I was thinking of returning to Eve Online due to the recent arrival of the expansion, but on the account reactivation page it states that there is a $5 registration fee charged in addition to the normal $15 monthly fee. I've heard that this fee is just for new accounts, but that makes no sense to me since it is very specific and under the reactivation page. Has anyone reactivated recently who can tell me if the fee is charged or not?
According to the page, the only form of payment that isn't charged the fee are timecards, but when I priced time cards they cost $35 dollars for a 60 day card, which means that if you use time cards your paying an extra $5 every two months...it sounds to me like CCP is getting greedy.
Anyways, I want to go back but i'm surely not paying an extra $5 for the privilage given that you can buy the game new for the same price. If anyone knows any facts about it please post them here. It could be just a situation where CCP needs more clarification on their website, but the way it is worded as of today will push many people away from resubbing.
