I VOTE FOR CCP TO BRING BACK THE 30 AND 90 DAY GTC's. IF EVERYONE COULD, BUMP THIS DAILY SO CCP CAN SEE THE ERROR IN THEIR WAYS.
Time for my sob story  and how this affects me. (Bashing welcome I guess) But I promise you this is a real situation.
I'm currently a student in college (community college) and I'm living at home with my parents in a major American city. I've always been lower middle class and my parents always had a hard time getting by. The main reason I never got into MMO's is because I could never pay the monthly subscription. Now that I have a job, I do make money, but I'm now paying for classes, the internet, the cable, my cell phone and my food clothing as well as helping my parents time to time. (My dad, after 52 years of living, finally got the "balls" to mortgage the house) My point is, you see, I'm stricken at the end of the month for money, and currently supporting 2 accounts cannot afford the $15 a month for each. Thats why I've gone with GTC's.
In all actuality, CCP is getting my monthly subscription from someone else (as many have mentioned). But now, I'm not sure if I can throw down 800mil every 2 months instead of 3. Thats an extra 43million isk a month.
I don't understand how CCP will even make the same money doing it this way, because so many will have to cancel accounts (an go back and play fps's >< ewwww)
Regardless, and I hope you made it to this part, I VOTE FOR CCP TO BRING BACK THE 30 AND 90 DAY GTC's. IF EVERYONE COULD, BUMP THIS DAILY SO CCP CAN SEE THE ERROR IN THEIR WAYS.
Thanks!

Any complaints about US paying less for the same service are not really valid. The market in US for game subscriptions in US is about 15 USD per month. Some are less, a very few are a buck or two more. If EVE online attempts to charge 23 USD per month they will price themselves out of the market. While EVE is a unique game most people could make do with other entertaining titles for 2/3 the cost, especially with the collapsing economy putting price pressure on every aspect of life.
I'm not sure what the motivation is with the 60 day GTC but they can afford to alienate over 1/3 of the customer base that uses GTC and still not take any losses. Perhaps they are targetting farmers and those of us who use GTC are collateral damage? Maybe less people paying more is a more efficient business model for EVE? Anyway, welcome to the new improved price plan of EVE, and don't hold your breath for it to change for the better.
I have to agree with you there, the solution would be to decrease the euro amount though, not increase the US amount. Regardless, THE REAL ISSUE IS THERE ARE NO MORE 90 DAYS! BRING EM BACK!!!

... pity ...
BUMP and comment
It's worth a shot either way. Too many people are dependent on the 90 day's, including myself, so we should put all effort to bring them back (and the 30 days of course!  ) Anyways,
LETS KEEP THIS ON THE FRONT PAGE ALL THE TIME, CCP HAS TO REALIZE THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM!!!!!!

Since this hasn't been bumped since my last post I'll comment...
How would people feel if CCP decided to raise 90 days to 45 USD/EU if they brought it back?

Im going to be honest with you all here.
If you cant afford the monthly cost of playing eve, you shouldn't be playing. Period.
And why the Hell is that?
