Originally by: Black Dranzer It feels like everybody's running out of steam. After cancelling a subscription, there's not much to do but stand around screaming outrage, and my throat is getting sore. This thing has been given major publicity already.
After the magiked scorpion, the $99 for being a fan who supports CCP's game EVE, Aurum GOLD paywall, etc. There isn't much more to say, CCP are who they are and EVE is what it is, turning into what it will.

You know what would really be the icing on the cake at this point in time?
If CCP put a "once only" ad on the log in screen for the NEX store..

This is the only MMO I have ever played. I started playing because it was so unlike other MMOs. Player-driven story. Player-driven economy. How many of us subscribed because of Guiding Hand Social Club's infiltration of Ubiqua Seraph? How many of us read about the huge EBANK scam, or the stories of the Great War?
Now CCP wants to squeeze the neck of the Golden Goose to see if it'll pop out some more eggs in its dying throes. Then it can be like all the other dead, lame-duck MT MMOs out there.
No thanks. --- Which is the best DOOR picture??? Bartholomeus Crane speaks out! [img]ht |

It will be in your Eve Cache folder if it did.

I did. I shamelessly admit that the GHSC article is what made me want to play this game. But, I sure don't want to be part of what they have in mind, now.

Originally by: Maraner I dont see myself quiting over MT. BUT it will depend upon whats available. The cosmetic stuff is not an issue for me but if people can start purchasing new ship types or modules / drugs etc I think that will be a disaster. As always the devil is in the detail. Either way we seem to be living in interesting times. I think its about time that CCP comment on this formally.
Yea... it is everyones own call. I vented over a day before could put anything to words... and then I spent couple calm hours to write this... and felt rather good to be done with it...
I don't wait or even want CCP to talk me back to their customer. Only reason why I still "whine" in here is that I've paid for it and I find it amusing as an activity. ------------------------------------------------- Play with the best - die like the rest starwreck.com - support the cause :) |

Originally by: Myra2007 This is the future of this game:
"However, as a subscription based golden goose, EVE needs to incorporate the virtual goods sales model to allow for further revenue û revenue to fund our other titles, revenue for its developer: you."
And this is what you mean to CCP.
My very favorite part of this is using the tale of the Golden Goose as an unironic argument in favor of getting more money out of the players for the same services.
Fairy Tale FAIL.

CCP is simply out to make as much money as possible. In order to make the most money out of the game, they try to get you hooked, get you addicted. Then they bilk you for everything you are worth in time and money, it's the same game casinos play.

Don't worry, the ad will be once. Then the colors and text will change and its a new ad! Heck, automate the color background change and you have new one-time only ads!
But wait there's more, they will also send out very helpful articles to your email informing you of NEX. These emails will send you to the very helpful site of evepedia where the evepedia article will detail how to get NEX, what is NEX, what can you buy with NEX, etc. (Sorta what they did with PLEX). Speaking of PLEX, I bet the NEX will link to PLEX which will link to profit sites

This all applies in my case.
Eve's unique culture and member base is also the reason why think CCP will not be successful with the model they are currently flirting with. Cutting your unique selling points and adapting to the pressure they apparently feel from the mainstream - will make you lose your identity and transform you into one of many.

but at least the original style of this was Internet Spaceships... and the devs had a half a brain...
I remember in my early days hearing of the exploits of GHSC, MoO (hey, maybe they were on to something...), BoB, and others... wishing that some day, I could be in a group like that.
To bad CCP killed the sandbox.

For some reason when you decide not to use the biggest font known to mankind, I actually read your posts.
Please, start using big letters again so I know what to skip. Is it only 111 days now?

You can look at the GHSC episode as a preview of what CCP wants to do with your RL Dollahz. --------------------- Countdown to sub running out: 9 |

I hope this is just about an excitable guy in marketing sharing their great ideas to create revenue. Every big company has them. Those drawing the big pay cheques then knock the edges of the ideas off and smooth the brighter thinking into potential policy.
It makes sense to seek new revenue streams for the game and innovation really isn't a bad thing and should be encouraged.
The danger in the thinking that this "memo" espouses and the early signs of it's similarity to the direction of travel evidenced by Incarna is that we are moving away from the sandbox.
Once you start allowing people to pay for priviledge and power in the game you have fundamentally changed it's appeal and the risk and reward balance. It's OK to allow meta gaming and its always been there, RMT goes beyond the pale and the thought that RMT could pay for power and space would sound like a death knell across New Eden.
Leave vanity purchases in. Anything that does not affect gameplay can be paid for, make that your mantra and let loose the innovative minds of the CCP team. You want an orange ship, well it'll cost you, you can have a monocle too if you'd like and gunless luxury yacht that everyone knows cost you a small fortune.
Dust is new, Dust is the place to go beyond the sandbox but don't kill your cash cow. If that memo is true then you have a lot of persuading to do and marketing to bring in the people who will pay for it's ideas, if it isn't then you have a lot of explaining to do to calm people down.

yeah there is no more doubt that its real, just what to do about it...
People seem to fall into a few camps:
1)don't care--carry on 2)unsub but waiting to see what CCP says 3)those unsubbed waiting to microwave their toons 4)the silent many who have already left
I'm in camp 2 atm :/

Not even VALVE are selling game changing items.
They still sit behind that "vanity" line.
THEY KNOW THE DANGER.
Valve is smart, valve is rich because they are smart.

Edited by: XIRUSPHERE on 23/06/2011 22:32:30 Thread will be ignored till it's past 100 pages if even then. Dev's and mods are in ninja mode till patch tuesday working their asses off to try to push forth some more fluff that will distract your average player.
Then we might see some post along the lines of " I work so hard for you bebe, why don't you luff me ".
