Just read this and I have to say if CCP are going to charge us to be able to speak to friends out of game when voice chat has always been free in EvE Online I'm out.
Who ever thought of this new money grab should be sacked! |

comon guys lets keep pressing the UVT issue. A few people have suggested good alternatives for ccp to make their money from cosmetic upgrades or UVT at channel level only and not player level. A response to these suggestions from a dev would be nice. |

And, yes, of course, we are looking into additional options, offers, features, etc for UVT's.
Yes but once the game goes live players who wants to be in serious corps/alliances will have to pay this or be of no use at all to their respective corp/alliance. Jian your reply also comes across as emotive, have we hit a nerve at CCP with this one especially after CCP had the same fiasco with EvE Voice and had to back down. The player are trying to tell you that we dont mind paying micro transactions for a whole host of things. Just not something that is vital to a corp/alliance based shooter where co-operation across planets and even entire sections of the EvEverse will be required.
Edit - Just to add CCP many of your players see this as nothing more than a money grab and putting "Free" in caps doesn't change that or the view that your game is quickly becoming pay to win. |

The scale of the game on release will make UVT's practically compulsory on full release if you want to be part of a decent corp/alliance. |

I'm not arguing against micro transactions to fund the development of the game, I prefer it as opposed to a subscription based model. It means if I can't play for whatever reason I don't have to keep paying for the whole month. What I'm opposed to in a free 2 play game is a vital mechanic of said game being a paid element.
I would probably pay around the cost of a subscription for a month of EvE in micro-tans for things like cooler looking suits etc. But not for an element that will be required to play the game as was intended. As part of a corp/alliance and taking and holding planets in null sec.
Edit - I bought the merc pack even though I already had a beta key because I wanted to help develop the game, my opinion is that UVT's(In their current format) is wrong. |

Well at least we can both agree that we want dust to do well 
CCP Should have known this issue would generate some heated debate they have been through it all before with EvE. Only time will tell how it pans out. |

What you are paying for is an add on, an extra feature in game. The only thing that needs to change is the price point, which needs to come down at least by half.
I would probably say the price needs to come down 75% to be competitive with TS/Mumble/Vent. You describe the feature as an extra, that maybe so compared to other PS3 games but it doesn't change the fact that for corps to function across several sectors of the eve universe effectively will require comms. Yes require not "it would be nice to be able to". Although a minimum of 50% reduction of price would probably get a few of us off our high horses and accept it. |

I'm definitely of the same opinion as you Orin, I like the idea of charging for custom channels etc, but keeping your corp/alliance chat free. Maybe a system where the UVT could be used at management level to expand the number of channels etc within the corp channels to allow for better organization. I would think alot of corp leaders would like to be able to setup private channels for different things like meetings and to divide the corp chat depending where you are in space. |
