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.
I'm very surprised to hear that the CCP PR & Communications Director was not involved/consulted on a very sensitive and controversial newsletter. It does not matter if these are personal opinions to get a discussion started, the fact that it's on the table and being discussed proves that it's being considered. The part that really got me going was that you recently nerfed ship fittings, with the intention of charging RL $ for it later (in the newsletter).
If you were not going down this route, who in his right mind would call a NEWSLETTER for GREED IS GOOD and place Gordon Gekko on the frontpage.

"Eurogamer: Business models in MMOs are changing. Are there any plans to use micro-transactions in EVE to allow people to re-map their skills?"
"Torfi Frans Olafsson: Yeah, we are looking at introducing virtual goods within the game, but we feel those things should be vanity items rather than those that give you a clear benefit over other players in-game. /snip"

Originally by: Sister Bliss
Firstly, stop thinking this is a small issue associated with Aurum, MT, Captains Quarters and such. While each of those topics is indeed an issue to be debated in their own right, the broader issue is much larger and dwarfs these entirely.
As a long term paying customer, I have seen virtually no progress towards addressing key broken mechanics and unfinshed expansions over the past 2 years! Instead we continue to pay for low value, peripheral expansions that do nothing significant to enhance the game, and only adds more clutter and unfinished content.
All of these concerns were raised by the playerbase in the 18 months thread fiasco if not before then in many cases. Recently you've announced you are just starting to look at 0.0 and other gameplay aspects. So if we look at this as an example, and with your delivery record, I would be surprised to see any meaningful expansion to Eve within the next 1.5 years that goes anywhere near addressing player expectations.
In total, this represents an almost 4 year gap between you listening to and responding to your customers comments and feedback. 4 YEARS!
FOUR YEARS!
It's clear that your focus is on bringing in new players, but without fixing the core mechanics which keeps players here long term, you're just treading water. The vision and creativity which we saw and belived in years ago has long since faded and died. Today even the smallest of fixes is met with cheer given how low everyones expecations have settled (this alone should make you very concerned).
As an example, you could fix the Technetium issue over a single weekend if you actually got off your ass instead of ****ing about discussing how to finance other titles and spending years working on this Incarna disgrace. Get your ****ing priorities straight.
re the 18-months thread fiasco: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1534027&page=1#1
Quote:
Exactly a year ago CCP announced that development of EVE was on hold for 18 months and that all ressources were thrown at Incarna/Dust development. http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1354510
After much discussion following CCP Zulus Dev Blog, the Executive Producer stepped in and explained that it was all a misunderstanding - there would of course be new developments of EVE in parallel with Incarna/Dust development. The community was happy bunnies and went back to flying spaceships.
The new features delivered in the last year was:
Incursion, winter 2010
- Incursions
- Noctis ship
- Learning skills removal
- New player portraits
(http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1530737)
- and some good stuff (almost fixed rockets) from team BFF based on CSM input (Trebor and the "1000 papercuts" if I recall correctly).
There should be 6 months left of the 18 months, before focus is once again on the core game (the spaceship part). Six months to develop the actual station with the planned features (mini-games, shops etc.). I think it will take much, much longer before we see any serious gameplay content being added to EVE.
TL;DR when do you think Incarna will be in a "finished" enough state, so CCP can focus on the core game (the spaceship part)

A humble suggestion to my fellow pitchfork-wielding peasants:
There are a lot of old timers coming out of the woodwork and posting their opinions and there are some very good posts in here that we want CCP management to read - spamming in this thread is counter productive.

Unsubscribing is obviously not working since we haven't had a serious response from CCP C-Level yet. Since it's too easy to re-subscribe and we have too much time invested it's time to start biomassing en masse.

