EVE will be free to play for Alpha clones. Looks like CCP finally realized that the game currently is in decline and needs some fresh meat for the grinder. Come one, come all .. experience EVE Online ... an MMO like no other.

"....When we launch later this year there will be two clone states available:

• The Alpha Clone State is the new base state for all clones and it will be available to any character in New Eden at any time. Clones in the Alpha state will be able to train and use a specific set of skills including tech one Frigates, Destroyers and Cruisers for your faction along with essential weapons and modules. Alphas will also train skills at a reduced rate compared to Omegas.
   
• The Omega Clone State is obtained by augmenting basic clones using neural expanders and cerebral acceleration technology, granting unlimited skill access. Omega clone state will behave exactly as your subscribed characters do now. 

Your clone state will be determined by your account status. Characters on subscribed or PLEXed accounts will be granted Omega state, while Alpha state will be given to characters on any unsubscribed account...."

EVE Online is special. Interesting. Merciless. Unforgiving. I like it.

Have fun
