i am constantly amazed by two conflicting feelings for this game and CCP: how at the same time you can have marvelous ideas and constantly improve the game and at the sime time manage to screw it up some way in the process, take some arbitrary dump decision and ruin the fun of your players base ( and clients....)
To get to the point, yes the new character creation process is great, much better thn the old one and I'm currently very happy that i can use it to lure more friends and acquaintances to the game, and feel positive they'll like it form the start instead of having to try to convince them that in two or three months they'll be having the time of their lives ...
BUT.
it is a complete nonsense and i wonder why did you came up with it ( beyond that it might make your coding life easier maybe?? ), to limit the recompensation to those players under the magic 800k limit. This way everyone else is screwed up , more or less depending on their advancement level, and even though if some may not bother to scream "theft", "bloody murder", "whatsover" :p, it still is a bad decision.
it doenst mattter that a character with all advanced learnign skills to 5 and +5 implants needs maybe 7-8 days to train those 500k-700k SPs NOW. essentialy this little idea puts everyone over 800SPs , 15-20 days behind what they would be if they had this better opportunity earleir in their trainign "career". Would you like to reinburse all of 150.000 cleints for 15 days ? nope didnt think so.
and dont say it;s insignificant even for a semi advanced or moderately advanced character.
500-700k SPs are a BIG deal to any character of up to 2-3 mil SPS.
500-700k SPs are a REALLY important to any character between to 3-7 mil SPS. (10+% of their total training..??)
500-700k SPs are a also iportant deal to any character of betwen 7-15mil SPS. (10-5% )..
and even you are beyond that point i dont think it;s irelevant.
========= as ana example a friend has an account with 1 character with 4.5 mil SPs, one with a but under 2 mil, and a new one with 350-500 mi l or so.
Tell me he's not screwed. sure his third character will get a mediocre boost, the other two are clearly to a disadvantage....
==========
I can go on... with many more exampels that showcase how bad a decision this is.
so .
Please iplement this idea the right way. give everyone what they "missed", in order to be fair and straight to your customer base.
giving everyone a 500k SP boost would be MUCH more fair than what you propose.
eitherwise give us 2 weeks of reimbursment for our accounts, as that's what we're essentially missing compared to new characters, at minimum... and we'll still be ****ed, just not feeling cheated..
