Played on and off for about 10 years. CCP was sold to a greedy Korean company and it really shows. Cash is king, everything is driving micro-transactions. New players, who lose their first ship are given a pop up which states then can buy for real world money, a replacement ship and PLEX to 'boost' their chances of surviving the next combat. Game also has bugs which benefit the company by way of your loss. For example, I lost a 6bil ship and pod due to a bug they acknowledged in the help chat on their site. I asked for reimbursement and was told no. I have since cancelled all 5 of my active subscriptions and will not be returning. Avoid avoid avoid.
