He's the head community manager at CCP and has been for years. His primary job is to communicate the player base about the game, including what type of game CCP is developing. You must not think very highly of CCP if you think they hired some renegade who does not represent the corporate views of CCP and the views of the lead developers of this game. You can think anything you want. That doesn't change the reality of the situation. If you don't like what CCP is selling, then go somewhere else. Thankfully, there is no shortage of gaming companies these days, developing all sorts of types of games. You are not starved for alternatives. just cancelled all my accounts. feels so good! thanks for linking the CCP Falcon statement.. I kind of alluded to it in my reason for leaving: ".. CCP refuses to balance HISEC CCP clearly favors the gankers & griefers Screw CCP Falcon and his "dark, gritty and unsafe anywhere" universe.. He should realize he's a developer, NOT a player .."
In December 2007 I clicked on an ad for this weird sounding game. I read a bit about it, and it sounded awfully much like the game which ate my youth GÇô Elite Frontier. Sometimes I jolt over the fact that IGÇÖve played this game for nine years. IGÇÖve never done that. I lasted, I think, two in World of Warcraft. I lasted three months in SWG. Yet, here I am, nine years later.
Why did I stay? Because Eve isnGÇÖt like World of Warcraft. Eve isnGÇÖt quite like anything else out there. Oh, IGÇÖll complain and moan about stupid things in the game, but itGÇÖs a complaint that comes from a love of the game. A love of the atmosphere of the game. A love ofGǪ
Sometimes IGÇÖve tried to rationalise why I love this game, and it always comes back to one thing. Unlike World of Warcraft, unlike Star Wars Galaxies, or Elder Scrolls, Playing Eve is not playing against Eve. Know what I mean? Eve is playing against other humans. Eve is not playing against the system, or the mechanics, or the environment. Playing Eve is to play against the multitudes of humans that dwell inside the blocks of pixels on my screen.
Why do some people not like Eve? I think they fail to grasp this. They expect to play against an algorithm, an AI, an NPC, or an environment. They come to the game expecting to play against the system. But doing that is terrible. The NPCs and the PVE is just a means to an end: to get a fixed contact point with other humans. Either through in-game interpersonal alliances or enmities, or through cooperative play. If that doesn't happen, then Eve is dry and boring and pointless.
So, by all means leave. If the essence of what IGÇÖve described in these paragraph changesGǪ If Eve becomes a game played against the system, rather than the humans, then IGÇÖm most likely out of here. And through all the contacts, friendships, conflicts, and drama IGÇÖve gone through during these last nine years, I can say with relative certainty despite it being anecdotal that most players are like me. TheyGÇÖre not like you.
Good bye. Hope you find a game better suited for you.
