Berious Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2009.03.20 11:42:00 - [61] Edited by: Berious on 20/03/2009 11:42:08 Originally by: Donovan Corelli Originally by: Crumplecorn Lots of CCP hate, did I miss a PR disaster at some point? Ghost Training and removal of classic client caused rabblerabble. Jacked the price of timecards way up also and gave us some PR spin about it being industry standard.
Jowen Datloran Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2009.03.20 11:44:00 - [62] Edited by: Jowen Datloran on 20/03/2009 11:45:58 CCP is going to lose that one. There is no way console junkies with short attention span would ever favor EVE over titles like Need For Speed. And there are A LOT of console junkies out there. EDIT: It has nothing to do with quality of games nor recent CCP marketing fiascoes. It is all about who appeal to most gamers. Quite interestingly, games with the broadest appeal are generally also the ones I find most mind numbing. ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute

Ginako	Posted - 2009.03.20 13:23:00 - [69] Current Poll as of 9:20 AM is: CCP - 51.6% (991) EA Canada - 48.4% (929) Gonna be Real close... -------------- Flying Minmatar is like strapping yourself to an office chair and firing Uzi's as you roll down a flight of stairs!
Malcanis R.E.C.O.N. Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2009.03.20 13:48:00 - [70] Originally by: Akita T CCP touts nearly 300k subscribers. Even assuming only 75% are individual subscribers, and that a mere 10% read the forums at all, that's still over 20k people that could sign up and vote for CCP/EVE if they wanted to. I see less than 1k votes for CCP there right now. Why should I register at some random site I don't care about to vote on a stupid internet poll I don't care about? Write a register macro to register 5,000x and vote for CCP 5,000x if you care so much. The real vote is shown just to the right off the "password" box when I log into the game.
Advice Dog	Posted - 2009.03.20 13:59:00 - [71] Originally by: Asuka Smith EA is actually turning out to be pretty legitimate lately. RA3 has received significant post-release support (and is a fun game), and Mirror's Edge was groundbreaking. EA has learned that releasing buggy games and not supporting them will lead to short-term profits but after a couple years no one will touch your products. CCP is going to learn that lesson eventually and I am sure if it was not for the developer corruption scandal and the constant bugs this game would have a million subscribers by now. Are you actually reading this **e before you post? EA have released years of bug filled with the odd gem in and support is sparse at best. Eve is being constantly upgraded with a giant team of people supporting it, not to mention breaking new ground as far as MMO's are concerned. I dare you to name 1 other game that gets upgraded every 6 months, let alone 1 other game that is even half as vast and involved as Eve you whiney **tard... Also, developer scandal.... Madoffs ponzi scheme, that was a scandal, Fred the Shreds pension, that is a scandal, cash for questions, that is a scandal. Some guy on internet spaceships giving out imaginary blueprints to his mates is not in any way and never will be a scandal you whiney little femal dog.
Bethulsunamen Viziam	Posted - 2009.03.20 14:29:00 - [72] Edited by: Bethulsunamen on 20/03/2009 14:29:34 Rofl how the hell can EA be tied with CCP? Wow... I guess people really liked NFS Carbon and the like. And RA3 wasnt fun, it was made by people who ejaculate prematurely, why else would they design a game where every match ends in 2 minutes? Comedy grammar fail is fail at comedy..

Don't play competitive online then? I play with friends and we usually get good long games going. But to be honest, no matter how much you change a C&C game, they'll always come down to tank rushan.
Zaknussem Intrum Industria	Posted - 2009.03.20 15:16:00 - [74] Edited by: Zaknussem on 20/03/2009 15:16:46 Originally by: Xailia One corrupt developer during the entire life of EVE is pretty damn good. And you're pretty darn naive if you think that's all there is to it. For every one corrupt individual that's discovered within a group, any group, there are at least three others that go undiscovered. Sports, politics, religion, small software company in the middle of nowhere, it doesn't matter. It applies equally everywhere. The real question then is, naturally, what are we not seeing? On the subject of the poll, I'll only say this: If CCP were up against one of the developing teams under EIDOS, CCP would win in a heartbeat. EA may be bad, but there are actually worse publishers out there at the moment.

Zex Maxwell Caldari	Posted - 2009.03.20 17:38:00 - [77] I believe that CCP will win the first round, but look who will win the round after that. Valve has a bigger player base, I bet that CCP will loose the second round. Sad ---

Valve has a bigger player base, I bet that CCP will loose the second round. Sad Depends how many Xbox 360 TF2 & Left 4 Dead players read Escapist. The amount of time it took them to get the Left 4 Dead patch out and the extras for TF2 (Is it even out yet? I havnt checked) has made that player base super angry. -------------- Flying Minmatar is like strapping yourself to an office chair and firing Uzi's as you roll down a flight of stairs!
rValdez5987 Amarr PROGENITOR CORPORATION	Posted - 2009.03.20 17:43:00 - [80] Originally by: Asuka Smith I hope a CCP developer looks at that poll and see that they are BARELY maintaining a two-digit lead over mother**ing EA. That has got to put a damper on their day. The majority of people voting against CCP are unqualified to even vote imo. I see people label EVE as a "ty game" when chances are they logged in for maybe a 14 day trial, found that it's not like WoW, EVE has consquences, got blown up being STUPID, and logged out saying "ty game penalized me for being A *ING MORON" and of course logged into their WoW characters with full epics etc etc etc HURL

Theres a website that deals in regard to this, but you have to discover its location just like the rest of us. :P But seriously haven't you even noticed my post already ended and your reading my sig?

Love Eve, hate CCP. They're about as loyal to their players as a bank is to its constituents. Borked and buggy releases, internal theft/corruption. And the changing tales of when, where and what is coming. It's not the players' game anymore, folks. It's theirs.

Bay Blue	Posted - 2009.03.20 18:55:00 - [85] 'Meh CCP since Eve seems to be doing better lately...' Is this the best quote on there? Since when was there ever a since EVE, it is there only product isn't it?

Asuka Smith Gallente StarHunt	Posted - 2009.03.20 19:32:00 - [87] Originally by: Xailia One corrupt developer during the entire life of EVE is pretty damn good. Most other companies wouldn't say anything and quietly ask the dev to go. CCP went to the community, set up an internal investigation team to prevent further corruption, and disclosed information about the event. One developer that we know of, and if I recall CCP did say nothing until a certain guy whos name shows up as ********* on the forums (they censored it lol) hacked into CCP's ** and revealed the truth. Only after it hit Slash did CCP respond. The "IA" division is likely imaginary and they just tout it around to make us feel good... If your yard is full of molehills and you decide to kill the moles, do you shoot one and call it good? Or is a yard full of molehills more likely to be a systemic problem where there are a half dozen moles at the least? On the day the scandal broke CCP deleted every thread that mentioned it until it was obvious that that was doing them more harm than good. CCP was all about damage control from the start on the developer cheating scandal. Why do you think their in-game characters are secret? If they had nothing to hide they would not hide.

And we'd all enjoy not being able to log in. yeah jesus. i remember when 12k was the sunday peak... not the 5am tuesday average. the 40+k we have simultaneously on ONE server is groundbreaking in its own right. no 50/servers some with pvp some without. i put something on market you all can see it and buy it, i love this game but would hate to see it crowd to the point that it just becomes a hyper inflationary lagfest (imagine the isk generated by 955000 more players and how high that would send prices.) even in losec we would have jita-esque traffic problems. im no CCP fanboy. they have however produced the only true sandbox game i know. and havent banned me for podkilling or scamming yet :D
