Free-to-play is not unclear at all. In fact, it's explicitly clear: Dust is free to play. EVE is NOT free to play, it's free to install.

Ok whew I was sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out wtf was going on lol. What will likely happen is you can transfer isk or buy isk for the mini-transactions (I hope I can transfer isk...)
I wonder how much isk you could buy per $ in DUST, though. Would be interesting if they limited transfer from planetside or had an exchange rate that fluctuated with plex prices.

Tofu, before hand the idea is that people would have to buy into the game by buying some auren. Now they don't have to do that at all.

Fun times. Have any fleet compositions changed with the new stuff from Crucible and do you guys stick with BCs and lower?

Free-to-play is pretty damn simple. It doesn't mean free-to-play-but-you-still-need-to-pay-for-game-time-with-aurem or something.
Free.
To.
Play.
I don't think it actually gets any simpler without lopping off "-to-play".

We stick with bcs and lower, fortunately there are pretty imbalanced new bcs now :D

No one fills their EM resist on an armor ship!

We had just returned from killing a Chimera and I never switched back to scourge

Still it wasn't the issue that was unclear to me.

I don't get what the issue is. How is free-to-play interpreted as "free to install, but not to play"??
WHAT THE HELL

i think you are wrong tofu. you always have to pay in free-to-play games. first you have to buy the game and then buy all the micro payment nonsense.

You are always free to play games, but it may not be the right decision~

Hey mysticus, there's a fellow that thinks he is completely safe while mining because he can draw concord to his belt before hand. Even when I told him that you can draw it away by gccing an alt in an ibis elsewhere, he was still pretty stubborn and issued this challenge:
[23:48:41] Suntzu88 > ignebaener first ice belt
[23:48:51] Suntzu88 > 2 macks
He claims to be there every day. Hfhf, I'll pay you for each killmail.
You may have scared him out of that .5 system; he's moved to a .7 ice system outside of Heimatar.
Still will die, but lol.

Alright, screw it, I waited something like 13 hours to snipe page 1000, and it seems like no one is actually going to make the last post on 999, and I don't want to triple post because I'm not bbq :p.
I started my time in EVE around page 570, my first post was on 573 where I trolled kwark (badly, but very fitting if i might add). I started as a humble rifter pilot that was devastated when I lost my set of +3s because we didn't really have the salvaging network we do now, and I am now a space rich LP tycoon who can fly a plethora of ships (even though I'm still bad at EVE).
As Def stated in his write up it has definitely been a journey, I thought I knew a lot when I reached the peak of my WoW career leading a top 500 guild of 10 close knit guys, smashing all the content and raping in pvp. I learned just how wrong I was when I started EVE. I have learned so much just by talking to all the amazing people we have in the hatchery and even in spawning pool. Just the economics knowledge alone I have gained through the whole W&G incident as well as the LP business in general is going to help me for the rest of my life. The team liquid members who actually survive to become veterans are some of the most intelligent people in the world, and I am proud to count myself among their numbers. The type of person that actually thrives in EVE is just astounding to me. I'm going on and on about this, but I can't actually say it enough. Playing EVE is an experience that I think everyone, well at least all TL members, should have to go through. Its very humbling, and you learn so much. So if you are reading this and havent yet joined up, give it a try, its a wonderful game, and being in the TL alliance just makes it that much better.
I know that I have learned from EVE, but I like to tell myself that I have taught people as well and helped them through their EVE journey, and I hope that what I tell myself is true. That was one of my goals when I volunteered to lead Spawning Pool, even though that turned out to be not what I envisioned :s. Regardless I do my best, and will continue to do so as long as I am a member of the TL alliance.
I will do a proper history blog at some point in the future (soonTM), but for now I am happy to end the triple digit page number era, and welcome someone else to come along and snipe that 1000th page first post. o7
