Originally by: Miniturret with the if it ain't broke don't fix it statement I was referring to my PC. Everything still works so why change/upgrade/replace it? As i've stated yes I know i'm not able to play some of the newer games and I accept that.
As to what I consider an accurate representation of the population would be 10% of the player base which if you consider the fact that there is actually closer to what 250k acounts last I checked i'm only going to use the 50k-100k which I previously used. 10% of that would be 5k-10k responses or polling answers.
Do I agree that Eve needed to updated? yes and no.
Yes because it can not remain stagnant or people will leave and the game with fail.
No because this is the worst time economy wise to force people to upgrade their computers if they want to continue to play the game. I had to look and see what I could give up in order to upgrade my computer enough to continue to play eve. Needless to say there wasn't much that I could and still survive.
As to the statement of the bulk of the posters here already have high end computers that is based on their comments which lead me to believe a) they had a silver spoon shoved up their asses as birth and their parents gave them anything they wanted, or b) they still live in their momma's basement and have nothing better to do.
Seriosally what gfx card you running, im running a 6600gt and it runs full premium fine. You did try turning all the options down right?
As for the why fix it if it isnt broken statement your pc may not be broken as such but its out of date get over it and upgrade or stop moaning and no i neither live with my mother nor was i born with a silver spoon in my mouth, honestly you could upgrade your gfx card to one with s2.0 for a very little amount of money if your that broke that you cant afford that then maybe you should think about the fact you spend 15 euros a month on a game.

Six years. That is old for software. It's incredibly old for a MMO.
How old is WoW? (Never revamped graphics, they still support their software.)
WoW is a lot newer than eve no where neer 6 years old (4 1/2 in fact) and tecnically its WoW 3 now as there have been two expansions and wow sytem req's go up with every expantion, oh and if we had gfx like wow around here space would look like it had been painted by a 3 year old!
6 Years ago when eve released the gfx were top notch, tbh i wold rather have to upgrade my gfx card to run eve looking pretty than cope with poor gfx like WoW, at least ccp dont charge for their expansions which you have to buy to continue the game.

WoW is a lot newer than eve
oh god... now people cant even count..
WoW: The game was released on November 23, 2004 EvE: First released in North America and Europe in May 2003
What do you consider 'a lot newer' ..
come on people.. think before posting.. and learn to count..
edit* - spelling
erm i can cont.....
Wow released nov 2004 (nov 2004 - now (march 2009) 4 years 4 months ago) Eve released May 2003 (May 2003 - now (march 2009) 5 years 10 months ago)
Thats a differance of 1 year 6 months which is a long time in the world of computers.

World of computers? lol.. I feel like your just trying to argue for the sake of arguing..
Main issue still exists.. CCP did NOT need to remove their classic client because of 'age'.
Period...
(Give me the EvE Classic Source code.. I know companies and people that would still support it for many more years to come.)
edit* - ()
No your right they did not need to remove it because of age (i never argued they did), i was more pointing out your flawed argument about WoW and that the system requirements for eve are not high by any stretch of the imagination.
They stopped suporting the clasic client so they only have to keep one client upto date, sorry but to me that makes a lot of sence.