Given my position as a CSM, it would not be appropriate for me to advocate that my fellow players take a particular action.
Dude - It's time to man up son. I see your position within the CSM is more important then the players who you represent and even voted for you. You can GTFO. Don't count on a re-election next time after not having the balls to stand up for something.
I have a responsibility as your representative to act on your behalf, and in your best interests. That means keeping calm, being diplomatic in public, and brutally honest in private.
You may rest assured that I have been spending 7-10 hours a day recently on CSM issues, because I love the game and what is happening to it deeply disturbs me. As I said before, actions speak louder than words, and I hope that when the next election comes around, those of my actions that become public will speak for themselves.
I honestly think that working with the CSM should be a very attractive option for CCP at the moment. Thanks for your efforts and good luck working with both sides to resolve this mess.

Please stop calling for CSM, and asking CCP about it
if you keep asking that, they (CCP) will do that, take the shortest/easyest route and comunicate just with CSM.
Sorry CSM dudes, i didn't vote for any of you (like what 70% of eve players?)and yet find your role important, BUT not now, now is too late..
CCP has to answer the WHOLE playerbase not just some restricted (both in numbers AND in what they can tell) group of people, and tbh they have to answer fast.
PR (in this case dmg control) works fine when used in the right moment, that moment is almost over
I will not. You might not appreciate the CSM or feel that they have helped you in the past, but since we are just spamming a very important thread, I have more confidence in the CSM than us spamming useless drivel to get attention (excluding the +500 very good posts here)

FRIENDS! There is a reason for this horrible incident and lack of communication and salesmanship.
CCP Hiring New Chief Marketing Officer
Someone should apply since CSM is obviously bull**** and kill the lies from within.
Was there a Chief Marketing Officer before? Normally Sales & Marketing reports to the CFO - this just proves that CCP new business plan is already being implemented ... or that they realised the current CFO is an incompetent money grabbing coward.

So I was on massively and they had a link to the now infamous newsletter, which I thought I had already read on evenews24.
But it said something about "missing pages". This peaked my interest so I downloaded it to compare to the first one. There are actually 20 pages in total in the original. It's pretty much the same thing, it appears the pages themselves were not edited, but pages were removed which dropped the context of the remaining pages. So while I'm still upset at those individuals my anger towards CCP as a whole has diminished.
The most notable line is:
DISCLAIMER: The views put forward in this magazine do not reflect general CCP company policies or decisions and are strictly individual opinions, written by CCPers or about CCPers who feel strongly about these issues. This is confidential internal information. Please respect that every company has its trade secrets and that you are privy to those at CCP.
Though it still upsets me that certain individuals at CCP think as outlined in the PDF, I do feel a little better with that simple paragraph. It definitely opens the door for them to fix it, where before I didn't see a chance in hell of that happening.
Compare them for yourself:
EVENews24.com Version
Original Version
The tldr difference is basically this is just asking people within CCP their opinions on the matter and doesn't actually represent any actual plans. I still want confirmation in writing and signed by the CEO himself before I believe anything that CCP says, but I'm a bit less ragequit-y now.
While this doesn't restore my trust/faith in CCP, it damages what little I had to start with in evenews24. Ok, well, I never actually trusted evenews24 at all, but now I definitely won't ever trust them :P
you could have saved some time by just reading the links in the second post in this thread - CCP Pann has confirmed the newsletter. FFS browse a little before posting.

The newsletter is real, the one most of us seen (the one on evenews24) was edited. The one on massively (originally hosted by megaupload, ew, now mirrored by me and linked in my reply) was edited. Pages were removed taking the remaining pages out of context. Read moar.
The disclaimer is mentioned in multiple threads - yesterdays news. Make up your own mind.

It's not a matter of representing official policy or not. The fact that it's on the table and communicated in a NEWSLETTER proves that it is indeed the route CCP is going. They nerfed fittings recently and in the newsletter they mention charging RL$ for more fittings. There are multiple posts describing this better than mine - so read moar.

