We also appreciate those who supported the CSM by voting. There is no way of knowing where this will lead, but weÆre all in it together and the promise of what we can accomplish together is astonishing.
HUR I'm wrong its only 37.06% but still the largest single group.

Being a large group isn't a reason why you should get the game cheaper than the other 63%....

Most other games have servers for euro's and us because of stuff like this so that they can keep their prices fair for both people. Euro's all pay the same and us servers all pay the same. CCP doesn't and that is one of the reasons I love the game but it also has them pis on a large group of players for one reason or another. Sig removed.

I don't see a problem with the price rise. To be honest, as a lot of people have said, it's been a long time coming so we'll just have to accept it.
On the other hand, why get rid of 30/90 day GTCs?? It makes no sense. In the face of rising costs CCP should be giving it's customers more options to fund their account in chunks which suits their lifestyle/wages/whatever, not bottleneck everyone into a single option, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of players are lost not because the game is too expensive, but because the way they have to pay isn't feasible for them.
Bring back 30/90 day GTCs!!!

Dear CCP, I just want to say that I am very disappointed on the decision to remove the 30 and 90 Day GTCs. Raising prices would be OK with me, but removing options that players have is always a bad idea.
A lot of ppl playing EVE are probably around the age of 18. At that age, it is far more comfortable to spend lesser amounts of money more frequently instead of being coerced to spend a lot of money less frequent. I think CCP is moving in a totally wrong direction here; probably losing players.
I hope the newly foundet Council of Interstellar Management can do something to reverse this decision.
A disappointed long-time customer.

I don't give a $hit for a higher price... thats not a problem for me, but...
WTF CCP? Removing the option to subscribe for 30 days by ETC/GTC is just ****in' terrible.
Having 3 accounts is just awful, when you can't set a LvL 5 skill during an offtime on one of the accounts.
So you really think that this is a smart move?
This will cost you some I'll tell ya .

So you basically want CCP taking responsibility (and a financial loss) for the disastrous economic policy of your government? This is not the way economics work. You buy a service from CCP, CCP pays their expenses in ISK/Euro, your currency drops against ISK/Euro, CCP has to raise your prices.
CCP would do themselves a big fat favor if they only sold GTC's or other gametime in ONE currency. Then discussions like this wouldn't occur.
