CCP Games has announced today at the EVE Online Keynote during EVE Fanfest 2012 that, beginning May 1st, UK players will be able to pay for their EVE Online subscriptions in pounds sterling, which will result in an estimated 20% price reduction versus the current rate. This introduction aims to accommodate requests by the UK community to pay in British Pounds rather than in Euros. The regularly monthly subscription fee will stand at £9.99 for UK players.

With more than 400,000 global subscribers, EVE is the only MMO to have grown every year in the past eight years since its launch. CCP continues to provide support for the EVE community and this UK price reduction is just one example of their ongoing development within the EVE Online universe and outside the client itself.

“UK players have been an important part of the EVE community from the very beginning, organizing some of the very first player meets, being at the forefront of EVE’s PvP alliances and expanding the EVE experience with such creations as the epic “Clear Skies” movies. The enthusiasm and creativity of these players has only underlined the importance of the UK market as we enter a very exciting time for the EVE Universe.” - Jon Lander, senior producer for EVE Online.
