Hrm. I just got one myself. Not going to click on the link though.
And it's a _salary_ survey. Is CCP trying to find out how much I'll pay for GTC/PLEX/Expansions?
edit: I really need to get more sleep and multi-task less.

Yeah just got one too. The contact link looks legit, and they used my username so I'm guessing it's OK? Would be nice for a Dev to confirm though.

Got mail too.
Startet the Survey, got very hard annoyed by the 30sec delay after every question. Stopped after about 6 question, cause don't want to mess my time with waiting for server response!
@ CCP: If u want us to do your surveys, don't have to stare us at our monitors. If i want to wait hours and just want to do a click a single time every minute i set up a pos, it's the same boring and anoying ****!

So I reckon this is legit guys. Also never asked for my username, password or personally identifiable details.

Well let's see, I selected English.
It is now 3 minutes later and it is still unsure if I selected English.
So if my maths is correct it will take at least 60minutes to finish this, more likely 90 or so minutes.

Your browser has waited aeons for the next survey page to load. This could mean that the server is very loaded.
Please be patient, chances are that the page will load eventually but depending on the load it might be an unfathomable duration of time.

Perhaps more importantly: this thing happens every time CCP sends out a survey ù GD gets swamped with "is this legit" threads.
Could CCP at some point take the time to consider that they're managing a game and a community where a fair amount of paranoia is a very real and very necessary in-game, meta-game and out-of-game trait to have?
The next time, make a sticky thread first.
Then send out the survey emails, and include a link to said thread.
Communication and coordination at its finest ù it would save everyone a bit of grief.

It's stuck! I've tried restarting it. Been trying to take this utterly pathetic stupid survey for over an hour.
Didn't CCP think to allow more than 10 people at a time to take the survey?
I'm sure you'll really get some great data from this survey since by the time poeple get done taking it they're ready to pull their hair out.

The worst part is not the slowness, The worst is the inane questions! If you want someones opinion give them more options than clicking a radio button. So often the answer you "serve" us does not allow you to express why you clicked a radio button in the first place. So un-pro as to make the whole survey meaningless.
My guess is that an intern has come up with this non-shiney pile of c rap

CCP, you mean the legit survey is legit. The scamming, virus loaded, keylogging surveys are not. I guess it'll be up to the hacked accounts petitions to figure out which was which.
To players: NEVER ever ever ever click on any links you get in your email, even from CCP. If it's legit, it's on the forums. If it's legit and not on the forums, assume it's still a scam. I mean, holy crap, what kind of stupid ass dev decided it was a good idea to tell everyone "hey, click on random links you get in your email!"?

Painfully slow 
Also, another vote here for the pointlessness (or at least poor wording) of some questions adding to the frustration - how much do I agree with the statement that Eve 'is realistic'? Hard to judge, I'd say - I'm not sure what stage interstellar spacecraft technology has reached in the US but here in Europe I'd have to say that a game about immortal humans sitting inside pods of goo controlling spaceships with their minds in order to wage vast interstellar wars is edging on the side of fantasy as opposed to realism.
A less trite survey next year please, hosted somewhere that won't take so long to load each new question. The only saving grace was that, being on the web, I had easy access to p0rn to distract myself while waiting for the survey to crawl from page to page

I still think its a scam and im not going to fill it in.
If its legit or not i dont care.
Even if only because i think that this really is not the way we shoud be contacted by CCP to fill in or click on anything.
Next time some hacker sends a phishing email the easely fooled will be fooled for sure because of this kinda stuff looking like something a hacker woud send. And normaly we never get anything remotely like it from CCP.
If you want to bring something to the community and ask us to fill in a survey , ask it on www.eveonline.com trough a devblog or in the news section, but not tru email.

Legit it is. Extremly stupid it is as well. Do you realy want to learn what you userbase thinks? Get someone new to work out the questions. Thx

Is there a quest where they ask if we liked it when destroyed the back story faction aspect of the game?

Can I suggest in future that the email be made to look like the other official CCP emails such as the newsletter rather than something that some phisher cooked up to steal our account details?

I never really complain about ccp and think the generally do a good job but this thing was a mess. Sent about 40 minutes with it and then shut it off. If you want me to spend a hour and half letting you get free marketing informations from my brain you had better offer me something.

The site is back up again and running smoothly. The questions seem to be worded different as well. I'm interested to see the results.

