Is anyone excited about this new feature? It seems pretty cool to me, but I can only see it being used by people at work (who can't run/install eve on their work machine) and people on the move (who can't run eve on their netbook/smartphone).
Also, I've always been kinda embarrassed by the idea of Eve-gate being a 'social network' - because Eve is 95% male, so even logging on would make me feel like a complete loser. Well, more of a loser.
What about everyone else? Are you going to use Eve-gate? -omg-

I will use it, only once.
And that will be to disable all the public settings to private.
Lets all overload eve gate servers just to do this on launch day. Its going to fail day 1.

Not THAT excited :) Based on current alfa (beta maybe?) version it looks like wasted CCP resources for me. I will use it as you stated. For "offline" viewing calendar (very good feature... the only one I found) and mails when I cannot log in. The very bad thing is, that add this feature into API would be more then sufficient (current inability to retrieve mails body is...). Many people are using API for offline control their account (EveHQ f.e.) And in the moment EveHQ (and others) will annects calendar ability I'm afraid I'm going to not use EVE Gate at all.

I'll use it once, to turn it off.
I have no interest in yet another cumbersome instrument designed to engage me in social networking or replace out of game mechanisms (forums, comms, blogs, etc) with which it will never be able to compete simply because that requires a dedicated constant allocation of resources that cannot match what subscribers themselves come up with.
To get old buddies who have quit back to playing, there's much more efficient methods like convincing them that it is worth it based on quality and experiences.

I am not sure about what benefits it gives, I will probably try it out and quite possibly will like it though I dont think atm it will serve a benefit to me.
But then again CCP tend to not advertise new stuff as much as they could so I have a feeling like everything else eve gate will be resourceful and benefit everyone

What about everyone else? Are you going to use Eve-gate?
First, I dont care if the playerbase is 100% male or 100% female. For me they are gamefriends and co-players! And since I am happily in a relationship, I dont care what sex they are! If you feel embarassed, I think you are having the wrong attitude, or should consider finding something else to do!
When it comes to eve-gate, Yes! I will use it! its a neat way to keep in touch with the game while being at work! I know my boss wont like it though, but since I have my own office with a door, and pretty much controls my own working day, I will be fine. I think!

Edited by: Pesky LaRue on 23/05/2010 15:33:59 Yup - I will be using it exactly as it's intended - as an out-of-game monitoring and social networking tool.
Will I go nuts over it and think it's the greatest thing ever added to EvE? Doubtful, but I'm not sure that's what it is intended for.
It's an addition/expansion to an existing framework that I already really dig - why WOULD'T I use it? .

Originally by: CCP Rhayger Regarding EVE Gate being opt-in versus opt-out I am afraid that will not be the case. This is a conscious decision on our behalf for a number of key reasons.
1) Most importantly, EVE Gate is NOT an optional service added onto EVE. It is a new fundamental part of EVE, just as much a part as in game mail, fitting windows, contracts, etc. Opt-in versus opt-out implies this is an optional service slapped on the side, it is not. Extensive effort and investment will be going into broadening EVE Gate so that it is indispensable in enhancing and improving your experience
2) We are not ignoring security concerns, on the contrary we are investing heavily in addressing them and it is our goal to meet your concerns by giving you flexible control over your information. Our approach to addressing your concerns is not to turn off access all together, but to give you the tools to manage the control of your information yourself. This is something that will be continuously worked on, added to and enhanced
3) At its core this is a social network for EVE Players, not an anti-Social network. An opt-in setting would have almost no one included at start and is contrary to the purpose of the feature and would cripple its usefulness. We feel there are better and more productive ways to address your privacy needs.
In summary, we are listening very closely to your concerns and are making conscious changes to address your privacy needs, some of those changes you have already seen as a result of feedback from alpha testing. However we feel an opt-in or opt-out option is not the answer. As EVE Gate comes to life and you begin using it we would appreciate your feedback on the account settings we roll out and what further controls you would like to see added

For me this thing is just a potential security issue. I will only use 1 single PC in the world (mine) and only use the game itself to change anything (skill training and other things). I even won't ever create a full access API key for Evemon. As for social network, I have never participated in any and not going to change anything about that. I am perfectly well with forums, icq, and in-game chat.
Wait... it's mandatory? Then I am looking forward for it, to be able to disable every thing that can be disabled and set as high security settings as possible, as well as the maximum character most complicated password (in case there is a separate one for this), right after it is released. I really hope that this damn thing won't touch players unless they decide to turn this on manually.