Then why are there two sides to the debate in the newsletter then?... If it was cannon, why pray tell, are they still in discussion?
I have no idea - the Director of PR & Communications was not involved with this, maybe thats the reason

I had to make my first real post in this thread and just add my voice/support to the masses eventhough everything has already been said probably. I completely agree with the general sentiment of disgust about the apparent focus and future vision of CCP on MTs.
Originally by: Adam Reed
A note of caution: in the newsletter, the main EVE-affecting section was obviously written up as a 'For' and 'Against', with Touborg on one side in favour of non-vanity MTs, and Turbefield on the other against them. While I agree it's hugely dissatisfying to think they're actually considering it, there's little point in crucifying all of CCP because one guy was asked to write the 'For' side of an argument in a newsletter - to essentially simply state his own personal opinion.
If they come out and say they want to introduce it, fine, I quit too. But if they come out and say it's just one guy's opinion and there are no plans to implement it, don't be in any way surprised.
That's the whole point, it isn't just the innocent "for the sake of argument" pro-con discussion. Read the whole newsletter thoroughly, it's pretty obvious where they want to go with this. They even say it literally, allow me to quote p.11; "On the opposite end of the scale to vanity items or performance based items such as weapons. They are consumed through gameplay,..." "Selling them though, is highly controversial. We are planning on doing so." Can it be more clear?
Not only does it go against what was said/promised before, the predominant view in there is that they want to take these M(i/a)cro-transactions to a whole new level, one which inevitably (no matter how it'll be implemented) contradicts what Eve is all about.
well said

Hilmar is running out of meatshields to send to the front. Valerie did it because it's in her job description, CCP BDO just got caught on bad timing and CCP ZULU is just a rztarded moron, so he had no idea what he was doing. Zinfandel is molesting children somewhere and Soundwave is probably ripping off some of his mates or family.

what it all boils down to for me is ethics. CCP Zulu, CCP Penn (excused) and others tells us that they are ready to answer questions. CEO's internal memo shows that it's just BS. They tell us it's vanity items only, but at the same time they are preparing to implement full-blown P2W (e.g. nerfing ship fittings).
I don't give money to unethical companies, so that makes the decision easy

For you voiceless scrubs at CCP better update your resume and get them out before the rush.
How to Fill Out a Resume
A reverse chronological resume is the most commonly used format, and it is outlined below. When thinking about how to fill out a resume, be sure you include all your education and job experience, but do not exaggerate your expertise or training.
# 1 Place your contact information at the top of the page. Include your name, daytime and evening phone numbers, current address and email address. If you are going to be changing residences during your job search, split your contact information into two columns and specify which address is applicable for what dates. When you fill out a resume, contact information is very important.
# 2 Give job or career objective, showing what position you're applying for and your long-term career goal. For example, a long-term goal might be that you want to move into a managerial position.
# 3 Give your education or job experience next, depending on which is more impressive. A recent graduate should list education first, then job experience. But someone with extensive relevant job experience should place that first when filling out a resume.
# 4 Include the name of the school you attended, its location and the degree earned when you fill out a resume. Schools should be listed with the most recent attendance first, and include all applicable degrees.
# 5 Order your job experience with the most recent position first, then work backward. If your resume extends to two pages, omit jobs that are not relevant to the position you're applying for. However, John M. Lannon, in his "Technical Communication," recommends you use two pages when you fill out a resume, if a one-page format looks like there's too much information on it. Include the employer's name, the company location, the dates you worked for the company and a brief description of your duties.
# 6 Include hobbies, skills and memberships only if they are applicable to the position you are applying for, such as a skill for your position or activities that provided leadership experience.
Tips- #Use a resume template to help you get a feel for what resumes should look like. You can always edit the template later if you don't like it and craft your own resume.
#You will probably have several drafts of your resume before you have a good copy.
#Have a career counselor proofread your resume to offer tips on how to improve it.
Resume = CV
I would recommend using a competency based CV (i.e. listing competencies first) since this will take focus away from your latest job experience i.e. CCP

