1) You deleted contact folders, which are virtually necessary to have anything approaching sensible organization for anyone with more than maybe two dozen contacts, since the contact lists in game forcibly show portraits and there's zero sorting functionality.
Yes, like we started in another thread we did realize this and it will be added soon in the form of contact labels (very similar to the labels in the mail system).

2) There's no block functionality with launch? That's been standard in any sort of social interaction medium since the mid-90s. How exactly did you overlook it?
Block is in client, we had to delay it for a week or two on EVE Gate.

Great! too bad I'll be useing FB most of the time. you sure you cant syinc it?
FB is for real people, EVE Gate is a part of the EVE universe and for EVE pilots.
Also a lot of the ideas here are already being planned, we just aren't ready to announce anything yet.

are we going to have to wait till december to see evegate get any real new features (besides bugfixes etc)
Don't be silly. You won't see any bug fixes until way after December.
Then I'm looking forward to proving you wrong :) we will keep working on EVE Gate after the first launch, and plan to push out updates regularly.

Releasing this on May 18th, at the same time as Dominion?
Wow, you folks are gluttons for punishment.
EVE Gate is one of the major features of Tyrannis. EVE Gate is a part of the game, not some external website that has nothing to do with the rest.

CCP, is there any hit per second limit you would like us to respect when crawling the site?
Crawling EVE Gate is forbidden as part of our soon to be updated Terms of Service, and can be a basis for an account ban. Remember that everything you do on EVE Gate you do logged in as your account.
You should be using the API when writing your tools, and if there is functionality on EVE Gate that is not on the API then that's something we will consider adding.

Quick question, will i be able to use evegate on a smartphone? Would be cool if i could check mails etc whilst out and about,
If your phone has a decent browser and you don't mind scrolling a bit then sure, we've already been trying it on the iPhone (and iPad) for example.
A more mobile-centric solution is not a part of this release.

We are not ignoring those concerns, they have been discussed a lot internally and we have commented on them numerous times in other threads.
I would really like if people got their facts straight on some of the things they are panicking about, it really isn't as bad as many people make it out to be.

Lots of love in here :)

2) You are ignoring our security concerns. Modern EVE warfare has a lot to do with spies and metagaming in 0.0 and in empire. By turning everything on by default and then throttling logins you are potentially revealing sensitive information which can be read before we get a chance to turn it off or even to see what you are revealing.
Throttling is only TEMPORARY, and probably for a few days at most.

EVE Gate is not Facebook, just because it has Facebook-like "status updates", that is actually just a small part of the whole application. If you read through the blog this thread is about you would see those features outlined (mail, calendar, contacts/standings..)
And yes we will keep adding more features to EVE Gate, both web-only features and exposing more of the client features on the web.
If it helps you to think about EVE Gate as "EVE on the web", then by all means do so and stop pushing it into the Facebook template :)

You seem insistant on ignoring the challenge of principalities that rule in commercial development when engaging on replicating social networking structures like Facebook and/or Facebook derived interactions.
Well, I guess I should say thank you for confirming your intention to require players to engage in EVEgate for web-only features not available in game.
I'm a bit at a loss for words.
You misunderstand me :) I was being intentionally vague about the web-only features because we don't want to announce anything at this time. But we are talking about features like new forums, blogs and so on.. not game mechanics.