Alliances are already waiting for evegate to go live. Which is why people are calling for it to be opt-in, not opt-out. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

Yes. Access into spacebook is going to be throttled at first to keep it from crashing. All your account contact details has been available since alpha to anyone who has sc****d it during testing. Anyone you set to +10 can see all your contacts. Folders are gone so all friend/foes are grouped together along with the blocked list.
Remember, it's mandatory opt-in so that you have to use it to set your spacebook to private to keep your privacy, otherwise no one would use it.

So I was reading this thread and information got to me that CCP achieved another step on their customer service rise to the bottom.
It turns out that they made your contact list, which includes all the characters on your address book and all the entities in game that you have set standings to, available to anyone you have +10 with!
IT IS NOT FOR YOU TO DECIDE WHO GETS TO SEE MY ADDRESS BOOK AND MY STANDINGS LIST!
But now the damage has already been done on their beta.
To make this even worse, they are capping the amount of contacts you can have to 300! W T F is this S***! There are at least 300 titan pilots in game. There are many alts and people that you want to be able to know is online around the area where you play so you have an adequate intel estimate of what to expect capital hotdrop wise, among other things.
And why this low arbitrary 300 number? This better not limit the number of alts, pilots and corps I can set personal standings with.
Because of what they have already done in trying to ram their new pet social-engineering-development-time-waste-sink down our throats the first thing I will do when Tyrannis goes live is to enable max security and never use EVE Gate again.
CCP is going to learn to treat us like customers one way or the other.

I don't even use the in-game browser, I find it too slow and unsecure.
And the "social network" part of it... Recently I have been getting Social Adaptation implants for storylines too often, about 2 of them per every non-charisma implant. Now I understand the hint But no, I am not going to participate in any social network.
They are going to make limited access first, "open up a bit, then a bit more". I wonder, why not just let those people who don't want this at all simply sign up for something like "automatic most restricted profile, everything disabled" so that they wouldn't have to log into this ****? The load would be decreased significantly. |

Are you serious about 10 minutes? Takes about 4 seconds to launch the client, about 5 seconds to login (this doesn't count time for entering the password), then 4 seconds to enter the game with a selected character. So it takes me less than 30 seconds (even with my monstrous password) to get from desktop into the game. I realize that Evegate might be useful for some people, particularly if they need to check eve-mail often, but 10 minutes for login is incredible.

Not everyone use IG Mails. Forums are often more practical to give informations. It is the case in my corporation, and this is a good thing as I hate using Mails. For the calendar, a good alliance already have this kind of tools.
So at the moment, EVE-Gate is not interresting, but it is already a security leak. I made some posts to corpmates to explain and take action against it, and also demotivate people to use Spacebook.
CCP don't want to tell us what new features can be expected in the future, so for the moment it is "Implement now, develop later". A body who have no really useful organs, but CCP want us to use it anyway.

As for me, I don't actually care if those set to +10 watch my contact list (btw, is it about +10 or any Superb standing which is 9.5+?). As long as it is read only, it is ok. I like the role playing aspect and set various standings, they are not just "-10/red/orange/blue/dark-blue/+10" for me. And only several people are set to Superb.
I worry more about actual security. You see, an extra way to login and influence the in-game stuff (like skill training) can't actually improve security - the best result will be the same level, even if Evegate itself happens to be more secure. So I'd like to be as isolated from this new feature as possible.

