I ...I want to believe that this is a new direction. I will continue to wait until the expansion that brings these promised changes. Though Hillmar is contrite, the arrogance of his initial response has left me feeling no reason to trust CCP without seeing the change first.

Yet somehow people read what they wanted to read, and got the impression it isn't...<br /><br />Just as some gentleman on the Eve forums has stated:<br /><br />Hilmar:<br />"We are not going to change to f2p unless something changes"<br />"f2p however is the future for all mmos!"<br />"things are changing for all mmo's"<br /><br />So I'm sorry but this -to me- is a clear indication that f2p proper shall soon be there for all of you guys who pay/play Eve game. My acc's duly expired already :)<br /><br />Then he goes on about how they will add more features to Incarna... Great but... well I've heard that one before about virtually EVERY single expansion they released...<br /><br />Selee above says that "this time its going to take more than words" well looking at the forums it took just that for the general public to go "Wow" and "omg amazing" which is imo frankly disgusting and servile. "The boss threw us a bone and said a kind word we must bow!"<br /><br />Well who cares eve's pretty much dead in the water now anyway. Even goddamn Aion is more attractive nowadays and that is a one TERRIBLE game.Alucard291https://www.blogger.com/profile/03685226424785956737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513786954657025496.post-84469725541817213122011-10-06T14:24:40.040-05:002011-10-06T14:24:40.040-05:00Will see...all accounts are still suspended, entir...Will see...all accounts are still suspended, entire corp is on hiatus.<br /><br />some 8 years of my (gaming) life invested in Eve, I'll be sad to see it fail ultimately. But if it doesnt return to the focus of 'space combat' and some semblance of a wargame where actions have real effects on your opponents abilities and resources, I cant see wasting any more time on it.<br /><br />Eve as is makes me sad.sartoriihttp://www.eve-genco.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513786954657025496.post-34080435908277100862011-10-06T13:50:37.317-05:002011-10-06T13:50:37.317-05:00Kudos on the work done, but anyone who fully trust...Kudos on the work done, but anyone who fully trusted CCP at any point in their history was terribly naive. CCP is, after all, a corporation.<br /><br />They have a shitload of work to do and a lot of cultural/workplace baggage to address before things can be said to look objectively positive.Jambehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06373677455129413039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513786954657025496.post-56595755463039354532011-10-06T13:31:54.635-05:002011-10-06T13:31:54.635-05:00Excellent progress made.

I've been there, done it, and that was when I still had fun actually playing - and we had not been as involved in CCP's loop.<br /><br />I'm sure you will stay vigilant in future and hammer out good priorities with Zulu.Hendrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03181849159639695921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513786954657025496.post-48190983997475232452011-10-06T10:59:45.717-05:002011-10-06T10:59:45.717-05:00Good PR piece, but I have some experience in real ...Good PR piece, but I have some experience in real life in "estimation" on very large software projects and the accompanying list of things they are doing definitely made me chuckle.

(here I talk mostly about how they handled the plex / gtg matter in last 3 years, I used to pay 300-350mil for 3 months of game time meaning ratting for 4-5h and I was set for 3 months. They took that out and now not just me but across the eve universe people fear the "plex day". They talk about getting a bc in a pvp fight since a hac is to expensive and plex is 2 days away... And that's just a example)<br /><br />We pvping type of guys have to include a special isk making time (boring as hell time) just to pay for the plexes. Today's plex price is 410 mil I'l need 2 in 14 days from now. That's 820mil in 14 days under war decs and constant 0.0 wars where I lose so many ships that I can't count. (not to mention the anom / system true sec nerf)<br /><br />So yeah the entire blog is a fake msg, even a average guy can see it contradicts itself in many statements.<br /><br />Did it work?? .. Sadly Yes, I felt sad and started wondering about the intelligence of the eve players when I saw the replies of some people.<br /><br />Will eve ever be fun again??... <br />No... not as long as CCP chases money more than the respect of the players.<br /><br />Will people move to another MMO if/when they find it?<br />Yes.. I already play more WOT than eve and I think I'm not the only one.<br /><br />Will Eve eventually die under the greed of the leadership like many other companies?<br />Yes.<br /><br />Can eve be saved by stupid blogs where ceo's beg for people not to leave game instead of actually showing respect to the people by losing some of the profit and making the game more accessible?<br />NO!<br /><br />PS: Dont even wanna get started on the incarna / vanity store. That accentuates even more the greedy appetite of the CCP leadership.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
