gently caress I miss that guy


I miss him melting down over dumb poo poo, back when CAOD was worth reading and all.

I remember having to help clean up the mess that is Fountain jumpbridges a couple of times.

It was decidedly not fun being the adult in that room.

And then there's the minor detail of that idiot pissing away all their ISK on bullshit instead of building a sustainable income model for the alliance, but what can you expect... at least he didn't RMT it all (as far as I know :v: ).

I doubt he would have rmt the alliance funds. Pretty sure his goal was to keep the lowest amount of isk on hand to avoid someone leaving with most of it.

He (and others) had plenty of programs to help FA members, such as providing carrier skillbooks, wartime srp during peace time (which led to not having enough srp during wars).

I can imagine that dealing with him might have been a pain fron the vantage point of someone who had to tell him what to do, but for the average grunt he was cool.

I enjoyed my space jobs. The recon one was the only hard one to stay with due to the time commitment during war.

The rest didn't require me to actually play the game and I got to poo poo on directors all the time in Illuminati so I consider it a net win.

Ill just see if there's a demo. Certainly no one still makes demos in 2019 and it's just a throwback to being an older gamer that I even know what they are :smugdog:. I won't even have to

Haven't played Eve in about 6+ years and not sure how I got into this thread but uh what the gently caress? When did PLEX get changed? Last time I checked, one was the equivalent of ~$15, not .. 3 cents.

Also why the gently caress did CCP make regular cynos blops only? Or did I misread something?

"Stand back, Ottawan ruffian, or face my lumens!"
You didn't misread.

PLEX replaced Aurum as the one true currency for the stupid poo poo of EVE (like SKINs and skill point extractors), which means rather than it being a single unit that used to cost $11-15 depending on the deals you could get, 1 PLEX is a few cents' worth now and you need 500 PLEX to buy one month of Omega time to be able to fly the neat ships.

The new PLEX ain't like the old PLEX. What they're selling here is "PLEX currency" for microtransactions (gotta buy those blingin' ship skins, son!). If you wanted to buy gametime with it, it's 500 PLEX for a month, so still $15.

If it's really 500 plex, then they've inflated the prices a bit. conspiracy side of me wonders if they did that transition just to make this a bit harder to calculate.. well, except the flat 500 is rather blatant Flat 500 is $19.99... lol. Even with that ridiculous 15400 purchase, it's still $16.23 for a month.

A single month Plex package has been 20 for a long time. Paying directly for a sub is cheaper, you have always paid a premium for being able to sell it for isk

I'd say this is completely debatable and there's far worse MMOs out there- then I remembered that you're actually an idiot, who spends all day huffing his own farts, and also that arguing with you is futile at best.

the game where you can immediately buy all progression and all content simply with $$$ to the point you could overthrow an empire of 40,000 other players?

Has that ever actually been done successfully, though? Mostly I just hear stories of idiots buying an account and a few hilariously expensive ships for stacks of cash and then wandering straight into a gate camp or something.

There are plenty of games where you can p2w to the point that you become a nigh-unkillable murder machine, whereas in EvE it mostly seems to just make you a big loot pinata for someone.

RED.Overlord did exactly this in like 2009, the CEO claimed to be a "Russian aluminum magnate" and reportedly paid their lead FC a salary of $2000 USD per month in addition to buying 100k+ of plex to bootstrap the alliance's war fleet. They almost kicked the Old NC out of the North alongside IT and Atlas in MAX3 - would have worked too if Goonswarm hadn't just re-settled in TCF space in Deklein, and, well, we all know how it ended.
