Well, we tend to think they're not shutting the buy/sell forums just yet because of us having done it, right?
Good point.

This whole thing keeps annoying me. Its been a day now and I still get angry when reading how this was handled. It wouldnt surprise me if there was 0 communication with ISD at all prior to this. Just a "thanks and bye" with no reason given.
Of course I dont know this because nobody has the guts to tell it like it was.
Thanks to kieron for answering the questions in the first post though. Thats at least something.
Jim,
I'm in the same boat as you, I'm a fan boi of this game/company but with the things that have happend recently I do feel CCP are hinding something in the background on this desition
As I stated in another thread if CCP keep hiding things and not being honest to there customer people WILL start leaving this game. (and some have already)

I actualy forgot, shame on me, to say a huge thank you into the direction of the RP'ers that populate the summits and the Library.
I, and my team enjoyed the good storys, the war reports, the rising tensions between factions. You guys are populating EvE and make her breath, please just dont stop.
/me bows.

Well... itĘs been fun.
EVE has been a huge part of my life ever since I signed up for my 14 day trial over two years ago. As the game began to wind down for me I heard about ISD and the plans for factional warfare on the horizon. I just knew I had to get in on that.
So after months of waiting on paperwork to be approved, and weeks of learning the ins and outs of being an event actor through our training program, It was actually a year ago this Monday, August 20th that I took part in my very first event.
It was a small role with very little acting involved, but through the player support in that event my producer was able to turn it into a full blown arc culminating in the testing of an experimental jump drive that went oh so wrong, scattering the test pilots to the ends of the universe.
I probably would never have stuck with EVE as long as I have if it wasn't for the sheer excitement of the events and kooky and always unpredictable things players did which helped us drive them forward.
So rather than cry and whine about not being able to do events in an official capacity anymore, I would first and foremost like to thank youthe players.
Events could not (and sometimes didn't) happen without you all. Every time I got online an hour in advance to get briefed on the characters and their motivations for the upcoming event, I would find myself with a stupid grin plastered on my face wondering what you would throw our way next.
Once again, thanks to all the players who participated in our events. It's been great flying with you (and even sometimes against you). Its you all that make the game what it is, not us. I hope many of you will take it on yourselves to try and enrich the universe with enjoyable events in our absence.
Oh darn... I don't have a sig. Might as well hijack one.

Reading all the comments here made me realise something. I like you all to remember that it was not just Aurora, nore just CRC or any other ISD department that made it all happen.
The Roleplay in EVE is done by YOU! We just helped a bit here and there. Yes, we did have a blast providing stories to interact with, but in the end it was you who did the roleplay.
So i wonder, why stop? Ok, we will not be around anymore to present you our crazy idea's and such, but you could do it yourself.
I hereby call to the entire playerbase who care for Roleplay to keep going. Spam the forums with RP stories, create characters who just spam local with tales and stories and bring EVE to life! It would honour us all the most, if the RP continues... please, do not stop the roleplay.

well written stuff
You do realize you've said only: CCP, you suck, I know better, you don't know what you've done, and I do?
Mind giving CCP and us some examples? I can't read minds and I don't think CCP can either.
Clearly you're able to express yourself eloquently; perhaps this time you could express yourself evidentially?
cheers
To what end and to who's benefit? Spending 10 minutes on two forum posts (now 3 for 10.5) is one thing, but I'm not wasting a large chunk of my time writing up something long and drawn out that will likely just fall on deaf ears. Besides, I have provided them clearly with a couple of illustrations of issues through other correspondence. Their problems, however, aren't going to be resolved in a couple of forum posts.
Good lord, then why did you bother to post on a public forum with such verbiage, rather than just saying "about time;good riddance"?
Odd to say the least.
Anyways, kudos again to the Mods. You gave your time for free to a game you loved. 'Grats.

Many thanks for all the time the volunteers have put into the game since I started, but, for the love of god, please come back already! have you read CAOD this evening?
Dev's, how about you introduce a one new thread per day, and ONE post per thread per day limit on all of us.. it might make people think about what and when they will post.

I will remember fondly my first Aurora event I saw, where 2 "odd coloured text players" were battling it out both in local and with each other. Had a blast seeing all the t2 stuff I couldn't use just yet sitting it those wrecks, and I managed to scoop some too.
Tried to participate in the Caldari subversives' "overthrow the government" plot line, but after a single event, never heard anything else from the story arc after an aborted attempt to kill a Caldari navy carrier. I'm hoping this isn't the end of such player involvement.
I may have had my beef with some of the corporate level decisions made by CCP in the past, but the work that ISD did to both enlighten players and highlight the neat aspects of this game was one of the better things that were done to enrich the game atmosphere. My salute to ISD on many jobs well done.
Question: Since so many volunteers are being put on hiatus/moved around, does this mean the volunteer positions will be closed for the near future?

According to our IRC channel, half of us are either SirMolle, Seleene, Remedial or all three at the same time. I think I saw four Dark Shikaris, too.
My main of course is Kieron, which means that I just fired myself. Bet you didn't see that one coming, eh?

You mean you didn't you know we are all the very highest ranking BoB-haxed-alliance-devs with tinfoil penetrating mind control?
Honestly though, we all like to keep our mains completely seperate from anything ISD related. I suspect that'll continue to be that way.
Next time you see someone talking in local in character... maybe play along with it. Its up to the masses now if you want events, We gotta keep the game interesting somehow ya know? Oh darn... I don't have a sig. Might as well hijack one.

Dude... I wouldn't even joke about stuff like that. After all thats gone down with ISD, there are some extremely bitter eve folk, and what you may say in jest many players are still very angry and distrustful about. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if past shenanigans is the reason that aurora is being nuked.

Edited by: EA Dantac on 23/08/2007 13:03:25 In the time I've been part of Aurora I've had an amazing time helping with many events that I have thoroughly enjoyed. Much <3 and thanks to the producers, senior producers and leads for making it happen and to actors and all for everything.
Not to forget, thankyou to you guys who we ran events for. You made it all worthwhile, even if you don't know the difference between teal and blue :) Thankyou to each and every single person who participated in an event. They were for you guys, and it was a pleasure to be part of it.
As many of the guys and gals I've had the pleasure of working with have already said, do not let RP die. Please! As players we must and we will keep it going. It is part of Eve and part of what makes this game what it is. Don't let it die!
Oh, and GALEN FOR EMPEROR!

Obviously no one outside of ISD knows exactly how all this went down or how it was presented to them, but I REALLY hope CCP has not alienated their volunteers. When people care so much to put up with so much **** like the mods/ISD team do, ****ting all over them would be a sign of the worst kind of corporate apathy. That being said, something obviously needed to change with the forums, as they are completely out of control lately. So I hope whatever ends up happening makes this a better place to hang out, or more and more people will just find other communities in which to discuss eve.

Well thanks to the volunteers for all the events you put on. You did a very good job for being volunteers working with limited options for how your events were allowed to effect the game.
I just really hope CCP doesn't think that the players in EVE will be entertained by reading about the struggles of factions in EVE yet knowing that nothing ingame ever happened to support that piece of fiction. That just seems really lame.
I hope everything works out here but it sounds like EVE could be a lot less entertaining without the volunteer teams...
