I haven't had a chance to look at it all. Received the newsletter in my email. I know I would like the concept. I enjoy playing Eve-O, just not enough to justify a monthly subscription.
Years ago there was talks or rumors of it going F2P, and there was a lot of people against the idea. This was after the huge strike. It's been a while so I might be wrong about the time line.
I was an avid subscriber and was also against it. I still don't think it would make for a good game if it was but, on occasion I wish it was free for me to play.
