Huyai Tsukurit Caldari Distillery	Posted - 2009.01.13 21:17:00 - [61] Originally by: Cedric Diggory Quote: CCP should start charging GTC's and CC in ú aswell as $ and Euro. Or lower the prices to even out the effect of the economic crisis. **** no, we should jump on the euro whilst it's 1:1! Increasingly my sentiments. I really hope it doesn't drop the other way. On topic though, I do have to keep reminding myself that is not 1:1.5 anymore. But hell, thats just a few more tesco value items per month.

Pesky LaRue Minmatar	Posted - 2009.01.13 21:57:00 - [63] Originally by: lamarar When you get the correct answer file this under the question "Why are so many people leaving eve?" you know, when you resort to hyperbolic statements like this, you pretty much lose all credibility. 3 PCU's in a month (5 weeks?) broken and we have to wonder why "so many" people are leaving EVE? if you mean you and your 2 alts, that doesn't count as "so many" people. \|+ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ +\|
Tobias Sjodin Ore Mongers	Posted - 2009.01.13 22:16:00 - [64] Originally by: Mashie Saldana Using 6-month subscription I pay about ú10 a month per account so what is the problem exactly? You can't even get a pizza for ú10. I can get two.
wickedsolatic	Posted - 2009.01.13 22:29:00 - [65] For all the bashing of the LOTRO lifetime subscription in this thread, all of y'all know that you'd love a lifetime sub option for EVE if there was no GTC for ISK system. BTW lamarar - can I have your stuff?
Pohbis Neo T.E.C.H.	Posted - 2009.01.13 22:44:00 - [66] Originally by: lamarar Good bye Eve hello LOTRO life time membership, now theres value for money! Wait... you're dumping 597USD on 3 LOTRO lifetime subs? Considering that the average user plays for 9 months, paying what equals 13 months for a lifetime sub isn't actually value for money for most people
AnonyTerrorNinja Minmatar Buggers' Advanced Interstellar Transport	Posted - 2009.01.13 22:59:00 - [67] Akita T, agreements need not have a visible representation to be made. Ever heard of the concept of 'unspoken agreements'? I have many times now posted on a GTC sell order thread, only to have the seller say they assigned the GTCs and that all the transactions (to myself and the other players on the thread) were completed; and yet, I magically never lost isk and never gained game time from the transaction, and the seller would promptly 'complete' their thread. Why might that be? It smells like an attempt to make it look like people are perfectly willing to buy GTCs at priecs as high as 600mil, and that they are doing so in large volumes; meanwhile it's just the same people desperately trying to find an offer that's legit, whether they have to pay through the nose or not. Back to lamarar; So can I have one of your characters? Pleeeeeeeease?
Kerdrak 3B Legio IX Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2009.01.13 23:22:00 - [68] Originally by: lamarar Tony Blair: Why don't we ask our economists if its good practice to compete against other countries by having uncompetitive currency. When you get the correct answer file this under the question "Why are so many people joining EURO?" Fixed for you ________________________________________
Enthral	Posted - 2009.01.13 23:29:00 - [69] Originally by: CCP Whisper Originally by: Khemul Zula Originally by: Gunnanmon Luckily nobody is forced to play. Laters. I disagree. Everytime I try to quit, a rather strange looking Icelandic person starts following me around and threatening me. I would like to apologise for Bj÷rk's behaviour...to be honest we all thought she was going on tour or something. ROFLMAO! -Grid
Ron Bacardi SniggWaffe	Posted - 2009.01.13 23:39:00 - [70] Good, just go, we don't care.
Blastil	Posted - 2009.01.13 23:52:00 - [71] Originally by: lamarar I've been playing eve for 4 year but since the timecards price fixing and crap economy I've went from paying ú20 for 3 months to ú35 (I pay ú46 for 6 months on wow), therefore running 3 accounts is no longer justifiable. Eve is by far the most expensive MMO I know of. Good bye Eve hello LOTRO life time membership, now theres value for money! CCP: Why don't you ask your economist if its good practice to compete against other MMO's by having uncompetitive prices. When you get the correct answer file this under the question "Why are so many people leaving eve?" And before anyone says says CCP arent responsible for the current economy, they arent but the Icelandic banking system didnt help now did it - lol Its your fault for paying for three subs to the same ****ing game. Why not drop two of your useless cashcow alts, and instead, hire other players, Get your buddies to play, or get minions.
Kweel Nakashyn Minmatar Kernel of War Tau Ceti Federation	Posted - 2009.01.14 00:05:00 - [72] Edited by: Kweel Nakashyn on 14/01/2009 00:10:33 Edited by: Kweel Nakashyn on 14/01/2009 00:10:09 Originally by: CCP Whisper Originally by: Khemul Zula Originally by: Gunnanmon Luckily nobody is forced to play.

