Endless money sucking is what Steam is all about!

Also, I think, you could limit the use of ICE to maybe no more than half of total subbed time. something to prevent someone who only subbed for two months from boosting too fast.

and really Burial who even cares there is like 8 people playing this game, lol, and you are three of them

This would bring a pile of vets back who feel they have been too long gone to compete EPwise.

Speaking of economy, PLEX is working very well in EVE, just ask CCP.

Zoom,

Imagine the influx of cash from people who had unsubbed for whatever reason.

They can catch up and you can treat everyong to steak dinner.

Everyone wins

but reminding there should be a limit of maybe a 1 or 2 catch up ICE per month

for people who are late, this is for people who were previously subbed, but stopped playing.

Maybe something like:

Take the amount of months subbed prior to 2014 January, in my example, the char was subbed for 8 months.

Take half that subbed time and that is the max catch up ICE and only 2 per month which is max per month no matter what.

Yeah!

it is pretty payish to win, but I want old people to roll back in and add some $ to game as well

I said no to ICE from the start. You can dig my posts up. Just because a group of capitalist pigdogs with little to no regards to gameplay and game balance saw they can increase their revenue with that game model doesn't mean it's good for the players.

Whats the point of playing this game, mine, build and trade, when someone with enough $ can come and just buy it all? You can already buy NIC with real world Euros but EP has always been the deciding factor on what players can do and use.

I would prefer it to be other way around, so people can buy their EP packages to even the gap with vets and the deciding factor is something that's more in reach than just waiting for EP to accumulate, but then ICE should go.

It's not really about me and my needs but the gameplay overally. What's the point to even try when you could just buy?

I am at the point where I just want people here playing.

It isn't going to be a very fun game when its just Burial vs. Beastmodeguns and everyone else is unsubbed.

One last very important point.

no   $$$$$   buys skill and it certainly doesnt make good PvPers or FCs

it does, however increase mining yields and damage etc.

but who cares?

The opinions of such a small set of people left playing are barely significant numbers-wise, including my own

sigh

im just saying that look at the population the way it is now.   non p2w and non f2p

take a look

do you just want 36 islands to 3 guys?

Something very big has to change,  massive.

Steam did not help other games and it will not be the savior of Perp, it will just increase the population a bit very short term.

I am wiht Gunner in theory.

And yes STEAM is just bring 500-600 people then 1-2 month leave maybe 10 will be here longer term. If we dont catch the new players, what I am acutally thinking to do.

So lets buy some EP to who would like. So lets allow to buy 300 k in 3 month row or something. That should help all of us.

Make it sooo sooo expensive. maybe 100 k / month is 100 $.

-1

The only way EP will be sold is when Perp goes on an 'off the rails money grub' just prior to the devs closing down the server.

So what your saying is we should start taking bets on when this will happen?
