It’s hard to believe in this day an age that payments aren’t relatively the same for gamer’s everywhere but they are now. You might pay $20, someone in the UK might pay $25 and someone in Australia might pay $35 all for the same game after the conversion rates are all said and done. To make it a little easier on your wallet should you play the masterful EVE Online by CCP they now expect payments in pounds sterling GBP instead of Euro’s. They’ve not only allowed you to pay the subscription in GBP but you can also buy your PLEX in pounds sterling as well. Check out the blow post here which breaks down how much you’ll be saving on your monthly subs, PLEX however remains the same price you can just use your currency of choice now.

Reykjavik, Iceland – May 2012 – CCP Games is proud to announce that its UK players are now able to pay £9.99 for their monthly EVE Onlinesubscriptions in pounds sterling. This alternate payment method was introduced to accommodate requests by the UK Community to pay in British Pounds rather than in Euros, which results in an approximate 20% price reduction for them to access to the immensely popular, award-winning massively multiplayer online sci-fi game.
With more than 400,000 global subscribers playing in the same universe, EVEOnline is the only MMO to have grown every year in the past eight years since its launch.
A recent, very popular UK EVE “meet-up” in London with members of the CCP team successfully demonstrated the strength, engagement and passion of the EVE community. The UK price reduction is just one example of ongoing, fan-focused development within the EVE Online universe, which is set to deploy its next major expansion, EVE Online: Inferno, to all paid subscribers and trial players on 22 May.