Originally by: EveMart Representative To be honest, I don't know why people are setting other people to +10 when they don't trust them to see their contacts list.
Makes no sense to me!
It's because until recently, standing has only been a color-coded number, and everyone was free to define by himself what it means exactly (like a tool in a sandbox. I wonder if anyone at CCP knows what that means...). There was no need to trust anyone when setting standings. Personally, I used +10 only for my alts, but for someone who distinguished only between friend and enemy with no levels in between, it made perfectly sense to set all his friends to +10.
A forced social network has no place in a game where most people shoot first, ask questions later, and then shoot again. In this game, every other player is a potential enemy and should be treated as such by default.
Unfortunately, due to CCP's ignorance about their own game, there is nothing we can do right now. To those who are worried, I recommend deleting all your standings and contact list until this idiocy has gone live and is well enough understood, so we know how to protect ourselves. Then I give it a few weeks of abuse until CCP realize the need to make it opt-in with the next patch or hotfix.

q1: do i have to disable the settings on every single char i have? q2: are members of my corp automatically + 10 and so able to see my contact list?

The point with this sort of stuff is the company's attitude. CCPs is pretty bad given that they are assuming everyone would wish to be opted into something most of them won't know exists.
Its not a question of "tinfoil hats", its a question of trust. We (sort of) know what info is available now but for the future? I'm sure we've all had emails from companies we opted out from when they "changed/updated their email system" yes? So how often are you meant to check that CCP haven't exposed data you don't want exposed due to patches/upgrades stuffing up previous settings? I have no idea but I don't want to have to check.
Anyone who operates a system which requires a customer to opt-out is someone who doesn't have a clue about CRM.

If you don't trust someone enough to see your contacts list, why do you have them +10 anyway? +10 implies friend or ally...+5 just means "Okay, I won't shoot, but no access to secret stuff!" It's similar with outposts and the like in this function.
As a couple others have said, either reset all your +10s (except alts ofc) or put them at +5 if you don't trust them enough. I'm also sure it's at a pilot level so corporation and alliance standings won't have any effect. By the way, this is my signature.

I seriously doubt that you give your phone contact list to an IRL friend... Same thing here with ingame contacts. Friend don't mean that we will tell him everything, and especialy contacts, same if Facebook successed to change the definition of the word "Friend".
Facebook essentially did that by allowing friends to see basically "all" your information that you put on it (I recently deactivated my account because of recent issues). I think CCP is trying to do the same thing...which although I see workarounds by changing standings, it's not really for EVE.
I know CCP is trying hard to get people to use it, and hopefully they will listen to some of the feedback and offer ways to secure your information. By the way, this is my signature.

Since a large part of Eve for me happens in the email interface, and various out of game tools and services, I can certainly see myself doing all this without even logging on with Eve-gate available.
Hopefully that means more intensive pew pew, when I am logged on to the game client.

VV, you don't have a legal leg to stand on. You don't own anything, and the game is provided as a service. You opted in by paying your subscription and/or buying the game. Seriously, the same kind of twisted logic could be used to declare that PVP in Counter Strike should be opt in. I opt in only to dualie duels, of course.

I'll use it.
I dislike that it shares any information automatically without your permission to start with but I've reviewed that issue and what is shared by default is of no concern to me. Measures have been taken, so to speak.
However, the ability to access email, contacts, and calendar from outside the game will help me greatly in organizing game events ahead of time so that when I do finally have time to log in and play I should actually get more flight time in.

Facebook essentially did that by allowing friends to see basically "all" your information that you put on it (I recently deactivated my account because of recent issues). I think CCP is trying to do the same thing...which although I see workarounds by changing standings, it's not really for EVE.
I know CCP is trying hard to get people to use it, and hopefully they will listen to some of the feedback and offer ways to secure your information.
CCP should:
1) Read the worldwide wall of flames off prominent information sites (IE ZDNet) thrown on Facebook's "fancy" privacy concept and how Facebook owners are being pushed into improving privacy over there.
2) Make the product so good that everyone want to use it, not ninja force people into it, without them even knowing they are.
3) At least send an in game warning about the implications of EvE Gate and how to opt out of it. It still kicks military / months off people in the groin, but at least it saves many others.
I of course already reset everything but I am thinking for the others, those (and I have a dozen EvE friends in the situation) who won't have a chance to fix their stuff as ATM they can't play, much less read the forum.

I also don't own anything in my WEB based email, it's also provided as a service, yet I am protected on it.
Most of all - and in my country this is continuously used to void shady contracts (I don't know the proper English words :S) - is the factual effect.
Do I - not as avatar, but the real me - get harassed by an unsolicited "Buy Cialis" e-mail? Yes. Do I - not as avatar, but the real me - get harassed by an unsolicited "Buy ISK" in game mail (caused by a data mining bot run at "EvE Gate day zero"? Yes.
I don't own anything in both, I get the same effect in both and I get the harassing effect on *me, the RL dude* not an avatar. I still pretend *I* am in my property.

