Although this thread might seem controversial to CCP apologists I think we should discuss as gamers the strength and weakness of both these two MMOs. It is my hope that without flaming, without trolling, and without favour we can carry out an indepth autopsy on eve-online and the new STO.
Here are the main issues which I would like to raise:
1. CCP has promised to deliver us the customers "Walk-in-stations"...Several years ago and failed to deliver, STO developers have made a new game in a fraction of that time and it has not internet spaceships but also walk-in-stations.
2. STO is cheaper than Eve-Online
3. STO story-line is well known, Eve online story-line is weak.
It is my view that if Eve online continues with the same level of Incompetence, Apathy, Lack of creative thinking, and change the demeaning automated manner in which it treats its customers, I dont forsee Eve online recovering.
Regards
1. I don't much care either way if CCP does WIS or not. I'm a demigod pod pilot and why would I want to soil myself walking shoulder to shoulder with the common filth of the EVE universe?
2. The boxed edition of EVE Online is $40. That includes a 60 day GTC and a few little extras. STO is $50 - $80 depending on the edition you buy and iirc, it only comes with a 30 day sub, and whatever fluff is included.
I downloaded EVE for nothing, spend $5 for the CD fee and buy a year sub for both my accounts when I need more time.
3. It may have been because I was playing in open beta, but STO seemed very shallow in terms of story and content. That may change over time and I hope it does as I feel the game overall has potential. But for the foreseeable future, I'm not giving it another look.
I've played EVE for the last two years, and the only way anyone is going to get me to stop playing is when the devs shut down the server for the last time.
EVE has it's problems, we all know that. But it seems to me that the majority enjoy this game for what it is and are willing in part to overlook most things.
EDIT: changed s****to filth, and I call second page sniper.
Surrender is still your slightly less painful option. |
