@CCP Bayesian Any idea if you're going to support paypal payments for aurum stuff? I have all this money from Diablo and no way to give it to you. :(

I'm entirely the wrong person to ask.

The guys behind DayZ actually work for Bohemia Interactive though although they did do the mod in their own time.

In the spirit of idea generation, would anyone care to start a thread in Features & Ideas Discussion about the sorts of tools the community might like to see in order that they have more control over content? It's probably a little off topic here.

25,000 net Cancelled Subs say that Incarna wasn't popular.

That's some loud foot stomping.

the last thing we need is tools that let players start mod'ing this game until it's just completely out of hand. an example that comes to mind is the custom skins that seem to be coming our way. I'm all for custom skins on my ship, but with realistic EVE colors to choose from. I swear if i start seeing pink fuzzy or zebra striped ships flying around i'll dump my 5 accounts and never look back.

The CSM were actually given a live demo of the prototype running, showing several devs from Team Avatar venturing into an abandoned station, getting killed trying to get loot. They thought it was pretty cool.

Confirming that we did see a neat demo from Team Avatar. I personally think it has some great possibilities, and I urged (and continue to urge) CCP to share their ideas with all of you as early as possible. There should be a few more details in the upcoming CSM summit minutes as well.

25,000 - do you have a link to where CCP says they lost 25,000 accounts?

This is still en-route and I'm currently trying to unclog the pipes that are holding the dev blog up. It's been delayed for so long now I'm going to update the pictures on it to something that's more representative of the current state of things!

You're correct though the gameplay we've been prototyping is based around cooperative gameplay in a hazardous environment. You'd be cooperating both in space and in the structure you were all walking around in though and there would still be the potential for conflict with other people in the structures you are exploring.

We're pretty excited about what we've come up with internally.

Please urge CCP to allow them to put this stuff into actual development.

I would literally like to play this stuff before I'm dead. Seriously, I don't have 5 years to wait for them to do this ****.

I'm sorry, but I won't be doing that until I see more details from them. We saw a demo, and heard some ideas. I think it is great that CCP is doing the prep work to make sure that the thing that they build this time is an actual *game* and not just a tech demo with Microtransactions. I think CCP is on exactly the right track with their Incarna development, which is that they are doing a lot of thinking and a lot less production. Once they get buy in from their management, the CSM and most of all from the playerbase, they should put it into full scale production. Even when they do that, they need to keep in mind that they cannot nearly abandon spaceships in the meantime.

Don't really mean to shift any development, just get team avatar moving forward. I really don't expect to much of anything to happen until after Dust is released anyways.

I just literally don't have 5 years to wait for this. Anything that would help them get this out in say 2 years would be lovely; I think I'll still be well enough in that amount of time.

Best data available.

CCP numbers...not some guess.

Read the second link where he mentions how he got those numbers.

You provide a quote directly from CCP about how many accounts they lost during the big Monoclegate Brewhaha...then lets talk.

They provided datapoints before and after. After was 25,000 lower than before.

Link please.

"CCP has send me new EVE numbers, they look good, 361k subs, so they can celebrate their 9th anniversary knowing they are back on the rise."

Fine. I can prove 10k with CCP's statements. MMOData has access to non-publicised information.

So where is the direct quote from CCP that they lost 25,000 accounts? Still waiting.
