It would probably end up with the per-hour gamers paying vastly inflated rates, but in the long term I think it might save money for someone like me. I don't really want to pay $15 a month if I'm only going to play 10 hours that month.
Eve is a game I'm dying to get back into, but $15 a month doesn't quite justify what I'm getting out of it. I was subbed for a while last year and after a while I realised I was basically paying to work, because Eve had basically become a job. I was a miner at heart, so I'd often take a book to read while my ship mined asteroids and just stop every 20 or so minutes to send it back to a station to unload. Either that or I'd act as a guard for mining players for sums of ISK in low-sec space. If I can reach the point where I make enough ISK to buy PLEX, I'd gladly play again as it's one of the best MMOs I've played yet, but it doesn't quite justify the monthly price-tag.