Something tells me this may well reveal a few undercover spy alts from big alliances.
I personally won't use Eve gate... if they are implementing all this crap then there is no excuse not for implementing the idea of being able to alter your skill queue out of game.
Nuff said.

And one forum for corp, and one for alliance.
And now evegate also?

That data mining bot sure must be popular, since apparently he is set +10 by a large section of the EVE community. Otherwise it can get nothing.
Now if some people did set "him" blue for some reason (or had him in their corp) I suppose (if someone actually took the time to make the bot work) that it might capture their contact list, but unless the people on that list also have him set +10 he can mine no further.
Frankly, you'd be far more effective creating a bot that captures the names of the people passing through Jita local. ===== If you go to Za'Ha'Dum I will gank you. |

You are aware that they're opting you in to a game feature which might reveal in game information right? Let me know when they opt you in to putting your home address on the internet via eve-gate.

Let's be clear: You own nothing about this game, and neither do I. If they wanted to publish everything at all about your character, you'd have no legal grounds for complaint. None. Now if they go publishing your home address/email address/whatever you might be able to complain.
But this is a game feature.

Why are you blindly defending this? cant you see why many people see this as a breech of player trust in CCP? because what could be next? publishing our chatlogs perhaps? or recording conversations on EVE voice? by your argument they would have the legal right to do this and while I am never going to get into a :internet lawyers: argument I do not think they have the right to do this because who you choose to socialize or speak with in a game should not be made public without permission just because it happens to be on CCP servers.
By your logic a mobile phone service provider have the right to publicly publish a list of everyone a customer texts or calls when in reality they need a court order to even show the police any logs.
And in any case if CCP do have this right we need to consent to this by agreeing to the terms and conditions presented in the EULA so on patch day if players do not accept the new revised EULA will that automatically exclude their data from being published? (and from logging into the game in the process ofc)

Lets go back a few posts to one of your earlier statements:-
Originally by: Liang Nuren You don't own anything, and the game is provided as a service. You opted in by paying your subscription
Its true the in game content is internet spaceships but in reality CCP provides a service in return for a subscription and this makes CCP a service provider, who you decide to socialise with is not in game content and should not be disclosed without the subscribers permission.

Subscribers who currently play the game agreed to the terms and conditions based on the content at the time they consented to the EULA, if players do not agree to the terms and conditions related to the new content (EVE gate) should they be subjected to the consequences of that new content, namely the disclosing of social records? I don't believe they should.

Originally by: Jhagiti Tyran yes you are your just posting "CCP owns your soul" and not even just slightly thinking about how it might be wrong.
No... I said nothing about your soul. I said that they owned the data on their server that's related to your in game characters. Do you deny this? Also, I was extremely critical of EveGate in the initial roll out on sisi. It was a bit too revealing.... but I wouldn't worry about such things now that the major concerns have been addressed.
Quote: According to the argument you made about CCP owning every single players social activity record its not different at all its just a different level of privacy invasion.
I think the argument could be made that kind of data is more closely aligned with data transmitted over IM networks. I think its a totally different level of thing because one thing we're talking about releases data strictly of use in game, while another has an extremely high likelihood of containing data that could be used for nefarious purposes out of game. Even still, I would probably have no recourse unless it contained very specific kinds of data.
On this note, I don't see you flaming Chribba for releasing an entire week's worth of chat logs?

Oh, better get rid of killmails and corp tickers on the forums too eh? Look, there's already tons of data out there for anyone that cares to look. You can ***** and moan all you want to about it, but ultimately they've given you the tools to take advantage of this in a way that both delivers the benefits and doesn't unnecessarily expose "your" data.

I asked you to point to a specific clause of the EULA that prohibits Eve Gate or anything like it. Obviously, you can't do that. Thus, you quite likely don't need to sign a new EULA. But feel free to quit, and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

You don't see me flaming anyone at all I am just presenting my opinion in a clear mature way please show me where I have insulted, swore or or resorted to ad hominem attacks. I have not posted an opinion on whatever Chribba is supposed to have done because I dont know what happened but it does not really have any relevance to to this discussion as Chribba is not CCP.
But as you bring up the big C it seems he is also against the default "opt in" setting for EVE gate.

