This will cost you a lot of subscribers. This move along with the idiotic time card move some months ago does nothing but anger and alienate your player base. You lose much and gain almost nothing.
Better to have someone who pays 6 to 8 months out of the year compared to 0. When you force a players hand like this, they are more likely to walk away to one of your many competitors. I have 10 accounts with you guys. 7 or 8 are subbed almost year round with a few that go inactive from time to time. The timing and tone of this announcement has me really questioning whether I still wish to be a customer any longer.
There are a lot of MMO choices out there today compared to when Eve first launched 5+ years ago and new ones launch nearly monthly now. If you can't see how this is only going to result in the overall player base shrinking along with your revenues, then there really is no hope you will get your act together in other areas to fix the REAL issues that exist within this game.

I have gone to look for myself. If I get back before I return, please ask me to wait. |

Well. It appears you actually did go through with this even after thousands of your customers posted their concerns in this thread.
I will be cancelling my 10 accounts.(few of which which were ever ghost trained for any length of time) The magnitude of the stupidity of this decision on your part astounds me.
For all of our amusement, please do share active subscriber numbers over the next 3 months or so as current subscriptions expire. If you do not lose at least 10 to 15% of your subscriber base at a minimum, I will be surprised.

One final post for me. I just finished cancelling my 10 accounts. I won't likely be coming back to the boards while the remaining weeks tick off my various accounts.
For those who are saying that CCP is doing this out of greed, you are wrong. For every 1 person who now pays for the time they used to ghost train, there will be 5 others like myself who cancelled their accounts permanently as a matter of principle.
This is going to cost CCP money, lots of it. The decision to move forward with it is just yet another sign that they are disconnected from their playerbase and don't really understand us at all.
If CCP reverses this decision, I may come back. Otherwise, I'll be spending my game time playing Warhammer with my friends who obviously were far smarter than me and left this game long ago. |