Dear players,
how tarded are you?
We told you that we can&t tell you what is going on behind the scenes as you already freaked out for some monocles.
Of course we had plans to sell anything via MT starting with shiny ships and ending with your corpses.
So stop being stupid and stop asking over and over again if we plan to do so.
It was obvious from the very beginning of NeX.
What do you think where we get all the money from for coding stuff that doesn&t work and nobody ever asked for (=incarna)?
What do you think who is paying Dust?
We made a big hype about walking on station. Now you got your ****ty looking avatar walking in his prison cabin so better stfu and praise us for being pro.
At least do so once your computer has cooled down to a temperature lesser then that of nuclear fusion.
Would you now consider to stfu, play the game that is a bit screwed and continue to give us your money?
And as our glorious leader told in this not so leaked mail:
WE SIMPLY DON&T CARE ABOUT YOU. WE ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS WE ARE ONLY FRIEND TO YOUR ****ING CREDIT CARD. GET IT.
Sincerely
CCP
Probably this kinda stuff will appear in the next Fearless magazine.
Hilmar is copy/pasting like crazy now ... it is spot on, it will just be packed in a lot of marketing mumbo-jumbo

The Jita protest has been scuppered, apparently. According to people in the Help channel, CCP has closed Jita for the duration. I don't know if that's true or whether it's just automatic server balancing, but it looks kinda bad regardless.

History repeats itself: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1354510&page=57#1682
SCRUM: "deliver value early and often"
"If there is a long-term cunning plan in the works for the person/avatar stuff, then it would still be "intangible benefits" in the business case. However, if they have the cash and the stomach for it - and that's where they want to go - then that's the business case.
btw: please fix my rockets"
TL;DR I guess there was a cunning plan, but question is still the same as a year ago: do they have the cash and the stomach?

I like the sig. Sociopaths ruin workplaces. This is what Zulu and the others who are humans had to deal with.
He introduced the metric "Total Cost of A$$HOLES" - they should really estimate this amount and include it in budgets - it's important shareholder information. Zinfandel alone must cost them at least a million bucks a year.

They have shown that they are rather flexible on ethics, but how far would they go? Since we have so many blissfully ignorant players (i.e. perfect customer) the list of our email adresses must be worth a few bucks ... hmmm, better check Icelandic Data Protection Act.

Think of the CSM as a baby passifier to keep the customers entertained with the illusion of them being important, as their purpose is to fund CCP's WoW, called WoD.
That's how CCP sees them, that is how I see them. It is called REALITY.
Eve is that child in the family that will always get 2nd attention to their prize baby, WoD. Eve is reaching its lifespan and they are going to jump to WoD and then stick Eve on life support, but one can argue Eve is on life support already. It is obvious, non commitment to features, just enough to get the funding in place (Incarna is a Trojan Horse for that) then once that is in, that it is purpose. Don't expect much more features outside of that track for Eve in future.
Think of Incarna as a TROLLEY DASH around the mall in a competition to get the highest revenue. It's called a BOOST. You go for the BIG ONE, thieves use it in stores, called a BOOSTER BAG, and hit the store HARD, not one or 2 items in the pockets, a HUGE BLOODY METAL TINFOIL BAG and BOOST IT, one massive HIT.
Eve is not CCP's premium product, World of Darkness will be their premium product in their portfolio. Eve is simply a financial tool to get there. Incarna the vehicle for a revenue BOOST. Eve is eight years old, taht is ancient, competitors are comming out, newer. Eve will get more expensive to play, by stealth. Eve is a test bed for Carbon and MT for their premium products in the pipeline.
The reason for all this rage now, is because customers (players) are only NOW starting to REALISE THIS. Some have been saying this for years, they where bashed. Well they were right.
Jesus this is painful but I think I actually agree with this  .
it's difficult to disagree
welcome back Miilla - can't believe I'm saying this - but we actually missed you. The ONE question keeps getting drowned by players with concerns

A little odd, you don't seem to be too full-on.
For now forums are pretty much on "leave them alone" mode until they ban us all to keep complaints down.
Unless CSM convinces them they need every last vocal player they can find.
I deserved that one - it was a really rude post on page 1 of the first Zulu blog. CCP Zulu: I know you guys are not reading this, but please accept my sincerest apology. To quote your latest blog <couldn't be assed to get the link> the emotions are running high on our end as well. It was uncalled for and I'm deeply embarrased about the posting.