Also where do I say I am quiting? I just said that people who do not agree should be not subjected to it, personally I will turn every feature in EVE gate off that I can and never use it again. Regarding the possible amendments to the EULA in every major patch or expansion CCP have given players the option to refuse or agree to it both when you install the patch and login the first time after installation I don't see them not doing the same this time around.

It's sharing in game info! not sharing RL life info and people talking there could be legal action is a complete moron!
CCP owns all the info of toons! not you! Also using the logic to phone number to be made public is dumb as well. I mean phone books? I get calls from companys and they said they get it from phone books O.o I can't do much about it other i have to pay to hide my dam number!

In theory, if I refuse the EULA (that WILL be shown and required to be "signed") I should become unable to further play the game (fair) but as consequence of the denial, the new unsolicited features should not be activated either. Wanna bet with me that this won't be the case?

Social networks disgusts me as it's my firm belief that they're used only by complete losers or outright ret_ards, so I wasn't planning to use EVE-Gate, obviously. However, moronic opt-out decision ccp comes up with (well can't blame them this exact time as it's what they always do) apparently forces me to pollute myself by using it once - to shut down all possible access to my ingame information. 'Tis sad.

EVE GATE is quite disappointing at the moment.
It would be useful if it had the following features:
- Add skills to the skill queue. - Corp/Alliance forum when you create a corp/alliance, it automatically generates a public/private forum where your corpmembers can discuss stuff. - Integrated killboard which can't be tampered with. I've seen plenty of corps who delete loss mails just so they can brag about killboard efficiency, but challenge them to a fair fight and they'll dock up until they outnumber you 5-1.

Well hey, this is EVE. <EVE stock phrases> If you're in a fair fight, you're doing it wrong. If the odds are even, it's because the other guy's backup hasn't arrived yet. There are lots of 1-on-1:s to be had ù you just have to kill the other 20 guys first. </EVE stock phrases>

I thought I used to read about changing skill training via Evegate. Just rechecked the feature page, right, it says "check skills", not "change skills". It means the thing poses less threat and it makes me feel better. I will probably not rush to disable everything in the first hour, but do it a bit later.

Man... the tears are heavy in this topic... don't drown in your tears people, it's just a spaceships under water game. Throwing with laws and regulations would be in place when your real life information would be published. This is NOT the case. Your EVE information could be accessible to people you have set to +10 standings. So friggin' what? It's just names people... names! It's not like your complete relations to those people will be public or anything. Talking about crawlers and spiders is bull...'droppings' as well... did you set them to +10? Yes? well tough luck, apparently the one you've trusted enough to give +10 standings wasn't too trustworthy after all.
Stop crying as if your bank account, phone book and f*** all is gonna be published, it's some random information about in-game contacts that doesn't mean...stuff...
I'm sure I will use EVE-gate a lot, it sounds like a very cool tool that can have many uses, especially for CEO's and officers of a corp/alliance. The calender is a great asset to have available out of game. If you are leading an event and you need to quickly postpone it, just update it in the calender and everyone is aware it will start later.

Will use it once - like many others here to turn everything private and then forget it even exists.
Opt-out for anything is frankly a very bad customer service design for when companies launch something they know people won't otherwise use normally.
My guess is the plans went like this:-
1. Invent new shiny few want because "social-networking is all the rage these days". 2. Realise it'll be a 5 minute wonder (like faction-warfare was at the start), so make it opt-out to give it the biggest user number possible and claim it's a success. 3. Continue to make Dust console only at the start - something PC users actually DO want. 4. Keep adding new shiny stuff to get new players...instead of actually fixing the broken stuff in the game currrently. (server stability+ socket closed issues would be a start).
Is it really too much to ask for fixes to current problems before new stuff that causes more is added ? |

Edited by: Taram Caldar on 26/05/2010 15:05:53 I'll be setting it to max security but I'll still use it to check eve-mail from my phone when I can't be online. And probably to check calendars if the in-game calendars feed into it.
As a CEO I think it'll be an invaluable tool to keep me connected to my corp members when I can't be online. As a player I think the silliness with giving anyone access to any of your information without making it opt-in is a mistake on CCP's part.

