So apppppaaaaaarrrrrently, come November, EVE Online will adopt an interesting free to play model based on its longtime use of in-game clones. Now there will be two levels of clones:
- Alpha Clones – These more limited clones will only have access to certain skill trees and equipment, and will be free to play.
- Omega Clones – These fully-functional (ahem) clones will have access to all skills and equipment, just like current subscribers.
You can read a lot more detail about the changes here, but this is really a massive deal. I’ve been wanting to dip my toe back into EVE here and there for eons now, but not for a subscription. Now I can! Yay!
So yeah, big news methinks! What do you think? Will this get you to return to EVE at all, or try it for the first time?
That’ll certainly get me to try it! I’ll always enjoy a new space MMO.
Do you wanna try some Jumpgate? It’s a really good fun tiiiime. You can go fight some Flux, haul some ore, or even miiiiiiiiiiiine.
