    I like this idea but i don't know if it would help how slow game play is in this game.

    I wonder if CCP considered creating priority log in queues for Omega accounts.

    Knowing them my guess would be no, PVP everywhere even when trying to login. ;)

    Have been trying to log in since the servers came back up, but, as it needs the two factor authentication, waiting for it to arrive in your inbox is.. looks like over an hour, guess the log in servers are over stressed at the moment

    only 25k online at the moment, so if they are having this big of a problem with only that many, then i have a feeling something is going wrong with their log in server generally.

    Outside of some two factor validation shenanigans on 2 of 6 accounts (other 4 did not require it) and all of the email validations I had no issue logging in both at 6 and 10 PM ET. 

    Maybe I missed the rush.

    Sad, there isn't any similiar game like EvE after 10 years. Just set into fantasy world. Well, somone could say Ultima Online, yeah its great just the look of it seems to be kinda outdated.

    CCP have done almost zero marketing on this expansion - it's word of mouth only at the moment. They've openly said they're going to let the kinks get straightened out before they start making a noise about it

    Yeah had it not been for threads like this one i´d missed it completely.

    Darkfall seems a good base for it, but nobody seems to be able to fix it.
    I still have hopes though.

    I'm not sure if it's worth it to play free on an Alpha clone given the restrictions. I can see why they need restrictions to make F2P work but I think they went a bit too far. Tech 1 cruisers limited to player race, no T2 modules, some skills limited to level 4 leading to fitting issues or cap stability issues.

    If you made a trial account you'd be at that point in a week at most, probably a lot less. Do I really want to be stuck flying a Caracal forever? Hmmm. No, I think it's just better to pay the sub instead of flying a gimped char/ship.

    Logged in to my old character from 2009. He had all the minmatar tier 1 ships and over 800 million isk. Only can fly cruisers as f2p. And all the skills that took a month or more to train are locked out to me. But the game looks beautiful. Logging in to a top lvl character as f2p is useless though.  Also i don't know what happened but i can't fly my cruisers because they have an extra hardpoint equipped or something. So i guess they gimp your tier 1 ships if your f2p or they nerfted them some time ago.

    Have to agree with you, the limits on the free player are beyond ridiculous.  Oh and by the way, forget the Caracal, missiles are excluded too.  Sucks to be a free Caldari player.

    That was my line of thought, just didn't think it is intentional....somewhat like Incarna all over again.

    It takes a special kind of person to look at free and then complain like they are somehow entitled to more.

    All the T1 ships got reworked in the past few years. What ship do you have? I can help you with a fit.

    As a brand new character.  You can make enough money ingame to buy sub in 5 days.  @Gdemami did it and has a screenshot if I can find it.
    Are you onto something or just on something?

    IIRC the Rupture is the best dps cruiser now, the Stabber being not much through of. You will still be able to buy & use the navy faction variations.

    What are you looking to do?