OK, CCP said the email is legit, I have received this mail too but I am getting suspicious that my copy of the email may be a phishing attempt. If CCP could offer a way of letting us know the email we have received is legit it would be much appreciated.
Why do I think mine is fake?
Well the link to the survey on mine shows "http://EVEOnline-survey-2011.quest..." (Truncated to prevent clicking to phishing site) however hovering mouse over link shows me its actually going to send me to "http://links.mail.eveonline.com/ctt?kn=1&m=366339..." (again truncated to prevent clicking to phishing site).
If this is the legit email, why have CCP disguised the link to the survey?

I filled out the survey. Took 30 seconds per page to load. Glad I finished it though. Looks like everyone is giving up on it. Now my suggestions are the only ones that are going to be submitted. Welcome to the dawn of a new day for Indy. |

The link I got in the mail doesn't work though, not even when copypasted into browser.

edit: I also noticed the redirection, however it still doesn't work..

CCP: Next time, stagger the invite mails you send out over a few days.
Perhaps more importantly: this thing happens every time CCP sends out a survey ù GD gets swamped with "is this legit" threads.
Could CCP at some point take the time to consider that they're managing a game and a community where a fair amount of paranoia is a very real and very necessary in-game, meta-game and out-of-game trait to have?
The next time, make a sticky thread first.
Then send out the survey emails, and include a link to said thread.
Communication and coordination at its finest ù it would save everyone a bit of grief.
Agreed. Looks like someone from CCP didn't think this through.. I mean even I think sometimes! It would be better to send an INGAME mail.

Just completed it. Has been very responsive for me. No loading times to speak of.
To figure out if it was legit took me almost as long as the actual thing tho .

I too did not waste my time filling out this "survey", in fact it was marked as "SPAM" and was dutifully rejected. CCP,I think in order to put the community at ease you really need to think through ever doing something like this again by posting something ahead of time so that way people will know it's real or legit.
In this day and time with so much that can happen when one opens their mail and click on embedded links its no telling what kind of keyloggers, trojans, viruses that we may get infected with, and take my advise, THINK before you hit send again.
Thank you.

The survey works much better today. Now you need a survey about the survey. Some advice for the future:
1. Have something official on this site letting people know it's coming. EVE has taught us all to trust no one and believe everything is a scam. And you've helped reinforce that. Your normally pretty forthcoming, so if you don't warn us it's coming we have to assume up front it's a scam.
2. If the people hosting can't take the load, then stagger those email invites.

Only took about 5 minutes this morning. They left "Guild Wars" out of their MMO list however... that made me sad.

One of the beasic questions when making is a survey is "what facts do I want to get from it and does my survey provide those facts?
I couldn't really indicate anywhere that i find most of EVE's content not really challenging even though they ask later if it's important for you ..
Oh well ..

Also, another vote here for the pointlessness (or at least poor wording) of some questions adding to the frustration - how much do I agree with the statement that Eve 'is realistic'? Hard to judge, I'd say - I'm not sure what stage interstellar spacecraft technology has reached in the US but here in Europe I'd have to say that a game about immortal humans sitting inside pods of goo controlling spaceships with their minds in order to wage vast interstellar wars is edging on the side of fantasy as opposed to realism.
lol, I would have argued that EVE is far from realistic as the world & technology is way too similar to contemporary earth.
EVE Online is set about 21,300 years from now and in the backstory mankind has gone through roughly 10,000 years of Dark Ages losing nearly all technology and social structure in the process. Yet after 6,000 years of progression, 8,000 years of dark ages and 7,000 years of rebuilding the whole culture is still roughly the same as AD 2,000 - heck, even religious customs, ethnicities and languages have transferred seamlessly & without much change.
As a point of comparison: we just have to go back 5,500 - 6,000 years from now to arrive at a common ancestor for all indo-european languages. Agriculture started only about 13,000 years ago in Mesopotamia / 9,000 years ago in Europe.

I had no e-mail either, actually CCP has never sent me any mails except when paying for subscription but seems we didn't miss anything important.

If it's legit, why can't I find it on this website. It should be one of the top news articles on the front page. I don't follow links through email, so if they want people doing the survey, they should probably put something about it on here.

God bless you, exactly what i was thinking. I even think that indirectly people are going to get hacked the next time someone makes a convincing looking phishing mail because of them sending it to us trough email without any official post or topic about it on the official website.
I even went as far as making a ingame petition to confirm it was legit and followed the link the GM gave me ingame in his petition reply instead of the one i got trough mail. if there is one thing i learned is to NEVER click on links send in emails , allways google and go there manualy yourself.
Next time put it on your website and refer to it in mail that its on your website CCP and i will click it there.
However:
Thank you for completing this survey.
We appreciate your time and contribution.
