CCP devs/employees are leaving CCP at an alarming rate! Some of the oldest and most popular devs have gone over to riot games, or simply just moved on.
Combine this with no future plans from CCP about Eve even being announced, failure to fix issues that have lasted for years, and CCP's recent "Cashout" policy of allowing everything for plex, and first dual, then triple char training.
What does this add up to?
Eve is a sinking boat, the rats are running, and those that are left are grabbing for whatever they can before the ship goes down.
So the question is: How long before CCP announces the closure of the Eve online server? |

Future plans/projects by CCP have been informed to the CSM, but not to us since they are still under NDA (read the minutes of the last meeting).
As for the rest - rumors. In before the lock. |

So CSM minutes said "secret project" that means nothing, shutting down could be the secret.
How are they rumors when the devs in question confirmed it on their twitter? |

If you can't be arsed to keep up with current events, don't post in a thread about them. Navigator was the most recent BTW. |

And if you can't be arsed to keep up with reality, developers leave companies all the time.
I will say this for Riot though, their DOTA clone is probably the best half-eaten banana available. |

Do you know if it is for awoxing or trying to get director level spies? can someone make a youtube video of the plan in action so we can watch afterwards.

This information is stunning and Previously UnknownGäó to us.
And just look at all the deep industry insider information we're getting in this thread. EA... Riot... you guys should start your own version of People magazine, only instead of celebrities and politicians, you could fill it with articles about people no one gives a **** about. I predict great success. |

Provided how's the winter up there in Iceland, and as Riot Games is at Santa Monica of all places, you bet that salary is a relative issue. Further, CCP always has paid below standard salaries, which they compensate with things like the free cantina, something worthy in a place where food is expensive.

People seem to think whatever game they're playing at the moment belongs to them, as do the people who develop and promote said game. Our troll OP has resurrected a very old and successful trolling format here, which leverages our desire for the status quo to never change. People are individuals, dude. The change jobs. They go elsewhere.
No one is going to be CCP Whatever for the rest of their lives. |

I understand people aren't going to like this topic, but do you really have to launch personal attacks? Can't anyone discuss anything on these forums with out being called a troll?
Because I said any of that?
I said devs are leaving at a faster and faster rate, as shown by the numbers.
Lots of high profile devs leaving in the last 6 months.

"Like rats..."
Catchy, if a bit too heavy. Go lighter next time, and you'll get more than 0/10. Oh, and the "when will they shut down the server?" line, that was a dead giveaway too. You need to employ more subtlety. |
