Why are extra characters still $3?

Doesn't Eve Online have an item mall? (never played it not too sure, but I thought it did...)

I believe they have system call PLEX, which isn't item mail but a system to prevent RTM

Except at this stage addition retainers past your first will be billed at $3.

lol

You get two retainers for free, additional retainers past your second will be billed at $1.

But you were close, good job.

The second retainer was not included with the original release. They allowed you to have 2 for free until an undisclosed time at around patch 1.14 go back and read it. It said temporary

Don't even try to compare Eve Online to any MMO out there when it comes to economy, especially XIV. You can virtually own real life money in Eve Online. Sell it for in-game currency, exchange it, transport it and even destroy it. The economy is just at a whole different level.

i remember them saying it was $3.00 for a character & $1.00 for a retainers back in early 2010

dont know who uses 2 character on one account to be mad because you need one character only and thats it.

As before, and until the release of Version 2.0, players will be entitled to employ two Retainers at no charge.

At this stage, you get two retainers for free. Any additional retainer costs a dollar.

I don't see what the original release has to do with anything. It's 2011 now, not 2010.

You sure?

"As before, and until the release of Version 2.0, players will be entitled to employ two Retainers at no charge."

I take that as meaning that while we'll have our two retainer for free, there's also no option for purchasable retainers until at least 2.0, especially since they made no mention of the purchasable retainers at all

if you have info that indicate otherwise however, I'd love to see it, since I was really hoping to get some extra retainers :/

It sounds like no one was right? I see your point.

They did introduce the NeX store back in the summer expansion, which contains different clothing items for your character to wear while they walk around aimlessly for no reason inside a tiny little room that served little purpose and nobody can see anyway outside your character portrait.

oh, and it was also overpriced to hell and back, with most items in the double digit range, and reaching upwards to almost $80 for a monocle.

needless to say the feedback was less than positive. Outside of a few who have more in-game money then they'll ever need (can use ingame money to purchase plex, then convert to aurum to buy cash shop item), the store is pretty much universally ignored.
