Blissen	Posted - 2003.06.27 04:25:00 - [1] Eve has failed in every aspect of gameplay. From the chunky interface to the complete lack of any interaction. Did the developers really believe a bunch of computer nerds were going to organize wars on each other without any guidance or reward??!! Also - why do you bother creating a custom character at the begining of the game, it makes no difference what race or clan you choose? I can actually see the subscriptions fall away - LOL - less than 4000 now. Stop waiting for new content people it is not coming :-)

Lola	Posted - 2003.06.27 05:38:00 - [7] He's taken an insulting stance but he has a point. Aside from starting location and which race's frig skill you start with race has almost no point. ----------------------------------------- Sig rented by Drethen Nerevitas.

Damon Vile	Posted - 2003.06.27 06:53:00 - [9] Is that bad? No one race is better then the other. The diffrence is in how you RP it. Like alot of things in eve they don't make you be diffrent that part is up to you.

Lola	Posted - 2003.06.27 07:44:00 - [11] There is as much incentive to roll play in eve as there is in monopoly, chess or quake. How about Minmatar get some sort of penalty for flying an Amarr slave trader ship or Gallente get some sort of bonus for using drones? How about Minmatar can KOS Amarr in Minmatar space? I know the war is over but the races are meaningless. Maybe faction standings could work somewhat like security status and if someone has high standing with your enemy you could get points for PVP against them. Neocron, although it's buggy and outdated had a pretty cool faction system compared to EVEs seemingly half-assed attempt. I have all these different points for different factions and so far they seem completely meaningless. Hopefully CCP is just working out the bugs and letting people get settled in before they advance some sort of plot. Some people might like the fact their racial decision has no effect on their game play. I find it rather disapointing and hope CCP has plans to add some incentive to roleplay PVP someday. ----------------------------------------- Sig rented by Drethen Nerevitas.

Chai N'Dorr	Posted - 2003.06.27 07:56:00 - [13] Race doesn't do anything? How odd, as I think it does... says so right in my Race's description that those Amarr zealots conquered and abused my people for centuries. So, not matter what it'll cost me in Sec status, equipment or ships, I sure as heck will fire upon them when I find them in my (read Minmatar) space. Funny how some people fail to understand those last three letters in a MMORPG.

Fonn C'Yar	Posted - 2003.06.27 07:59:00 - [15] Time is running out... They really should introduce some new story elements into this game or it will never reach the popularity of games like neocron, AO or UO... Sorry to say that but ppl made a point here.

Grazna Loknar	Posted - 2003.06.27 08:49:00 - [17] He has a point but the races do make some differance in that the attributes that affect training time is slightly differnt becouse of race bonuses in them but the race differerance should be greater. And sure they do need to alter and fix many things for the game to be truly fun but give em some time. Dont know any mmorpg that was to evryones sadisfaction the first three months.

"Did the developers really believe a bunch of computer nerds were going to organize wars on each other without any guidance or reward??!!" well, It's allways been said, the storyline will not start immediately. "Also - why do you bother creating a custom character at the begining of the game, it makes no difference what race or clan you choose?" ok, a real point of discussion... "I can actually see the subscriptions fall away - LOL - less than 4000 now. Stop waiting for new content people it is not coming :-)" Less then 4000 now????? Where did you get that numbers? You've access to CCP's databases? Oh, you're talking about the number of players online. Last sunday night (this is allways the peak time) we had 6300. It's been increasing from week to week. Not quick, but continuously. No drop so far!!! 6300 max online could mean something like 20.000 to 30.000 subscribers. (Just compared to everquests subscriber numbers <-> peak online) ...sometimes I like feeding the trolls :)))) Edited by: Wotok on 27/06/2003 09:57:42 -- Wotok has no brain!

Acuna Traos	Posted - 2003.06.27 10:19:00 - [29] Hate to point fingers at m0o more than I have to but, look at m0o if that isn't a player driven story I don't know what is. Everybody in Lonetrek knows about them. The whole blockade thing, the plots to take them out, the accusations of alligences etc etc. Theres plenty of stuff going on in eve if you go looking for it. And for those that don't want to look for it. Start it yourself. Go shoot up a corp and claim you were paid by another corp, even if you wern't. Start wars so you can sell arms to either side (or more likely minerals) My main gripe is that there should be items players can make that pirates can't drop. But when research is fully implemented then that may be fixed.

Bajastor	Posted - 2003.06.27 10:57:00 - [35] Race has a great relevance in a roleplaying sense. It might not have a significant effect on statistical gameplay, and it clearly isn't meant to have. For those of us who do roleplay it is invaluable however. Edited by: Bajastor on 27/06/2003 11:02:40

maximum	Posted - 2003.06.27 16:37:00 - [39] There should be group missions you can complete with a team of players. The trouble with Eve is there's absolutely no real incentive to meet up with other folk in space except to mine. Also, because you can communicate with anyone anywhere, the sense of place and distance is lost. It can be quite a lonely game sometimes, even wjen you're in a big corp. I sign in sometimes and notice 8 or 9 corp members in the copr channel, but every single one of them will be engaged ins ome solo persuit. Also, many people in Eve never respond to communication or ignore chat, presumebably becasuse they're surfing the web or doing laundry while they travel or mine. How about mission that require a minimum number of players to sign-up for? That would be coo, and encourage more in-game interaction.

Roba	Posted - 2003.06.27 17:07:00 - [43] Ahhh... stupid n00bs. This gme has an extremely rich rp storyline. Join a larger corp. If you just n00b around by yourself and never talk with anyone eve is a pretty dull place. Its a big universe too. All the mega corps or pwrful small corps has some type of story to tell and missions for you. Storys of battles and lists of enemy corps and ppl. Best example of thsi is m0o. Most of the major merchant corps have battled with them or some other pirate corp. Merchant corps try to sabatoge comptitiors. Sometimes they stage hit and run attacks on their compeitors to disrupte their operations in a specifice region. One of the more fun mission tpye things is grouping up and coming to the rescue of an improtant corp memeber transporting something extremely valuable that has been traped in a system camped by pirates. Nothing like dieing for your corp. Life is cheap in EVE.

"I can actually see the subscriptions fall away - LOL - less than 4000 now. Stop waiting for new content people it is not coming :-)" You're nuts. Last night I saw 29,047 people Online. which means about a total of probably 21,000 actual non alt players. Time to do some research, and keep your negative views away from General forums, you're the kind of person that ruins these forums. Knock it off, get a life and stop using your online one as a mask. <-- ***** remark but absolutely true. Oh, and side note: Why dont you show us your corp. I think you're an alt that wont fess up using your full name. ------------ Peregrinus Amarria**