While we have deflected a lot of heat off "innocent" people.

Ok guys.. It is time to start paying attention to other forum sections then this one....
Here is an example of what is going on in the Assembley Hall:
"- Limited use items like the Cerebral Accelerator, which can be used to increase hourly SP gain for a limited duration and speed up skill training, rather than replace it with direct injection of skills/SP. Not strictly limited to new players, but with a time limit on use."
Assembly hall Thread
That knucklehead actually wants SP for $$$.....
Vandrion: sry, I have already voted in T'Ambers thread. No MT at all, no nex store, nothing, zip ... CCP will push ahead with P2W if we open the door - might not be this mgmt team, but imagine what the new CEO/CFO/CMO will think: we have a virtual goods store in EVE? Cool beans, my daughter is asking for my CC alll the time to pay for Farmville, perhaps there is a revenue stream here we can explore some more.

I guess they served their purpose.
yup - I remember the WikiLeaks/Bradley Mannon situation ... I laughed my ass off when AMEX, AMAZON etc. shut down

hey I havent seen the question for a few pages here, focus people, focus!
CCP: Do you plan to add MT items that give an in game advantage?
[ ] YES, definately
[ ] NO, never.
please complete and return asap.
thanks for that - I must admit that I lost focus there for a while. Internet Spaceships are serious business and I was fiddling around with RL bullcrap

UPDATE: Still loving the hell out of Incarna, though the NeX store icon keeps bullying me and taking my lunch money. Sometimes I have to you know, just IGNORE it and get on about my business.
p.s. - CCP please have my future babies, thanks.
Did anyone reply to you Kal Aith? anyway, it's something we all have in common

Vandrion: that sums it up nicely
btw, replied to you earlier - I have already voted for T'Ambers thread: NO MT, NO NeX, nothing, zip, nada - they will get tempted (or the next mgmt team will) so don't open the door.

Weird that CCP employees are chatting away on Twitter, but they can't come and talk to us. Seems like there is a strong network between some old EVE players and CCP employees - we all pay the same subscription fee, are we not entitled to the same information?
Screw you CCP, you are really a mickey-mouse company

This is from PocketGamer but I guess the concept is the same
"Here at XMG, approximately two-thirds of our revenue now comes from virtual goods, up from only 10 percent a year ago`The reason is simple { selling virtual goods means that a small enthusiastic user base can carry a gameFs economics.v

"a small enthusiastic group of players can support a games economics" (paraphrasing - can't find the linky where the quote was)

- Playing with his dog doll ? he's recieve one form last patch
- Watching ponyz anime?
- Banned from forum/game (and nobody gonna make a "free miilia thread")
- Who care ?
and maybe it's time to stop ask whatever and wait till ccp met csm
PS: nothing personnal towards you in my answer
Hi Kendra - please quote me in full, put a /snip in or don't - thank you
I would have agreed with you around page 150 - a solid wall of text from concerned customers are more important than spamming, trolling and going for page views and posts. However, what have impressed me the most is the number of players coming into this thread and posting "I don't normally post on the forums, but .... " or "My first and last post here ....". These very important contribution have been quoted - and kept alive - by Constantinus and Miilli with a perserverenace and dedication you can only get from EVE Pilots. Remember, Internet spaceships are serious business.

My apology as well - should have responded to your edit comment. It's all cool beans, no offence taken at all. Check around page 100 for offence, thats x-rated if the mods haven't cleaned it up yet :)
