For a game that places such a massive emphasis on the economy, EVE Online may be taking a bold risk by unifying all of its real-money trading sectors into a single region. But that’s indeed what happened this week as CCP activated EVE’s Global Plex Market.

“The global PLEX market is now active, creating a single unified market region where all PLEX trades are visible and accessible, regardless of location (Abyssal Space excluded),” the studio announced. “All PLEX trades are now pooled into one unified market, with purchases still delivered to your Vault. No hauling or travel needed, just pure liquidity.”

CCP said that the new market is “both a stepping stone and a learning opportunity” and will be “closely monitoring” its initial debut.

EVE Online blogger The Nosy Gamer argued that the rollout caused some disruption and uncertainty due to a lack of clear communication: “Just remember that when changes like this occur that the developers might not give players all the information they might like ahead of time. I think veteran players understand. Newer players may not.”
