Sir T:
So will older character be able to come in and be targets enjoy the thrilling gameplay and rancid spectacular playerbase of eve? What happens if you are in space in a more advanced ship when you log in as a Free To Get Ganked Play player?
Reg:
If the best a free to play player can do is use T1 cruisers then this whole thing is nothing but a publicity stunt to get people to try the game. And that's fine. They'll probably get some new subscribers out of it.
Fordel:
That's probably when most people stop playing to begin with, once they realize the investment required to move past cruisers and such. I'll probably give it a go when it happens just to see where my character stands in the grand scheme of things.

Q: If I used to play EVE, do I need to do anything to activate Alpha State?
A: No, any unsubscribed account will automatically be set to Alpha State.
Q: What happens if I log in as an Alpha but I’m in a ship with required Omega skills?
A: You will be allowed to fly the ship until the next time you dock, but any ship bonuses or attributes will not gain the benefits of Omega skills.
They have not decided if the multiple client login restrictions that Trial Accounts have will also be applied to Alpha State. Are you an insane multiboxer who can't be bothered to mine asteroid fields dry to subscribe your fleet of mining barges? Gank some freighters in Thoraxes without worrying about bills for a bit!
People who can find even a few others to play with will benefit from this, since there will certainly be enjoyment when some alpha cloners blow up someone flying something expensive. It will be interesting to see fleet doctrines that try to get some fleet cohesion out of the racial ship restrictions.