Response to OP: No.
Reason: I like to seperate the time i spend playing games from the rest of my life. Dont feel the need to merge the two any more than i currently do.
Exception: Use once to turn it off as much as possible
Opinion: Security (from an in game perspective), well as i go by the rule Trust No-one until (a)you have spoken to them at length on voice coms (b) know something about them in real life (c) possibly have met them and thier family - then introducing this as an Opt In feature is ( as has been pointed out) a disingenuous approach. Allowing people with +10 standings to view your address book means nothing as it is just a list of characters - being part of a large 0.0 alliance means having no control over this, which seems a little strange as you would think an address book is an inherently private thing.
Any information i have ( or think i have ) about this feature has been gained from forum posts. I accept, therefore, that i may have based an opinion on incorrect or incomplete data. As the facts ( as i know them ) change, so might my opinion.

I will use it and I'm guessing EVE Gate may be used to link people who will have accounts for both EVE and Dust 514. This way you will have one convenient location to manage accounts for two games that are not linked otherwise.

Inserts witty comment about how lame eve gate will be in order to get acceptance from my forum peers and sound cool, even though i will probably use it. -------

Social Networking sites are so manipulative to the very bone of human relations...
Why would they assume that I would want even my closest friends to know who my other friends are?
Why put me in a position where if I want to test (or even feign) closeness to someone and treat them like a close friend when I still have apprhensions about them I need to either give them a rejection (thwarting the development of situational trust) or introduce them to details of my life (other friends and family) that I may never be willing to share with them.
Its just a dumb assumption that I want my friends to know who my other friends are , in real life and in the game. I can get into the deeper political issues (mcarthyism?) and social issues (mild excummication of radical minded people who you would prefer not to be publically associated with- Gays if you are otherwise a trusted member of a Mormon community?)... but I'm not sure I'm eloquent enought to express them... previous attempts have failed.

Is there a link or a "how to disable" so i can turn it off as soon as it is launched? I'm a bit picky about internet security, i see everyday the catastrophic result of a poor security understanding.
This doesn't mean i won't use it taught in the future, depend on the quality of the service. Maybe being able to change my skill queue would be a nice first step to even look in it

Yes and no. CCP in there infinite wisdom have enabled sharing by default, then throttled the number of account that can sign up at any one time to manage the load. One you allowed to sign in you select your character and then your can got to setting and change each of the 3 privacy setting to block every one. You then change characters and do it all over again, once the characters on the account are done you log off and change accounts.
There is no one master opt out, so as CCP release new Features to enhance your social experience or they decide to do a facebook and try to make the security controls to complex to allow you to protect your data, you will have to do it all over again.
Looking at evegate gate its already hit the max number accounts it will currently support. Macrointel, the place were the nature order of the universe does not hold sway. Pirates and ore thief's are congratulated by carebears for the actions. |

Talking about crawlers and spiders is bull...'droppings' as well... did you set them to +10? Yes? well tough luck, apparently the one you've trusted enough to give +10 standings wasn't too trustworthy after all.
Your lack of consideration for the *principle* of priority of customers privacy (however minimal the effects are) is appalling. Voted Bush?
You could not even *use* some facilities without +10 standings.
It was also quite hard to even see those *outside the old address book* who got standings in years of playing. When one goes from multiple 0.0 to low sec corps and back - and on several accounts - the amount of "garbage" builds up very fast.
People already got an hard bone with their supercaps getting in probe space, it was not necessary to also broadcast their out of corp-yet-ble JF / mission alts at the same time.
Furthermore, while I reset standings before the expansion, there are thousands out in the military or who just are not forum trolls who had no chance to even know about this genius opt out.

I'm a bit curious as to why EVE Gate was implemented in the first place. From the replies of this thread, most people want to opt-out, including myself. In its current state all you can do is check mail, calender, and edit your spacebook status. I also hate how the new default browser page is EVE gate, I liked the old news site a whole lot better because why would you even want to log onto EVE gate if you were already logged onto EVE.
