Maybe give everyone access to the amount of EP they would have had since the date their account was created, regardless of them subscribing or not by having them pay for the missing months. I know that would encourage those people to come back and play and not be discouraged by the missing months of EP. I really don't understand the community of this game saying saying no and even being upset about the second EP idea from the OP. Would they rather be great among very few or very good among many? Also if anyone has played EVE this game takes no time at all to learn. I picked it up very quick and then was left waiting on EP to go up on its own. Something has to give here...
