After some time away from EVE (arguably quite some time) I felt like getting back into it. I have had some good times and some terrible times but all in all I like most of it.
After installing the game and logging back in, trying to figure out what all my accounts were and what they were good at, I realised that the Omega price has gone through the roof so much that I’d rather live with the itch and find something else to do.
It’s sad though, because I liked the universe but I can simply not spend that kind of money on a game

Came back to it for about a year during covid lockdown, had a great time in faction warfare, but quit when they raised their monthly subscription prices. Not worth it. You hardly get half the game play without a sub. Game is too much of a grind even with a sub, so most ppl multibox. Bots are rampant too.
Personally, I actually came back for the grind. I like the laid back gameplay of mining and transporting. I had looked forward to getting better at exploration. But $20 for laid back, casual grindy gaming, is too much for me.
I just recently started playing again, I’m having fun on the alpha front. I should be able to start making decent isk soon so hopefully I can just Plex my omega
I am sure you could but then it becomes a job just to be able to play. You’ll end up doing stuff for hours just to pay for subs. Sure its fun to achieve a few months in a row but youd also want to play the game instead of making ISK
Yeah maybe - suppose I could just bulk pay my omega upfront to save money. Maybe I’ll do that later - I’m fine cruising in my venture right now tbh
I’ve been getting the itch a lot lately as well. I’ve mostly staved it off with other space games, but none in my inventory really have the risk of flying like with EVE.
I got my eye on starship evo, I’m hoping it eventually turns out into a nice one.
Now you’ve got me trying to remember what it was before. I know it’s always been on the expensive side compared to other MMOs, but can’t remember specifics.
£16 ($20) a month now, with discounts for buying more than one month at a time, if anyone cba to look it up. I want to say it was about 12ish last time I played? Might be entirely making that up though.
It was $15 pr month last time I was here. That was already pricy IMO.
That is about £12 according to the internet, so at least my memory is still intact.
If only the endless amount of free time I used to have for playing was still intact too :D
