Well according to this PDF which seemingly is an internal newsletter sent out by CCP, it might not. We cannot be sure whether this newsletter is legitimate but there has supposedly been a CSM member verifying it’s athenticity.
So according to the newsletter ships, and various items that get consumed (Such as ammo and the like) will eventually see Aurum costing additions. This disappoints me as CCP has always claimed they would restrict the MT to vanity items only.
I also find the tone in the internal bulletin slightly disturbing, it’s too cold and different from how CCP markets itself to the outside world, which really is a shame.
Now we’ll see how this ends, I’m writing this down while I can barely keep my eyes focused, so I’m crashing now, gnight.
Update (June 26th)
First of all the PDF has been verified by CCP as legitimate. It also turned out the initial version released was missing some pages, including the editorial page (see here).
Now the opinions in the PDF were over-exaggerated, as was reported in the CCP devblog and is said less clearly in the editorial. Now as these were purely employee viewpoints it still is problematic. This because CCP promised us no MT, and then we get MT. And then they promised vanity items only, so why do you even need to discuss non-vanity items if you already decided on not introducing them.
And as of today still no word from CCP.
