I used to run 2 eve accounts 1 main 1 alt switched 2 chars over to my main after GMs took 2 months to deal with my petiton last xmas, that's right 2 months. Then they tried to tell me i had already received a reply which i clearly hadn't else why would i ask wheres my reply.
I switched to paying with gtc purely out of principle whilst i spent my emorage playing other games my main 5 years account was always active.
Couple of months back i was going to sell my main toon use a new alt set up the 2nd account had to pay 20 pounds despite having 2 eve online cds in boxes ?? then switched that to gtc. I cannot afford the current gtc prices or the subs since i'm currently not working so that alt account that was gonna ghost bs 4 to 5 is gonna be gone i wont bother with that account.
Personally if CCP were straight up from the beginning i wouldnt see a problem I remember them struggling to get players when 5k on the server was a busy day, maybe when the server has this kind of number again CCP might actually obtain some sort of decent customer service.
Few words of advice if your teaching kids or feeding them info they like to have it in small digestable chunks. Adults learn differently and prefer to see the whole bigger picture so maybe quit bullshitting people and just say this is how it is, we lost x amount of money or we need x y z for this etc.
Oh yeah and the vast majority of your player base are adults btw in case you did not notice.
As for Mr Lonestar hes clearly a CCP alt, yes its your game but if all the customers leave you gonna be left playing eve on your personal server with just 1 player yourself :P

I don't think its about a free lunch its more about having a 2nd account and being able to train skills up cheaply mainly capital skills.
The macro miners wont be affected they can mine happily with 4 or 5 accounts on one pc.
In essence there's going to be a large amount of 2nd 3rd 4th accounts dedicated specialist toons that wont be renewed simply because of the cost.
How does this affect the game?
1. In the long time CCP loses money from accounts not being reactivated not sure how this will affect game development.
2. It might benefit corps since it reduces the number of alts hopefully a good thing.
3. Cash rich alliances with rich players in real life think of your BOB alliance here for example will gain a huge advantage because they can afford to pay for dozens of alt accounts so mimicking real life, EVE becomes a game for the rich.

Finally A reponse from ccp, fair enough your man enough to admit your mistakes but the problem with canceling the Ghost training is it simply that players with multiple accounts will cancel alt accounts either because they feel they have already been messed about or simply because they cannot afford to pay.
I've no doubt in my mind that this will result in lost revenue for CCP and quite simply this could not come at a worse time with the world wide credit crunch.
Thanks CCP, wish you had told me this before I created a 2nd account and paid for a month and brought a gtc and a nice set of +4 implants. With only 2m current sp I cant even justify selling the character and my mains account is full with 3 characters.
With the recent hike in GTC and game subs I cannot afford to run two accounts I cant even ghost the alt over xmas either.
Like many other people I will be running just 1 account and after playing for 5 years I hope that this announcement of yours does not ruin whats left of a good game.
