Originally by: CCP Pann Hi, everyone
Some of you who have been around for a while may remember me. I was the original community manager for EVE. These days, I oversee the PR and Community teams. While most of what I do happens behind the curtains, I am still aware of whatÆs going on front and center. I would be lying if I said that whatÆs happening now didnÆt make me sad, but IÆm not here to ask for your sympathy. To be perfectly honest, IÆm here to buy time while we try to sort things out. No sense in lying about it so I'll call a spade a spade.
ItÆs clear that many of you are <understatement alert> angry </alert>. ThereÆs a lot happening, things are changing quickly and we havenÆt been as forthcoming as you were used to in the past. IÆm willing to step out front and take a lot of heat for that since I was the one who made the decision to hold off on responding for a while to see if things cooled down once the new wore off. I was wrong to do that and I apologize. We should have said something much sooner. We should have done more to address your concerns and be forthcoming, even if we werenÆt going to be able to immediately give you all of the answers you were looking for or the answer your questions in ways that will instantly turn those frowns upside down. To be even more candid, I cannot answer all of your questions, either, but I am working with the people who can to start getting those answers for you. Again, I know weÆre doing this past the expiration date of your patience but I hope youÆll bear with me. I know that, with very few exceptions, most of you donÆt know me from Adam. I havenÆt earned your trust or respect; therefore I have no right to ask anything of you û but I am going to try, anyway. Can I please count on at least some of you to help bring the pitchforks and torches down a few notches?
Like I said, I wonÆt be able to answer all of your questions tonight, but I promise weÆll start getting some info out tomorrow. As I see it, the chief complaint is regarding the high cost of goods in the Nobel Market. Second, many people are unhappy about the CaptainÆs Quarters. Third, there are some performance issues with Incarna. I would appreciate it if you would confirm my observations or tell me what IÆm missing, but I do ask that you do it in a productive way. I will remove posts without prejudice if they are counterproductive to the conversation I hope to have with you.
If youÆve read this much, thanks for staying with me. If you have something to say, IÆd like very much to hear it.
Humbly yours, ~P~
Awesome, what about This? -

Originally by: CCP Pann The newsletter was not fake. I guess this is how it feels when someone reads your diary, something you hadn't intended anyone else to see. Not to deflect the heat but to explain why what I'm about to say, I wasn't involved with writing it. The only reason I mention that is because I am not going to presume to know the minds of the people who did have comments in there. I am not going to throw people I love under the bus or to the lions or whatever. I can't/won't answer questions about what they said or why they said it.
Our newsletters are written as a means to bring about discussion (that sometimes can even become heated debate) among our coworkers. That's really all I can say about it. I am not a game designer. I'm a mouthpiece. I'll admit it. By the time I get involved, the decisions have been made. Not making excuses for myself, just explaining.
Thank you for coming forward with the truth on this issue. Now lets see what will be done about this... -

Bring back the Cruel, Merciless, cookie-taking-away Sandbox. Eve is the game that takes your cookie away from you, NOT the game that sells cookies for RL currency.
This. So much this!
All of this.. Eve was always about taking your cookie.. What happened to those days? -

Do you have any definitive idea of the future of Aurum?
Aurum is here to stay. The cycle here isn't changing soon.
...Something tells me we are not going to go along with this. -

Edited by: Deamos on 24/06/2011 11:41:54 I just can't help but notice some disturbing connections...
CCP hooks up with Nvidia w/ Carbon tech -> Eve's once great performance becomes rubbish, requiring players to get new Video Cards CCP hooks up with Sony on Dust -> Microtransactions become a factor in the Eve Universe
edit: Wow... I was first on page 100! Woot -

CCP,
Here is a list of ways to improve this situation:
NeX: Lower Prices, Keep it Vanity.. I see a single round of ammo on the NeX, I walk
Incarna Performance: This needs to be tweaked. How about you give us our old hangar back. A ton of people have recommended that it goes Space <-> Docked <-> CQ. I will take it one step further and say that the Neocomm needs to be disabled in CQ. Keep true to the "There are some things that can only be done off the grid"
Greed is Good: You have some splaining to do....
Overall Incarna: We want all the CQs, no MT for real items, and content...real content. What happened to new ships and new regions? What happened to the Jove? I like Incarna, but it does need some work. -

Originally by: Zero GodOfDestruction What happened to the live stream of the jita protest? I used the link i had before and now it is a recorded 2hr video. Did ccp gag the person streaming it?
I wasn't gagged. I shut it down after things seemed to settle down in Jita.
Plus, college picks back up for me tomorrow so I would not be able to admin it very well during the week. You are more than welcome to pick up where I left of though.
Check out Xsplit Broadcaster. Thats what I used to push it out.
Cheers man! Was a blast! -

I would, but i cannot run eve, that stream was my one of my last lifelines to eve. I understand, life goes on, and i will still be following the threads, but i hope someone could pick it up. Thanks for foloowing it for as long as you did, It was greatly appreciated.
I am sure someone will. I felt totally humbled by how many people popped their head in. I know CCP Fallout had seen it. We had several members of the CSM come by. We also had some Eve Radio DJs.
All in all, I think the numbers were somewhere around 90k viewers for the 3 days. The highest peak we had was 2k viewers on Friday. Completely amazing stuff. I hope to see everyone out and about in Eve (as long as CCP doesn't screw this one up)
My accounts will stay unsubbed until I hear good news from the CSM.

I'm waiting for santa.
You think CCP will give the CSM the powers to change their last 3 years of revenue planning?
Well, if that becomes the case then no big to me. The accounts will stay unsubbed. I've played Eve for 8 years... In the ending, I think I've gotten my fun out of it. -