I would like to apologise for Bj÷rk's behaviour...to be honest we all thought she was going on tour or something. lol On topic : In France, 2 packets of tobacco = 15Ç = 1 month of Eve. There was this guy who said one month = 15% of his month income... Mmo's aren't for everyone. (it's sad)
Darwin Duck A Quest Millitia	Posted - 2009.01.14 00:38:00 - [73] Edited by: Darwin Duck on 14/01/2009 00:39:12 Same price as all the other MMO's. And in my opinion EVE is the only real MMO. In other MMO's you can't fight for terretories. In other MMO's there are no concequences for your actions. No other MMO has a real player driven economy. Like the devs say. It's not a game, it's a simulated world, they only supply us with the rules and the tools to operate it. Like it should be. Wish there were any landbased MMO's with CCP's mentallity behind it!

Have can I'z yer stuffz?
Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS IDLE EMPIRE	Posted - 2009.01.14 03:42:00 - [75] Originally by: Kweel Nakashyn There was this guy who said one month = 15% of his month income... Mmo's aren't for everyone. (it's sad) I'm a college student with a less than part time job, so yea, it is a big expense, relative to what I make. although I hardly have any other expenses. probably bit less than gas, and about 1/2 to 1/3 of food. damn, wish I had a real job.
Dirk Magnum Royal Hiigaran Navy	Posted - 2009.01.14 03:49:00 - [76] Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 14/01/2009 03:49:25 Originally by: Kweel Nakashyn There was this guy who said one month = 15% of his month income... Mmo's aren't for everyone. (it's sad) If $15 is 15% of your income then you're managing to subsist on $1,200 a year. The guy must be living with someone who provides funding for all his basic services, because you can't live on that amount in the US on your own and not be in a tent city.
Shirley Estyre	Posted - 2009.01.14 04:28:00 - [77] be glad you don't live in zimbabwe and pay for your subscription with their currency
Ticondrius	Posted - 2009.01.14 05:54:00 - [78] I use a US PayPal account to pay in USD. Seems to always be the lowest cost in terms of what currency is has less value compared to the others. At paying 6 months at a time, compared to WoW or LotRO, EVE is virtually free.
EnslaverOfMinmatar	Posted - 2009.01.14 06:06:00 - [79] EVE is the cheapest MMO i know of. Paid $0.00 for a year, that's even cheaper than $50 for Guild Wars for 4 years.
Pesky LaRue Minmatar	Posted - 2009.01.14 06:11:00 - [80] Originally by: wickedsolatic For all the bashing of the LOTRO lifetime subscription in this thread, all of y'all know that you'd love a lifetime sub option for EVE if there was no GTC for ISK system. I'm not sure anyone is knocking the principle, just the fact that someone is trying to compare a crappy, derivative, cookie-cutter licensed-property-cash-in P.o.S. game with EVE. sure, LoTRO offers a "lifetime sub" to a game that it would be hard for anyone with more than a few brain cells to enjoy for more than a few weeks/months and sure, if EVE offered a lifetime sub i'm sure more than a few of us would take it, but trying to compare EVE and LoTRO is just a mistake.

The guy must be living with someone who provides funding for all his basic services, because you can't live on that amount in the US on your own and not be in a tent city. if it's the thread i'm thinking of, he didn't say where he was from (he said "anus of the world" when asked) but he did say that EVE was approximately 12% of the "average monthly income" in his home country.
Joe Umbra Legion Shadow Empire.	Posted - 2009.01.14 06:33:00 - [82] The only piont of interest in OP is the 'Lifetime membership' options. Yes please! Umbra Is recruiting Amarr Missioners!

Sholen Skara Minmatar	Posted - 2009.01.14 07:25:00 - [84] Lamarar, Your stuffz, I can has? Just ditch 2 of your useless alts, and you'll have a bit more cash on your hands methinks... ------------ Revenge is a dish best served cold, with those little yellow things on sticks...
Capt Sly	Posted - 2009.01.14 07:54:00 - [85] I really don't want want your stuff...it'd prollly crap. Thanks for posting though, on your way out!

And before anyone says says CCP arent responsible for the current economy, they arent but the Icelandic banking system didnt help now did it - lol o come on, if you can't pay with cash, pay with ISK. I know someone who (in empire) can easily earn 800 million a week with minimal effort :P not gonna tell you how though, thats for you to figure out.

Polar bears and Bj÷rk and you haven't had the common decency to put them in the same place My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.
RayBanJockey	Posted - 2009.01.14 08:01:00 - [88] There is nothing that saves you money better than MMO's, no matter the cost. I remember when I was unemployed for two years straight with a really low insurance payout - think I could have had as much fun without eve and wow? Having 3 accounts is pushing it a bit but eve itself isn't overpriced at all if you consider the cost per minute of other RL stuff like going to the movies and/or taking girls out ^^ --- RBJ

Where did I say he lives in the US. He could live in a poor country, I don't know he didn't want to tell. And if he lives in EU (like Greece or East Europe), 15% = 15Ç, or $20. Fetchez la vache !
