So do the CCP employees play together much/at all or do you all do your own thing?
Did you perhaps start off together and then break up?
Do you shoot at each other much? Any "special" treatment you give each other if you see each other in space?
Has a CCP Employee ever been shot up and lost a large amount of ISK/assets by another CCP employee?
Do you perhaps intentionally seek each other out in a fight or perhaps intentionally avoid each other in a fight?
The funny thing about this sentence is that by the time you've finished reading it, it's too late for you to realise it doesn't say anything. |

Now it seems there are a few 'casual' 0.0 players and noone who is truly representative of the 0.0 endgame.
No wonder patches have stopped iterating PvP and warfare and instead just introduced side-show minigame after minigame without improving the core gameplay.
When I read recently in the CSM minutes that CCP "would look at interating existing features hopefully after DUST and Incarna are completely finished" I gave up the hope I had remaining. How many times have we heard that a feature introduced is "modular" and would be expanded on heavily in future only for it to NEVER get balancing let alone iteration. (Hint: COSMOS, Heat, t3, alchemy to name but a few).
PS: Playing since closed beta 3.

Holy **** - Blue and Red box avalanche!
Thanks for the responses, Devs... you know we love you guys, right?
Also... I forgot to update my clone before venturing out into 0.0. Any chance of getting magically sent home to fix that situation? Thanks

Originally by: CCP Navigator My main was retired when I joined CCP in 2007 but since then I have trained three other characters to 40-50 mil SP and nowadays I hang around low sec areas or run an odd mission in Empire when needs must.
I've actually always wondered about this.
Is it customary or required to retire your current character(s) when you join CCP, or do you get to keep them if nobody knows there's a dev behind it?
I can only imagine what happens to the mail inbox of a known dev alt...

Another carebear checking in! I've been playing since 2005, ran my own corporation for a while and did mostly missioning, industry and small gang pvp. Took a break in 2008 when I joined an awesome company called CCP and played on/off since then.
Just recently started playing more seriously again, have joined a small corporation and I'm currently training up skills for PI, then I plan to work on my pvp skills and get myself back up to speed on how best to blow stuff up

Im not sure I would agree with your statement that .0 is the"end game" of EVE as that doesn't seem to be the case, in fact its arguable if EVE has an 'end game' at all.
Patched have introduced PVP - FW is one example, the new sov system another: it just so happens that they are flawed and didn't really hit the target.

Playing the game since May 2003, also participated in the beta. I am a hardcore 0.0 guy, I was involved in high level politics as a CEO of decent 0.0 corp before I joined CCP.
I have 3 active accounts atm, all 3 mains located in 0.0. Playing pattern varies, depending on what's going on in the area of space I am living in. I love CTAs and pew pew.

So whats your opinion on the state of 0.0 at the moment.

got a few questions do you still have to pay to play or is it a bonus for working for ccp.
next i find it hard for you not to use your inside knowledge or known staff i.e. "you loss a ship due to a bug" Do you get it refunded and do you get it back faster as your a member of staff? 0101011 001101111 011011000 110000101110100 01101001011011000 1100101001000000 1001110011000010 11101000111010101 11001001100101

I'd be really surprised if any of them even ask for their ships back; even when it's a legitimate bug - just to avoid any risk of people accusing them of cheating the system.
It's really great to see so many CCP Devs still playing and more importantly; playing all aspects of the game. It's good to know CCP isn't really biased towards making one single area better than the others.

I started to play 2003 in the last 2 months of the Beta. I tried nearly all parts of the game (except piracy), was in several alliances, ... At the moment I don't manage to play as much as in earlier (student-)days, but I'm still active and kicking.

I've been playing EVE longer than I've worked for CCP.
Started in '05. Mostly PVP, low sec pirating, guerrilla warfare. But lately looking into industry and trading.
I think it's pretty safe to say, although I don't have any data on it, that most CCP employees and probably all that are involved with the development of EVE, play EVE and the majority probably did so before joining CCP.

Yep, since almost 5 years now (was it that long? Damn). The only things I have not done as a player is T3 production, fly Supercaps, Faction Warfare and pirating (something I am seriously considering doing next). Everything else, from running missions in high sec, mining everywhere I could find rocks, to being part of alliance leadership and conquering regions.
Sadly, despite all this, I am still completely broke in game. I need to start making ISK again. /me boots up the client. |

I'm not claiming 0.0 is -the- endgame for Eve, merely that there is a type of alliance 0.0 pvp that is the endgame for 0.0 playstyles. As it happens this is also probably the playstyle that has the highest ratio of "veteran" players.
FW - half implemented sideshow, almost completely pointless - rewards for PvE side of it only. Added nothing to overall mechanics of warfare.
New sov system - half implemented replacement for a mistake. Made lag and blob warfare considerably worse and 0.0 territorial control MUCH less dynamic - overall a massive error (and missed opportunity) that should have been revisited within 3 months rather than ignored for a year with not even proper discussion of improvement.
CCP has lost touch with its hardcore playerbase and its original concept for Eve. I am still hoping it will find it again. CCP need to realise that 'ooh shiny' new features that are essentially artificially 'bolted on' to the game (such as PI), while great for attracting new players and providing about 4 months content for favourably-inclined existing players, add little to the overall game whilst so many existing features need balancing or iteration.
CCP please focus several sprints on identifying existing features, balance or mechanics that need love and giving it to them. A massive balance and iteration patch adding depth will win you FAR FAR more in retained subscriptions in the long run than new but ultimately shallow bolt-ons.

It was my decision to retire my character permanently while I am employed by CCP. I will not go into too much detail as this is something decided between new employees and Internal Affairs

I'm not sure how many posters/lurkers attend Fanfests, but we do hold a Player v Dev event that's a lot of fun to watch.
I'm not sure of his overall playstyle, but this is my favorite Yokai story. He wasn't working for us then. But as a player, he was on the pickup team Bubblegum that made it all the way to second place in the FF08 PvP tourney. It was amazing to watch this batch of strangers play amazingly well.
